Book Description:
The Takeover
Tor Omar James, King of the North African pride, needs one woman if he has any hope of keeping his sanity – Anise, his Soul’s Mate. There’s only one problem: she’s pregnant by Derrick, Tor of the United States pride. Anise is caught between the love that every Lycan covets and the motherly devotion to the son she would sacrifice so much for. Can Omar survive the takeover of the US pride and convince Anise that he is more man than lion?
The Defender
Asim Tyson, the Defender of the Hafiz, is fighting off the insanity of his longing after losing his Soul’s Mate in battle. Unfortunately, his self-centered existence results in the gross neglect of his people when they need him the most. When Harmony appears in his life, he is forced to make a choice. Should he resist the lure of Harmony’s caustic melody or embrace his weakness in order to keep her safe?
Excerpt
2 The Defender:
TYSON STARED
DOWN THE HALL where his office was to the door of his bedroom. It had been more
than half an hour, and Isis still hadn’t exited the room. He took two steps
before he became aware that someone else was in his house.
“You’re a
dumbass.”
He turned to his
left to see the last god he wanted occupying his personal space leaning against
the bathroom door.
“Meaning?” he
asked the God of Destruction. He didn’t really care about the answer, because
Lykil would likely say something meant to piss him off.
“Who the hell
declines sex?”
“Me.”
“Admit it,
you’re scared.”
“What exactly am
I scared of?”
“Intimacy. Poor
you. Lost your Soul’s Mate, and now you can’t deal. Boo-fucking-hoo. Life is
terrible if you let it be.”
Tyson watched
Lykil for a few moments before he simply nodded. He walked down the hallway to
his living room where he relaxed on the sofa. He hoped by turning on his TV
he’d find a distraction and discourage the god from hanging around.
“Ignored by a
mortal. Lykil, that’s a new one.”
Tyson turned to
the sound of Ronan’s voice.
“What the fuck
are you doing here?”
“Forced
compliance,” Ronan answered with a shrug.
Tyson froze,
hoping Ronan wasn’t implying they would soon be joined by more Rockys. Ronan—an
observant fucker from growing up surrounded by females—didn’t miss his facial
twitch.
“Yeah, you’re
readable as shit when you’re irritated,” Lykil said, obviously reading his
thoughts. “And calm down. The Rockys aren’t here. They don’t really like you
too much right now, remember?
You have the
benefit of Ronan and a contingent of the Blue Ridge fighters on call if the
need arises. Omar also has some local Alesers from Zareb Joey’s pride ready
when we say the word.”
“Five Lycans
showed up here looking for her. I killed them. I’m waiting until her Rut is
over until I hunt down the ones who took her in the first place. Why in the
hell would I need so many Lycans to help me do a one-person job?”
Lykil sat next
to Tyson on the sofa, making him uncomfortably aware how much space an eternal
being could occupy.
“I can make you
more uncomfortable. We could cuddle and watch one of Ronan’s movies. There’s a
lot of moaning and bodily fluids.”
Ronan and Tyson
answered in unison. “I don’t watch porn, asshole.”
“I’ll pass.”
Lykil shrugged.
“Your loss. That goes for both of you. I can cuddle like no one else, and porn
is amazing. The things people do to get off inspires the worst parts of me.”
“There’s
something worse than this conversation?” Tyson asked, shifting away from Lykil.
About the Author:
Kelsey Jordan is the author of The Gardinian World novels. Though she has a preference for all things paranormal and romantic, Kelsey admits she just writes what her muse demands of her. It’s less painful that way. When she isn’t enjoying the momentary benefits of playing god to the many characters that live in her head, she can usually be found curled up with a book, killing something in a video game, or spending time with her family. At some point in the day she is probably drinking more than her recommended dose of coffee, but don’t tell her that. She doesn’t care about recommended servings.
As a Texas native and self-described Air Force brat, Kelsey now lives in Georgia with her husband and their tutu-wearing minion.
