Wildcat Arrows

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: steamy novella

*This was written to be a lengthy novella. (Much longer than a story- but not as long as a novel.)

Travel with Victoria to the Vermont woods, where she meets an enigmatic carpenter named Kirkpatrick. He lives in a log cabin, turns wood into works of art, and is the sexiest male Victoria's ever seen. She wants the beautiful carpenter to make love to her so she can get him out of her system. Kirkpatrick is only too happy to oblige. Soon she realizes that the sexy woodsman has a unique perspective on life– but is he what he seems?

PRAISE FOR IN KIRKPATRICK'S WOODS:

"Dara Joy is one of those rare writers who sets her bar incredibly high with each passing story and always manages to surpass that bar by delivering entertaining, delightful, helluva good tales. She is probably one of the best, if not the best, storytellers out there today and she can hook you into her stories faster than you can turn the first page. . .  In Kirkpatrick's Woods reads like a beautifully written love letter to her fans.  You will treasure it forever. I know I
will." – Cecily B.

"I was amazed at how well-written it is. Beautifully written, in fact, and all shades of unconventional." – Technoelfie

"Kirkpatrick has become one of my favorite hero's. He's pretty much EVERYTHING you want in a man." – Michelle

"I believe that you were very aptly named- for "Joy" is what a writer can bring to those in despair. . .  Your books not only whisk me away to far away places, but inspire me to be my own heroine in the story of my life. Thank you!" – Racie

"I have to say that your books are loved and enjoyed by all age groups. Every woman wants a Kirkpatrick in their lives. I can just imagine myself in your books. Just being there in that place. I hate it when the book is over. I just want it to continue. I can lose myself in your books." – Shelly F.

"I finished Kirkpatrick's Woods last night. It took me a day to find the right words. What a beautiful poetic story."  – Pam

It's not every day that Elsa Bjornberg feels delicate, not when she hosts a home renovation show where she can effortlessly demolish a kitchen. But from the moment she meets Howard Barr, this bear of a man makes her feel like a woman. And the way he looks at her, as if she were a pot of honey he'd like to lick . . .

Howard is not like most men. For one thing, he's a shapeshifter. And he always thought his celebrity crush would never amount to anything more than drooling at Elsa on TV. When his meddling vampire employer gets involved, the star is suddenly within his grasp—and within a hair of her life. For an ancient curse forbids their newfound love, and Howard is suddenly torn between his desire for her and his desire to keep her alive.

It's those damn stockings that get me every time. They have this sexy little line down the back and I can't help but stare at her legs. . .constantly. And you'd think she'd be all over me like every other female in the Seattle area. I'm young, good looking, and one day I'll be Alpha Male of my family's Pack. But Professor Irene Conridge acts like I don't even exist. How is that possible? Now she's got enemies coming out of the woodwork and I have to protect her. Why? Because that's the kind of man I am. Yes, I am that amazing. Of course, it doesn't hurt that while I work to secure her safety, she'll be hanging out at my house. That's hours. . .days even that I've got Irene Conridge right where I want her.

I'm too dangerous for her. I know it, but I can't get my sexy new neighbor out of my head. When I hear her scream one night, the absolute last thing I expect to see is Miranda Shaw--star of my hottest fantasies--being attacked by a vampire. Now the undead jerk is after her, and I'm the only thing standing between the beautiful lady and a killer who just won't stop. Well, too bad for him, because that vamp has just made the worst mistake of his afterlife--he's tangled with a shifter. And Miranda, well, she's so busy watching out for him that she won't see me closing in on her--not until it's too late--and I'm about to show her just how wild I can get. . .

Has this immortal finally met her match?

Rogue hunter Drina Argenis (from the Spanish side of the Argeneau family) has been many things in her years as an immortal, but bodyguard/babysitter to a teenage vampire is something new. There's an incentive, however: the other vampsitter, Harper Stoyan, may be Drina's life mate.

Trouble is, having just lost a life mate, Harper is resigned to being alone. He's completely unprepared when sexy and unpredictable Drina bursts into his life to reignite his passions. Can Drina, with a little matchmaking help from their teen charge, tempt this reluctant vampire to take a chance?

Or will a dangerous, unseen renegade kill Drina and Harper's one chance at happiness?

When Vampires Go On Vacation . . .

Escaping a horrible marriage, Carolyn Connor has no desire to think about men—a vow she's determined to keep while on vacation in St. Lucia. She'll take the Caribbean sun and sea and plenty of tropical drinks with those cute umbrellas poolside, thank you. She absolutely does not need male company, no matter how tan and rock-hard his body may be.

Easy enough, but then Carolyn meets the charming Marguerite Argeneau, who is infamous among her family for her matchmaking prowess . . .

Christian Notte has well known the power of finding a life mate. He's seen enough of his Argeneau relatives taken down for the count, but he never imagined he'd let himself fall in love—until he meets the enthralling, charmingly skittish, and oh-so-mortal Carolyn. But how will he reveal what he is and still convince this once-bitten mortal to trust him with her heart . . . and her forever?

How much trouble can one small female be to a modern-day shapeshifting Viking? Well…it really depends on local gun laws.

Conall Víga-Feilan, direct descendent of Viking shifters, never thought he’d meet a female strong enough to be his mate. He especially didn’t think a short, viper-tongued human would ever fit the bill. But Miki Kendrick isn’t some average human. With an IQ off the charts and a special skill with weapons of all kinds, Miki brings the big blond pooch to his knees—and keeps him there.

Miki’s way too smart to ever believe in love and she knows a guy like Conall could only want one thing from her. But with the Pack’s enemies on her tail and a few days stuck alone with the one man who makes her absolutely wild, Miki is about to discover how persistent one Viking wolf can be.

What’s an Alpha Male to do when he meets the Alpha Female of his dreams? Step one, hide all sharp objects…

All Zach Sheridan ever wanted was to become Alpha Male of his Pack and be left alone. What he definitely didn’t need in his life was some needy female demanding his attention. What he never saw coming was the vicious, scarred female who not only demanded his attention but knew exactly how to get it.

Sara Morrighan knew this was the best she could expect from her life. Good friends. A nice place to live. And a safe job. But when Zach rode into her small Texas town with his motorcycle club, Sara knew she wanted more. She knew she wanted him.

But after one sexy encounter with her dream biker, everything is starting to change. Her body. Her strength. That new thing she’s doing with the snarling. Even her best friends are starting to wonder what’s going on with her.

But this is only the beginning. Sara’s about to find out her life was meant for so much more. And Zach’s about to find true love with the one woman who makes him absolutely insane.

The book has been previously published and expanded for Samhain Publishing.
