Thank you having
me here today! I’m so excited to be sharing my first paranormal romance with
you!
Curse Of
The Beast is a story about how life can throw so much in your direction that
you’re ready to wave the white flag and surrender. Grayson, our shapeshifting
hero, has not only reached that point, he’s been pushed over it when his father
is murdered. Grayson is alone, angry, tired of struggling and is more than
ready to give up everything. That is, until, he meets the one person that can
show him there is still something worth fighting for—love.

BLURB:
All of his life, Grayson Blackpaw lived by the rules of the half-breeds.
He heeded the warnings and fought to keep the animal within under control, only
to have his father murdered by the
very thing his kind could never harm. Even if it means cursing himself to spend
the rest of his days as a beast, Grayson was going to find the human
responsible and make them pay—with their life.
Shapeshifters exist. Summer Jenkins wouldn’t have believed it herself,
if she hadn’t watched a cougar change into a man before her very eyes. It
doesn’t hurt when the man is as delectable as Grayson, either. Utterly
droolworthy, Grayson sends her pulse racing and her heart falling...fast. But
when Grayson admits that he’s willing to give up everything for the sake of
revenge, will love be enough or can nothing stop the curse of the beast?
EXCERPT:
Summer inched over on the couch until her knees brushed against his, and
she placed her hand on his thigh. It was a simple gesture of reassurance but
the heat of her hand seeped through the denim, branding his skin and shooting
higher. Desire flooded his veins and Summer’s breathing hitched when she felt
it course through him. “He wasn’t the only one to touch me in some way,
Grayson.”
Beginning to slowly make her way up his inner leg, Grayson grabbed her
wrist before she closed what little distance there was left. If she made it to
her destination, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself. He was already growing
rigid in mere anticipation of her touching his length. If she actually made
contact, he would lose what little restraint he held on to.
“Summer. I would like nothing more than to pull that dress up, plunge
deep inside and take you over and over again, letting you know exactly how much
I want you. But, we can’t. I won’t take the chance of hurting you.”
“You’re not going to hurt me. Worrying that you will is enough for me to
know that you won’t.”
“You can’t know that because even I don’t. Summer, you need to
understand there’s a chance I will do exactly that.” Grayson shook his head and
took a breath. He wasn’t sure he could explain the constant battle of wills
that had been waging inside of him for as long as he could remember, or how
he’d been losing, but he needed to try. It wasn’t him just being overly
cautious, there was a real danger. If he lost what little hold he had on the
cougar while he was with her, he didn’t know what would or could happen.
Grayson didn’t even want to think of the possibilities. “The lure of our animal
halves is strong. The more we give in to them, the stronger they become. The
stronger they become, the more we give in to them. Without something to stop
the progression, the animal and its instincts become the predominant half and
slowly overpower the human’s ability to remain in control.”
“So the worst that can happen is you shift into the cougar. I can
handle…”
Grayson shook his head to cut her off. That damn stubbornness of hers
was more than a little frustrating. “No Summer, you can’t. The worst that can
happen is not the cougar. It’s the beast.”
