Secrets always have a way of coming out -- The Guardian's Bond

The Guardian's Bond

Secrets always have a way of coming out...

Not only does Livi learn the secret her family and Tommy have hidden from her for years, she shows them one of her own...

Livi’s eyes widened. “That’s why he started the change just from cleaning me up last night?”

“Yes.”

“Dad, the full moon is in like a week.”

“I know, and if you mate with him then, even though it’s the first time for you both together, he’ll most likely claim you then, even if you both want to hold the claiming off.”

Livi glanced sideways as her lips jutted to the side. “Well you see…that’s not entirely true.”

“What?” Kalana said as she jumped up, standing by Drake.

“If you two have mated, he wouldn’t be going into a rut,” Drake said.

“I kinda…have been coming here since I went into season, and I’ve been mating with Tommy every full moon; although he has no idea it’s me,” Livi said as she looked back to her parents.

“Explain,” Drake growled. “There’s no way he wouldn’t know it was you, he’d have scented you the moment you stepped foot here. Especially during the full moon.”

Livi stood. “Okay but it’s easier to show you. Step back.”

“By the ancients,” Drake whispered.

“Holy shit,” Kalana said.

“Hey, I had no idea,” Mari said as she held up her hands.

Livi smiled at them as she…

What a teaser 

The Guardian's Bond

July Release - The Minotaur's Mate

Woot, woot!! Ok, with the release of the final Other Kin Book - The Guardian's Bond on May 1st, I'm gearing up for my new book being released on July 15th with Whiskey Creek Press Torrid.

Soooooo, exciting!!!!

How exciting...

This huge grin can't even begin to show how exciting!!

The Minotaur's Mate.

The idea came to me while researching for another plot rummaging through my head and I came across these awesome pictures of Minotaur's and started reading up on them.

Then I had to go and watch Fast Five with Dwayne Johnson (Formally known as The Rock) and my hero was born.

Then I saw this beautiful Silver and Black Mac and one who's always been an admirer of the 18 wheeler (Cause I wanted to drive the big rigs. That's what I told my elementary school teacher when she asked the class what we wanted to be when we grew up).

It didn't help that my dad had an Eagle CB down in the basement or that we all CB's in the cars when I was younger and handles. Tee hee, Loved it! (Ah crap, did I just give away my age?)

Any who...Thus my heroine was born. She's a truck driver of an awesome Silver and Black Bulldog Mac 

AND, AND...

her CB handle is My Dad's. That's right, I used my dad's CB handle. I've always loved it!!

So there you go...What a teaser!!!! 

Ok, ok, here's a blurb to ... tease you more 

During a bar fight, truck driver Serafina Rinne accidentally hits the one man who could ruin her career. Sheriff Gabriel Conall.

Serafina’s amazed at the way her body leaps to life around the brawny Sheriff, and goes quietly when he leads her into the Sheriff’s station.

Then Gabe makes her an offer she can’t turn down…stay in jail or gain her freedom. He’ll drop the charges – all she has to do is help him move a Dragon egg.

Gabe helps Fina understand she has the blood coursing through her veins. She is one of them, this is why she can see creatures when other humans can’t. Fina finds out just how hot passion can be between two of the blood when they’re attracted to each other. When Gabe shows his dominant side, something she’s always longed for opens up within Fina.

When a stilted lover tries to kidnap the egg, Serafina puts her life on the line to save the baby Dragon.

My Book has been Blitzed over at The Book Cove!

Who says guardians can’t be sexy and sassy with one hell of a right hook.

Livi radiates sassiness, especially toward Tommy Moilanin, her former childhood friend, and unbeknownst to Livi…her future mate. Kept apart so she could concentrate on her training, Livi realizes how strong her bond with Tommy is.

Tommy is a Lyken warrior, strong and proud, and he makes sure Livi’s guardian side understands his dominance as their bond grows into a relationship they both yearn for.

Livi lifted her gaze to the council members. “I meant what I said. I haven’t been out there twiddling my thumbs. I’ve been learning how to better defend Alston against anything that might come up. I’ve made friends and I’ve trained well. I know what I’m doing and I’m asking for the chance to finish this out. Let me do what I have to, let me be the Guardian I am, the Guardian I’ve trained to be.” Her gut twisted as they looked at each other, mentally syncing to discuss what would be happening. Her nostrils flared sensing Tommy stepping closer to her and stopped when the council met her gaze. Livi blew out a breath slowly as Elder Noela informed her that she would continue to stay close to this Hunter on Alston and inform the Security Forces daily of her findings. She was also to keep a mental line open to any member within hearing in case she needed help.

“ I accept your stipulations and I will follow them. Also know that Triton is a call away to help, but with Pele getting ready to deliver their first child, he’s decided to stay close to Hawaii.” Bowing, she turned and left the chamber with Tommy and Peter close behind.

“ I don’t like it,” Tommy said.

“ Oh, I know that,” Livi replied as she unzipped her ceremonial robes, heading to the women’s side of the chamber.

“ Christ, Livi.”

“ What?” she asked turning, zipper stopping at her navel.

“ Can’t you even wear underclothes?” he asked as Peter chuckled.

Livi smiled. “No, I hate them.”

“ Must be the Fae in you.”

Livi snorted. “Hell no, it’s the Lyken.” Turning back around she let the robe drop, catching it with one hand as she entered the women’s door, knowing she gave him a good view of her backside.

“ She’s going to be the death of me,” Tommy groaned to her soft laughter.

Livi looked to the left to see Tommy, dressed in his black uniform of BDU pants, t-shirt and combat boots, walking toward her. She snarled when her pussy contracted. “Are you following me?”

“ And if I was?”

“ I’d tell you to beat feet.” Livi’s smile dropped as he came closer.

“ I never said I couldn’t stand the sight of you. Those words came from your mouth.”

Her gaze narrowed. “I’m not the one who backed away and stayed there.”

“ With good reason, and you still haven’t learned a lesson obviously.”

She tilted her head to meet his eyes as Tommy stood a good foot taller than her own five-four. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“ How easily you flirt with men you don’t know. Is that what Triton has been teaching you all these years?”

“ Up yours, ass-wipe.” Going to step around him, Livi gasped when he grabbed her arm hauling her to his chest.

“ Are you even a virgin still or have you come into season?” he growled.

Livi jerked her arm away from him and stepped back. “What the hell does it matter to you? It’s not like you are.”

“ That’s different.”

“ The hell it is. I know Lyken males start the full moon mating between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, when was yours, Tommy? When did you take your first bitch?” she snapped.

“ If I don’t take a pack bitch when the mating urge comes, I could die, Olivia. You know this,” he snapped back.

“ So what? Why is it such a big deal if I’ve had sex or not? I’m twenty-eight years old.”

Tommy growled, his canines elongating. “Have you come into season yet?”

“ Yes!”

“ With who?”

Livi’s canines descended from her anger over this stupid conversation and yelled the first thing that came to mind. “The Prince of Atlantis!”

“ There’s five of them!”

Livi took a deep breath and smiled at him as she stepped away, tossing her hair like a diva over her shoulder as she turned her back to him and walked away...

The Guardian's Bond - Story Board on Pinterest

Pinterest has been interesting indeed 

I originally started the Pinterest account to do story boards for my books that are releasing or out. 

The Guardian's Bond story board is finished and I'm working on one for The Minotaur's Mate (releasing July 2014 with Whiskey Creek Press Torrid).

I found that I really like it. I love searching through the pictures posted and have more than several boards going

The Edits & a dental procedure HAVE begun ;-p

The Guardian's Bond

Ohhhh, I am soooooo stoked!!

I received my first round of edits last week and had them back in not to long after! Woot!!

The Last story in The Other Kin Series, is coming May 2014.

I'm glad my edits came to me and I had them back to my editor 

before yesterday. 

Ohh, the drama...two teeth extracted and a bone graph done so I can have the implants.

The dentist asked me on our consult if I'd rather go with a partial, as it's close to the two back teeth and my insurance would pick more up. 

I replied nah, that's ok, I'm to tired and lazy in the morning and night to take them out, clean them and OH...remember where I put them .

My dentist and her assistant laughed and said, 'well at least you're honest.'

My oral surgeon is great ... he loves James Bond and has it going on all TVs in the office when he's working (There's one in every room). 

We were watching Casino Royale before those nifty little 'sleeping agents' worked and twighlighted me right out. 

 CH'A!! 

So, now I'm all set for the next round of edits! *Pulling my editing panties up.* 

My mouth soreness has just about dissipated, but I'm still on a liquid or 'smooth' diet and I took tomorrow off from the day job! HA, I will be well rested!

Have a great Sunday!!!!

Pinterest -- I made it! :-)

I know...I made it right, LOL. Finally

My first project, I built a story board for my release coming in May 2014

The Guardian's Bond.

Then I made a board for my book covers, Fun Drink Friday drinks and my hobby of Organic Gardening.

So far, so good!

Go check me out at: http://www.pinterest.com/authorcasalo/

I gotta say, I think Pinterest is pretty cool. I'm a visual person, so being able to set  up a story board with pictures to show what I'm thinking is an interesting concept.

Not sure why it took me so long to hop on the Pinterest train, LOL.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!
