Leo
Prowling
for His Mate
Release date: August 7, 2018
Can a Lion be the mate a mousy librarian needs?
Guarding the pride’s queen is an honor Jaison
is happy to take on. He spends hours preparing for every contingency. He is
ready to lay down his life if the necessity arises. What he isn’t expecting and
couldn’t have planned for was when his mate crosses his path in the form of
human librarian Paighton Knight.
Paighton Knight
believes love is the stuff of fairy tales and has no time for those kinds of
stories. Raised to be the perfect librarian, she is unprepared for feelings she
doesn’t believe are real to wash over her. The second she comes into contact
with Jaison Karatasos her world begins to turn and her eyes see what they
weren’t able to before.
With the moon rising
into the reign of Leo, Jaison has one month to show Paighton that love does
exist, or he must wait until the next Leo cycle. When his responsibilities to
his pride clash with his needs for his mate, will he be able to merge the two
worlds?

PG Excerpt
…Jaison got up, and the perfect view of his ass in a pair of worn blue
jeans distracted her. He retrieved a worn leather bag before returning to his
seat. He pulled out a paperback and offered it to Kalista. “You sure you don’t
want this first?”
“Nah, you read it. I’ve got something I need to research.”
“Suit yourself.” Leaning back, he opened the book.
“You’re serious about reading romances?” Paighton asked.
With a nod Jaison opened the book. “I told you, we don’t lie?”
“I thought it was a joke.”
“I take my romances very seriously, thank you. This one is the sixth in
the series.”
“And you’ve read the other five?”
“Hmm mmm.” He turned the next page. “When we are traveling far, it’s
nice for us to have something to talk about, Kali and I.”
“Makes my husband bonkers.” Kalista giggled. “If you want, I think the
first book is here somewhere. Lenora?”
“Yes, ma’am?”
“Do you have the book I loaned you?”
“Finished it this morning. Do you have the second?” Lenora returned from
the galley and placed two trays before her and Jaison.
Kalista frowned. “In the back I think. I’ll get it once they wake up.”
“Do you want to give it a try?” Jaison asked.
She debated; her parents always poohpoohed the idea of books for
pleasure. You read to expand your knowledge. Granted, she had enjoyed a book or
two while in school, but most of the time that wasn’t the case. That she and Jaison
could meet to chat about something appealed to her, though. “Sure. Why not?
It’s a long flight.”
“That’s the spirit.”
Lenora returned again and held out the book, not sure who to give it to.
Jaison grabbed it as she placed a tray before Kalista. “Should I wake Nikolas?”
Lenora asked.
Jaison glanced behind him. “Nah. Let him sleep but have a double portion
ready for him when he wakes.” Jaison slid the book over to her. “The dog-eared
pages are my favorite parts.”
She gasped. “You dog-ear pages?”
“Only in the romances, I promise.”
“Yes, but once you see how he and the others have treated the libraries,
dog-eared pages will be the least of your worries,” Kalista said between bites.
“Could you mind your own business, please? I’m trying to impress the
lady.”
Kalista leaned forward, raised an eyebrow, and humphed. “Is it working?”
“Not sure yet, I might need some convincing,” Paighton teased and was
awarded by a huge smile and laugh from the other woman who bit into her
sandwich as she opened the laptop the other flight attendant placed before her.
Golden eyes bored into her as he whispered, “Tell me, how much
convincing do you need?”
She gulped, having laid down a gauntlet she had no idea how to play.
This was a field she knew about only from books. Science books at that. She
could tell you technically when one fell in love or lust, what went on. She
could explain in scientific terms the chemistry of the emotions, felt secure in
knowing the little details like the brain stimulates the production of estrogen
and testosterone. But what she’d experienced in the last twenty-four hours
opened a new world for her.
Steamy excerpt:
Shame and
embarrassment washed over Paighton. “I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions,
but you won’t touch me. You barely kiss me. I continually throw myself at you,
and you reject me.”
“I never
rejected you.” Jaison voice boomed off the walls.
“You have at
every turn. You might not have meant to, but you did all the same.”
“I won’t be
making that mistake again,” he growled, pulling off his shirt.
“What are you
saying?” she asked in a voice far huskier than she believed she could have. She
stared at his bare chest, itching to touch him but fearful he would push her
away yet again.
Next to his
shirt landed his pants, socks, and shoes. “I’m saying we aren’t leaving this
room until we’ve mated.”
“Oh, thank god.”
She threw herself into his arms. “Though I burn for you, and this heat is
building, my mind is clear. I want you. All of you.”
“You have all of
me.” He worked her blouse over her head and made quick work of her bra. The
hair on his chest tickled her nipples, making them hard nubs.
“Not yet, but I
will.” She fought with her skirt and other clothes until she was as naked as
he. Gripping her ass, he carried her to the bed.
“I’m going to go
as slowly as I can. I want to make sure you’re with me every step of the way.”
He left a trail of kisses from her jaw down her collarbone to her breast. After
laying a kiss just above her belly button he asked. “Do you want me to touch
you, kiss you intimately?”
She nodded. When
he didn’t do anything, she peeked between her fingers to see him staring back
at her. “You want me to say it?”
“Oh, I need you
to say it.”
“You know what I
want.”
“Yes, but your
words are important. They give purpose and permission to your actions.”
“And perhaps
there is a little vindication in this because I’m uncomfortable as hell.”
“Never has a
penance been so sweet.”
“Please touch
me?”
He cupped her
intimately between her thighs. “Just touch?”
“No, the other,
too.”
He rolled onto
his side, rested his head in his palm, and stared at her. “You’ll have to be
more specific. There really are a great number of other things I would like to
do to you, but I doubt you are prepared for that kind of kink quite yet.”
“Kink what?”
“I’ll get you a
book,” he said as his thumb rolled over her sensitive clit. “So we’ll simply
touch.”
She raised her
hips, needing more but not sure what more was. He responded by placing his
other hand on her stomach and forcing her to stay in place, creating an
exquisite torture. “Jaison, please.”
“Please what?”
She fought his
hand, believing if she could raise her hips, he would take care of her needs.
“I don’t know.”
“Didn’t you read
about what to expect?” Damn him, he was teasing her.
She lifted her
head. “Of course I did, but other than telling me where your penis would go, it
didn’t really help me.”
“Perhaps if
you’d read the books I gave you, it would’ve helped.”
Dumbfounded, she
stared at him as he fought not to laugh. Thinking of a comeback, she collapsed
back on the pillow. At the same time, he kissed her intimately. His tongue
caressed and circled her clit, and all thoughts left her. The heat built, but
this time, it didn’t burn. He stroked it and her until the muscles within
tightened. He eased a finger within her, massaging her insides, followed
shortly by a second. Before she knew what was happening, her body shook, but
instead of stopping, he increased the pressure.
The world
exploded around her in bright starbursts. And as she came back to earth—because
she really believed her body had gone airborne—he still didn’t stop. “I need
you please,” she begged.
