Only the strong survive.
Pack Rogue
Writing a strong female lead is one of the hardest pieces when piecing together a novel. Kiley Palmer, the female main character, of my latest book is the only exception I’ve encountered. Writing Kiley’s story flowed so easily that it began to worry me.
Working up a character like Kiley’s background includes a lot of research in how and why she might react a certain way. At one point I’d put Kiley through so much I even began to doubt if she would come through.
But in the end Pack Rogue is exactly how Kiley’s story should go. She meets a strong dominant Alpha wolf shifter. The kind of man she’d vowed to stay away from. After one night together she runs off leaving a piece of herself behind. Imagine Kiley’s surprise when she runs into Austin and finds out he’s an Alpha of a pack visiting her home.
Kiley isn’t part of the local wolf pack. She’d given up any bond with other shifters after years of torture and abuse at the hands of her old Alpha. She still keeps in touch with a few friends, does odd jobs for the Alpha, but it’s the Alpha’s small child that keeps her close. Kiley loves Jesse and will not allow anything like what happened to her ever happen to Jesse.
Circumstances throw Kiley and Austin together. The Rogue and the Alpha.
Now someone is trying to run them over. Shots are fired. There are feline shifters hunting them.
You know just another crazy adventure in the Were Chronicles series!
The Were Chronicles were my first foray into writing a series and I’m still surprised by how well received they’ve been. Originally there were fifteen novellas released. In 2016 Totally Bound asked me to revamp the books into what we are now releasing.
With over 25,000 words of added content, re-edited, and a new cover the Were Chronicles series are unlike other shifter books I’ve written. Each book has a unique look into the world of how a shifter lives to survive.
From a in depth look at pack life and politics, to deciding to become public, and finally the struggle of having the same freedoms of humans the Were Chronicles will keep you on your toes.
Fifteen books in a series written make it hard to have a favorite character or couple. However Kiley is the one that stayed with me throughout the entire time I’ve been writing the series. She never gives up. Never backs down. Kiley is an example of a woman who not only comes out on top but takes the time to help others rise as well.
I hope you’ll give Pack Rogue a try and meet Kiley, Austin, Ginger, Tyler, Gray, Jesse, and the others.
Pack Rogue Blurb-
The Rogue meets the Alpha…and their worlds explode.
Kiley Palmer doesn’t have a pack, doesn’t want a pack and has convinced herself she doesn’t need a pack. She has her reasons for being Rogue and staying away from Alpha men. When news gets out that the shifter world is planning to become public, threats and danger pull her back into the territory where her greatest nightmares came true. There’s a new Alpha and his best friend is someone who Kiley thought she’d never see again.
Austin Winters is visiting his best friend’s territory while meeting with representatives of the Alpha Council about plans to announce shifters to the world. When the woman who he’d had a one-night stand with several months ago walks in, Austin is shocked and excited. He’d felt the connection between him and Kiley, but after she’d disappeared, he’d almost given up hope of ever finding her.
With danger around every corner, past traumas and a growing pack, the cards are stacked against the Rogue and the Alpha. But with a connection as deep as theirs, Austin and Kiley might be what the shifters need for the upcoming battle.
Reader Advisory: This book contains references to past sexual abuse/slavery, references to bad parenting.
