10) What else about your novel might pique the reader's interest?-If you like a series where the books can stand alone, yet still contain characters you've grown fond of when you've read the other books in the series, then the Cedar River series may just be the series for you.
Cedar River, Michigan is a wonderful place to fall
in love. Some people see change as a good thing, but there are a few others who
can’t let go of the “old ways.” “Breeds should stay within their breeds,” they
say.
Adam Thomas is the deputy sheriff in Cedar River.
His black puma shifter side got him released from the military and sent back
home. His demons followed, but they are nothing compared to the ones within his
pride.
Luna McIntyre is the only daughter and shaman to
the McIntyre pack. She is tired of being smothered and told what to do in
regards to her life. She’s opened a sweet shop and moved forward with her life.
However, the love of her teen years is back in town and her family is trying to
rein her in again.
Someone in this small town is so set in their
beliefs that they can’t see how love is sometimes simply love. Cats and canines
may be natural born enemies, but love may be enough to get past the
differences.
Excerpt:
I’ll
never forget the first look I got of Adam. He wore his bad attitude like a
well-worn pair of jeans. Gods, I wanted to be the woman to tame his wild side.
The anger radiated off him in waves, but I knew in my heart that he was simply
hurting.
Every
year since I could remember, the pack and the pride would lay aside their
differences and would help with the clearing of downed trees in the woods
between the two lands. Roman Pierce recruited Adam to help. He was a young and
able body. His lanky muscles bunched and relaxed with each piece of wood he
tossed into the waiting trailers. My mouth still waters at that memory. Then,
Adam got arrested. My dad warned me to stay away from Adam, but there was something
about that young man. I started to make excuses to go into town with my
girlfriends in hopes of catching his eye.
“He’s
nothing but bad news, Luna,” my friend, Maria, said.
“If
that’s what bad news looks like, you can deliver it to me every day,” was my
reply.
Adam’s
black hair was always in his eyes, but when those piercing green eyes turned my
way, I felt my insides melt. A mere glance from the Pierce Pride bad boy sent
my heart racing. I would watch him in the halls at school and on the football
field. His speed made him the best receiver on the Cedar River Miners. I’d
watch him on the side lines palling around with “Bodacious” Bowie Golden. Those
two together were enough to make a girl’s panties drop with a simple smile.
