IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
What’s my novel about?
A new place, a new start on a life, that’s all Becky wants. A place she can feel safe and free herself from her past. No one knows her secrets, not even her best friend.
She wasn’t ready for love, not just yet. At least that’s what she kept telling herself. Deep down she yearned for it, even burned for it. But every time she lets herself fall, it fails miserably. She isn’t going to let that happen, not this time. She will find herself first.
All of her plans are thrown out the window the day she runs into Stephen. His smile captures her and no matter how much she fights it, she can’t deny the pull in her heart. Can Stephen help her chase away the past? Can she keep her secrets and her monsters at bay long enough to give love a chance again?
Are you ready for some samples? Those are next. Keep reading on!
It is such a pleasure meeting you all! I hope to see some new friends on my Facebook page as well as my Book Bub account where you can get updates when I publish my next books!
Suspense
Drawing in a breath, I turned the corner at the intersection I had mapped in my head earlier. Really, this was a new beginning for me. I wasn’t lying about that.
But find my prince charming? Now that was a tall order. I didn’t want the perfect man. I wanted a stable, caring man who knew he was no longer a teenager. I wanted a man who could see the value in me and chase my nightmares away.
I just wanted to feel safe in a man’s arms, to trust him so completely that I lost myself and my past in him. I wanted to be happy. Didn’t I deserve it? Hadn’t I suffered enough?
A sound behind me shook me out of my thoughts and I turned around quickly, my hands on the mace key chain in my pocket. I never went anywhere without it, even when I went running.
There was nothing there, an empty stretch of street behind me.
“You’re being ridiculous,” I said to myself, scolding myself for even reaching for the mace. There was no one that was going to get me. I was safe here, safe.
I forced my feet to move and soldiered on down the sidewalk, shaking off the goosebumps that had scattered across my skin. My heart pounded against my chest wall, my steps a bit quicker. One more turn and I would be home free.
As I rounded the next corner, a solid wall of muscle smacked against me.
“Well,” Stephen said as we walked out of the alley, our hands linked together. “They will never forget us.”
I giggled, my face still flushed from the exertion. “Maybe they will hire us out. I think we made a good impression.”
He drew me closer, until our arms brushed each other as we walked back to my building. “I think we make a good team Becky.”
“Me too,” I murmured. Never would I have done the things tonight we had done in public, but Stephen had this way about him that made me want to join in. It wasn’t just mindless silliness we had gotten into, but a genuine good time.
“Well,” Stephen said turning me toward him. “Here we are.”
I looked up at the building, surprised and a bit disappointed that we are already here. “I-I really enjoyed myself tonight.”
“Even if the original was a bust?” he inquired.
I nodded. “Even so.”
He reached up and brushed a strand of hair away from my face, stealing my breath as he did so.
“I will look at the schedule. I still want to take you dancing.”
“Okay,” I said breathlessly, looking into his eyes. A night in his arms surely had to be something special. “Sounds like a plan.”
“Good,” he said, his hand drifting down my cheek.
I closed my eyes against the softness of his touch, my entire body shivering from the inside out. Oh, how easy it would be to invite him up to my apartment, to bask in his soft touch all night long. But I knew regret would be between us in the morning, regret that we rushed something special and I didn’t want that to happen.
I was determined to take this slow, even if it killed me.
“May I kiss you Becky?” he asked softly, his eyes searching mine.
My breath halted at his tender expression, his simple question.
Oh my god, was he really asking me? I had never had a guy ask me if they could kiss me. “I.”
“Too soon,” he said, stepping back. “I understand.”
“N-no,” I answered, closing the gap between us. “It’s not too soon.”
His expression changed, and his hands slid up my arms, leaving goosebumps in their wake. I shivered under his touch and closed my eyes in anticipation, my lips parted softly. I wanted him to kiss me. His lips were soft on mine, so light that I could barely feel them. Even so, my body reacted anyway, the flush spreading from the roots of my hair to my toes.
I felt wonderful— I felt alive.
When Stephen deepened the kiss, I fell headlong into that hole of emotions, allowing myself to be carried away by his kiss.

'ETERNAL LOVE BITES' by bestselling author P.T. Macias!
Blush's Prince Sample by author P.T. Macias All Copyrights Reserved 2018 P.T.Macias Fierce Northern teleports onto the front entrance of the Wolff Dynasty Estate, in front of the massive stained wooden doors.
He looks at his side as Prince Connor Dracostar teleports right next to him. He frowns at him and he waves his hand around to insulate them from the world in a clear shield. “Connor, I don’t know if it’s going to work. I don’t want you to force Princess Josephine Draco. Don’t expect her to fall into your arms.” Fierce raises one eyebrow, glaring at him.
Connor slides his right-hand fingers through his black hair, closing his beautiful turquoise eyes.
Hell, this is my only opportunity to make her fall in love with me. I had to beg Fierce to convince the Draco Royal Council to give me a few cycle segments to court Princess Josephine here on earth realm.
Fierce moves and crosses his arms waiting for him. “Are you ready?”
Prince Connor opens his beautiful turquoise eyes nodding. “Yes Sir, I’m ready. I would like to ask you to please introduce me as Dominic, my second name. I don’t want her to be on the defense. I would like to have the opportunity to court Princess Josephine because I need to claim my dragonette.”
Fierce nods, grins at him. “Wow, that’s a great idea and it might work. So, Dominic is your second name?”
Connor grins nodding. “Yeah, Dominic, but nobody really uses it, but it’s engraved on my birth stone at the palace.”
Fierce nods, he turns to look out into the woods. He rubs his chin with his right hand. He turns to look at Connor.
“I would suggest that you don’t address her so formally. She’s called Blush on the team and maybe it would give you the opportunity to talk to her.”
Every 7th generation the 7th son of Lucifer has a chance at redemption. Jagger Luis Banes is that 7th son, but he has no intention of renouncing his devilish ways until he sets eyes on young Neon Kravitz in the Paradise Club one night.
Jagger will find that he might have control over his band, but not his heart;
Neon will discover that you can’t outrun the DEVIL once you’re in his sights!
Chapter One: Flasher
Copyright by p.mattern 2018 all Rights Reserved
It was a slow night in Paradise, but Jagger didn’t care. He loved making music, and whether there was a large audience on hand to appreciate it or not was beside the point. He loved being onstage with his eclectic band which included two fallen angels and a human.
He was the lead singer, and he was insanely good at it. His range stupefied even the most discerning and hard core rockers, and he composed nearly all the songs.
Having the name he had didn’t hurt either. He had been named after a client that his own father had bequeathed an extra long life and a mega helping of luck to that happened to be the lead singer for Diabolus’ favorite all time rock band.
In truth the band had been around for centuries and was still going strong in their 50th year, more popular than ever.
The first time he noticed Neon he was on stage, in the middle of a set. There were quite a few couples doing their thing on the dance floor, alternately jumping wildly or grinding against each other in an attempt to mimic a horizontal act in a vertical manner, and suddenly time seemed to slow down a fraction of a second, and the sea of bodies parted, and he saw her.
Dr. Rayne Davis is dedicated to her patients and Packmates, the only thing missing from this Wolf's life is someone to share it with. That’s all about to change when she takes off for a weekend getaway and finds herself at the door of the one man who'd caught her attention, but managed to get away, Cael Evangelos.
His Winter Mate
Claire Freemont finds herself stuck with the one man she’d rather avoid, Mike Bellamy. He lost his wife and unborn child years ago, but his heart still bears the scar. If only she could stop her attraction to the taciturn bar owner! When a severe winter storm shuts down the local roads and highways Claire is left stranded!
Will Mike turn her out into the cold or will things heat up?
Home For The Howlidays
Cassie DeMarco is headed back home after failing to hit it big in the city. Her humiliation triples when her well-meaning stepmom signs her up to attend the “Singles in Maccon City Annual Holiday Ball” to find that special someone to share the season with.
Dr. David Evangelos made ER Chief at just thirty-four years old. He has money, a house on the beach, a sports car that he loves, and a promising future in Maccon City. But there is one thing he’s missing, a mate to share it with!
Mistletoe and magic conspire to bring these two together in this steamy holiday short!
Sample of His Winter Mate
CHAPTER 1 All Copyrights Reserved 2018 CD Gorri
“What do you mean, engaged? To who?”
“I didn’t say we were engaged, I said we were thinking about it! And I met him online. A new dating app,” Claire answered her friend, Winifred Falk, formerly Castillo, between bites of her salmon avocado roll.
She loved sushi. The friends had agreed to meet at the new Asian fusion restaurant on Main Street in Maccon City, NJ. Roll Over, was small and clean, and the food was great.
Claire took a sip from her mango-passion bubble tea and sighed. She knew she’d have to answer more questions, but she shook her head before Fred could start in on her. Her happily married friend was also a Werewolf, and she could almost hear her questions before she voiced them.
“The app was designed by Graves Enterprises. You have heard of our very own Wolf Guard, Randall Graves, and his software development company?”
“Of course!” Fred agreed. The Macconwood Pack was the most powerful Wolf Pack in the Western hemisphere and the most technologically advanced. The thanks for that went mostly to one of the Alpha’s Wolf Guard, Randall Graves. He was an absolute genius.
“He’s married now, right?” Fred asked.
“Yes, his wife is a very nice woman, Tulla is her name. I met them at an event for Lane Liquors a few months ago.”
“How is your job by the way?”
“Well, we’ve got the next product in our Seasons line, Winter Bite, all ready for its debut. Thank God, I am not the liasion between Lane Liquors and The Thirsty Dog anymore. I happily relinquished that job to David, Mr. Lane’s assistant.”
“Oh yeah, how’s he working out.”
“He’s still new, but getting there.”
“Alright Claire, spill, who is this guy?”
“He’s a Wolf too, new to the Pack. He comes from Russia. His name is Igor. Anyway, he’s looking for a wife to-”
“You are not marrying someone for a green card are you?”
Fallon kept life easy because all that mattered was to protect her family as pack leader. Love for a mate only creates heartache, something she’s had to live with since Gavin left the pack.
Gavin knew his life was complicated being an alpha and didn’t want to make things worse by claiming a mate of his own. As far as he was concerned only one woman had his heart and his pack left hers long ago.
When a civil war ensues between the packs Fallon comes face to face with Gavin and has to decide between her love for him and the love of her pack.

CHAPTER 2
Fallon She tried to focus her mind on breathing in and out. It was the only thing that kept her from falling apart since Gavin left the pack. She shouldn’t miss him this much since it’s the one-year anniversary of his leaving. Fallon thought she could avoid the pain today of all days since her father, Rogan was performing the ceremony for her to become pack leader.
This sort of thing was an honor bestowed to the first-born male of the family but she was his only pup. And since Rogan was nearing 250 years of age he wanted the pack to be lead by her, the younger generation. They had fresh eyes when it came to dealing with the apposing packs and this would prove beneficial in the civil war. Many werewolves found it hard to play nicely with the other packs. Being an alpha lead to certain airs and sometimes those airs were tested.
Rogan, who was one of the more timid alpha elders was finding his age to be detrimental towards the new thoughts of these younger wolves and decided that his daughter should take the lead now that she had just turned 20.
Fallon looked into her bathroom mirror and mouthed the words you can do this before she put on her bones. It was a simple gesture and an heirloom from her great grandmother who took the trek from Ireland to the US long ago.
The heirloom had power and Fallon often tapped into it when she needed the strength that only her ancestors could provide but she wished she didn’t have to rely so much on the power that exuded from them.
