Bait This! An Exclusive Excerpt (Post 2)

1/23/2016

113 Comments

 
Picture
Great news for those of you who are waiting for Bait This!, the first in the 300 Moons series of standalone PNR  romance novels I'll be releasing this year...

Bait This! is almost ready for you!

I've been thinking about the 300 Moons series for a long time.

When I finally holed myself up to write the first book, the characters and plot absolutely exploded, and it all flew out faster than expected!  
I can't wait to share Bait This! with you - and if the editing and proofreading phases go as planned, the book will be ready for you before Valentine's Day!

To celebrate, I thought I'd share an excerpt with you! Here's the set-up:


​Derek Harkness is a billionaire who plays by his own set of rules. By repressing his inner bear, Derek keeps every aspect of his life under his iron control.

​Hedda Lane is a strong, independent woman, but a single mistake in her past has put her whole life on hold. 

This scene begins with Derek worried about how Hedda will react when she discovers that he is a shifter...

Bait This! (Excerpt):
​
Derek couldn’t distract her.

She was going to see that he had already healed, impossibly quickly.
It was already too late, she was up on her knees, her hands reaching for his hair.

He would have to submit.

She was close enough that he could hear her heartbeat, scent the sweetness of her. The bear moaned, but Derek held him in with all he had, the mark burning his hip like a hot coal beneath his skin, his whole body teeming with energy that he held in by a thread.

He moved fully into the shelter, hunkering down to her level, and the feeling eased a bit.

Whatever was going on with him, it seemed to be worse in the moonlight.
He stilled as her fingers touched his hair.

Her hands were so gentle. It could have been her feather touch, but he felt a light prickle of electricity between them.

“It’s fine,” she breathed at last, sitting back on her heels.

He was drawn between the agony of aching for her touch and the relief of having passed the test of having her touch him without incident.

Her silence roused him.

He didn’t know what to say. He had been found out.

“You’re one of them, then,” she said.

“What do you mean?” he asked, not turning, afraid to look her in the eye.

“You’re a wolf,” she said.

The bear tossed his snout in the air indignantly at being confused with a canine. Darcy would have howled with laughter at the thought.

Derek turned to examine the woman’s expression.

She stared back at him, her green eyes clear and frank.

She knew about shifters.

He had never told a human he was a shifter before. But this was a different situation than he’d ever been in.
​
He considered his options and made a calculated decision within the time it took to blink.

He nodded and made a noncommittal grunt.

Willing to admit to being a shifter, but not exactly wanting to tell her he was a bear.

The way Derek saw it, women fantasized about guys who turned into wolves, he’d seen it in those sparkly vampire movies.

But most people were white-knuckled in terror at the grainy internet home videos of lumbering bears running rampant. They were forever vandalizing suburban backyards and killing deer, never standing confidently on the edge of a cliff or something, giving a poignant howl.
If you were going to be a shifter, the writing was on the wall. Wolves were the sexy, sympathetic kings.

And bears were… well, bumbling and brutish.

Hedda nodded matter-of-factly at his admission, not seeming to question his status as a wolf.

“I knew you were a shifter,” she said.

He let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. “How did you know?”

“The town where I used to live was all shifters - wolves,” she said.

“Not you,” he corrected her.

“You’re right, not me,” she smiled.

“But the whole town was shifters?” he asked.

She nodded again.

Derek thought about that.

“You grew up around people, I take it,” she said.

“Yeah. Well… not exactly, but yes,” he replied.

“Family of shifters, but out in the human world,” she nodded.

“Nope, I don’t know anything about my shifter family. I grew up in a home for shifters who were… early bloomers. We lived in a mostly human town,” he told her.

“Like an orphanage?” she asked.

Derek shifted uncomfortably. He didn’t like anyone talking about Harkness Farms like that. And he certainly did not consider himself an orphan. He had a mom. That she hadn’t given birth to him, and that she had twenty-six or so other kids didn’t change how he felt. Kate Harkness was his mom, plain and simple.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you talk about something uncomfortable,” she looked down, chastened.

“No, it’s not that at all,” he told her. “As a matter of fact, that’s where I was headed before the plane crash - back home.”

“So you still visit?” she asked, her head tilted slightly, dark hair slipping forward again.

He smiled.

“Oh yeah, I go back every year, more often if Mom needs me. Though she’s pretty self-sufficient.”

“She’s older?” Hedda asked sympathetically.

Derek threw his head back and laughed.

“Maybe, but you’d never know it. She runs a farm, the kids help her. But if she’s got too many new kids and not enough older ones then harvest-time can get difficult. We get a lot of tourists from Halloween to Thanksgiving,” he explained. “I like being back there though, the farm will always be home. And the little guys are hysterical.”

“Wow,” she said. “You’re right, that’s not what I pictured.”

He shrugged.

“So if you’re not a shifter, what were you doing out in the middle of nowhere before a storm? It seems like we’re pretty far from civilization.”

Suddenly, her heart-shaped face went pale and she looked away from him, into the fire.

“It’s a long story. But basically my sisters and I were living here to protect the town on the other side of this mountain.”

“What town?” he asked. Hadn’t they just come from over there? Was she leading him purposely away from town after all?

“There is no town anymore,” she said to the crackling fire, her voice steady but her shoulder drooping.

Derek stared at her, thunderstruck.

He took a deep breath through his nose.

There it was.

The other scent that had been bothering him all night. Fire. But different than the smoke from the plane. Had the town burned down somehow?

Was he smelling the remains?

The bear in his head prodded him unsubtly to think of how to help the woman.

Derek studied her small form. This human and her sisters were supposed to protect a mountain of wolves? That didn’t make sense. And now the town was gone. Something had gone very wrong. But he didn’t want to ask the wrong question.

“Where are your sisters?”

It seemed a good place to start.

She looked down at the blanket, trailing her fingers over the frayed edge.
“I messed up. I messed up so badly,” she shook her head. “The whole town was uprooted, the coal mine is still burning. Everyone left.”

That explained the smell. He remembered reading about the the cave-in and the failed rescue effort that set the mine ablaze. He had no idea the mine was still burning.

“They left you?” Derek asked incredulously. He couldn’t imagine turning his back on any of his brothers or sisters.

“Someone had to stay…” she trailed off.

He looked up at her again and was surprised to find her usually steadfast expression had folded into a mask of sadness. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

All his concerns and calculations went out the window, and Derek Harkness pulled the woman into his arms and held her close.

As soon as she was against his chest, he heard her heartbeat thrumming. She smelled like a wood fire, and chamomile tea. She was warm in his arms, and so soft.

Derek thought suddenly of his childhood blankie - a feather filled duvet of monstrous proportion that he had taken a liking to. Mom had cut it down and sewed it into manageable squares for little Derek to snuggle and carry around the farm.

The train of thought was gone as fleetingly as it hard arrived when she wound her arms around his neck and nuzzled into his chest.

Derek’s hip burned like it was on fire.

And her nearness took on a new meaning.

Her breasts were crushed against his chest, his hands tightened on the curve of her hip.

The air was suddenly charged with energy.

Did she feel it too?

He reached out with his senses and the bear roared with approval in his chest.

The woman’s breath was shallow and faster than before. A haze of desire haloed her. The small room was filled with the enchanting scent of her arousal.

Derek felt himself harden to the point of pain.

She wiggled on his lap, seemingly to find a more comfortable position.
​
But to Derek, it felt as if her every move was meant only to tantalize him.

I don't think you have to know someone a certain length of time, but instead until you feel like you can trust them.

Ooh I like! For me, it can take quite awhile to share or confide in someone... I tend to keep things to myself and have been burned before when sharing something important...

I'm so glad you like it!! I'm with you, I tend to be a vault when it comes to the important stuff! :) That was part of the thrill of writing this book - setting up a situation where two reserved people with almost nothing in common that is visible at first glance, have to learn to trust each other enough in a short time to get through a catastrophe. Insanity, right?

That's so true, Christina, sometimes you meet someone and you feel comfortable almost immediately. Other times you can tell from the first impression that you would never trust that person. We are creatures of instinct. :)

Oops forgot to answer the question you got me all excited Lol! For myself It takes me awhile, I been burned so much that I would need to know the person awhile before secrets come out. I'd wait until they shared with me first that way I would have something in the bond and if said person told my secrets well I'd have something to use back ugh sounds terrible Lol. But its just really hard knowing who you can trust at times , and scary too..

I don't usually spill secrets unless I've known someone for over at least a year. There have been a couple of times however, that a sharing of personal information felt right and it was an exchange not just me spilling.

Its all about instincts. Your gut will let you know when you can trust someone and it will also tell you when you have to trust someone enough to let them. Sharing your secrets can lead to others sharing with you and creating an unbreakable bond that lasts lifetimes.

I'm new, sort of, to this genre and to you, Tasha. My limited experience with werewolves includes the Lon Chaney Jr classics (they are, and always will be, awesome), a little taste of a Ginger Snaps movie, and, like the rest of most of the world, Twilight. There was one book, title lost in the clutter of my mind -- but I really liked it -- with a girl, some shapeshifters, and a rather sexy undertone. Haven't come across anything that appealed to me like that lost title till I read your excerpt where I found myself immediately drawn in by the possibilities. To coin a phrase, this could be the beginning of a beautiful consanguinity. Looking forward to hearing that Bait This is available.
As for your question about secrets...Identifying who and when is a matter of heart and soul that is ruled by no calendar or clock. That moment, that realization, has happened very rarely in my life.

Maddy, you have such a way with words! I wish I knew the title you meant, but there are so very many books in this genre now, it's hard to pick one out of the crowd without a character name. I'm smiling thinking about how much the wolf/man trope has evolved when we start by looking at Lon Chaney, Jr! And yes, I read and loved the Twilight books, too! :) Well, I hope you enjoy "Bait This!" when it comes out. :)

Sometimes you meet someone who you instinctively can trust and other times you will never feel comfortable trusting a person. I'm quite intuitive but, sad to say for this sixty one year old, I haven't got many earth shattering secrets to share!!!

I enjoyed reading it and look forward to reading more. Social Penetration Theory (yes it would have the P word in it) uses something called the Onion Metaphor (picture from Wikipedia here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Onion_Metaphor_-_Social_Penetration_Theory.png) It's all about how much information you share and openness etc. The more you share the more comfortable the other person is with you, and the more you receive (roughly). In management training you are told to share a bit of personal information to make your staff feel more comfortable and see you as a bit more human. You should then get some back which helps you to understand them better and hopefully manage them better. As you know someone more, you can share more, which fits in with them both keeping information back.

That's a hard one as telling a complete stranger your secrets sometimes is one of the easiest things to do.

Can not wait to read the whole book...nice teaser. For me to tell a secret I have to feel that I can fully trust that person. Sometimes I like to test them before I give away the true secret.

Some exchange is necessary if things are to move forward. It should be done when or feels right. Some sooner than others.

I wouldn't have to know someone for very long to know if I could trust them with a secret. I feel I am a pretty good of character and can read people pretty well. I watch the body language and their eyes. also listen to their tone of voice if it changes then it is not someone I would trust my most trusted secret with. I could probably give a little of myself in the beginning to see how they react. I would then go from there if I was going to fully trust them

You can know a person forever and learn they can't be trusted. Or meet someone new and know instinctively { gut feeling } that they will keep it to themselves forever. The Book sounds great, but then so are all the ones I have read. I can't wait for this one. God bless you and your writing

Just got done reading the excerpt. WOW. This definitely is on my to read list. It sounds wonderful. As for me I have to know and trust someone first before telling one of my deep dark secrets, because it is a critical part of who I am and why I am the way I am. Thanks can't wait to read Bait This.

Forgot to answer the question lol..I remain tight lipped when it comes to my secrets. Just because I have been burnt before..but their are those special cases where it happens and it turns out to be a really good thing..So for me it depends on the person I guess if that makes any sense lol.

I really can't wait for this one to come out, as to decide when to trust or not to trust, I think you have to go with your enter gut feeling... most of the time, it leads you in the right direction, exspecialty in matter of the heart..... again... I would say 99% of the time.... you have to trust yourself..!!! I get as many of your books as I can afford, you are a wonderful author, thanks for the many hours of pleasure you have provided for me......

I feel like this book is going to be very deep as far as the secrets coming out. It sounds like it's going to be an awesome read.
As for me I keep to my personal feelings, problems and secrets to my self as well as I can. I have been hurt by the people that I trusted the most but everyone thinks I'm there shrink. Loll. They tell me everything like they have known me a life time sometimes it's very surprising how deep someone you hardly know will go into there personal tragedies and other things you would never tell someone unless you trusted them with your whole heart. Good thing I know that other people's problems are Thiers and if they are to be shared it's not my place..... I do think that you tend to get alot closer to some people more than others very quickly. When you meet someone like that they usually tend to end up friends for life, if your lucky!

I think it's actually easier to tell strangers something deep. Most of the time you're never going to see them again. When I met my significant other I told him things I've never told anyone else the first day we met. I think part of us can sense the trustworthiness and compassion in people. On the other hand I went to pre-order the book and all I could say was noooooooo when I saw March 24th I got so excited reading on here I don't know how I'm going to make it.

Book excerpt sounds really good. And I'm going to look into adding this book to my collection of reading. As far as secrets go I'd have to say it's not the amount of time it's more on how you feel towards the person and how much you trust them. They're are people you know for years but you never fully trust them and then there are others and after a few months you trust them so there's no time limit. And then there are time you open up to a complete stranger just cause you want to get everything off your chest. So no wouldn't say there's a time limit just how you feel.

The excerpt is great, and I'm excited to read this! Personally, I have trouble trusting people, so I'd have to know someone a long time and feel like I can truly trust them before I tell them any secrets.

As far as secrets, it depends on the person. I've known certain people all my life and don't completely trust them. However, my husband and I met 18 years ago and we instantly connected and I trust him with everything. I can't wait to get this book!

This book is gonna get steamy with these two! And just for a couple of hrs? I dont trust deep secrets until the person has proven themselves to me. I will then trust them ,until they burn me,then im done. I try to give the benifit of doubt to all ,but so many people embellish and then it it gets out of hand.guess thats why i have only a handful i trust completly.
