Synopsis
MF/MFM/ Paranormal Shifter/ Erotic Romance
“So you think
you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf? Think
again—”
Raina grew up with the faint memories of her grandmother’s
fairytales. Tales that told her she was a part of something far greater than
her lonely nomadic life gave existence to. But, when she finds she’s been among
the one thing she desired most, can she let go of her more human-raising to
submit to it?
Tristan has had a wild hunger for the saucy minx ever since
she started working at the Hell hound Tavern. When a close call with a rival
pack meant risking exposing the beast he was to Raina, he wasn’t expecting her
to submit to the beast as his mate. As the Beta to the pack Alpha, Tristan
can’t keep a mate to himself, but the secret she holds says otherwise.
However, keeping a Lycaon Concubine might mean leaving the
pack in order to protect his Alpha, who’s status has kept a pack, 500 strong,
safe for generations.

Interview Questions:
1.
Where did
the idea come from for the book?
Not a clue what sparked us on this one. Bond of
the Lycaon Concubine literally started with the bar scene at the beginning,
with having no other ideas at the time other than wanting a Lycaon story. The
second scene we wrote out was the kiss at the fountain. It wasn’t until we
created the shimmer under Raina’s arm band that we finally realized there was
going to be a twist in it.
2.
What
genre does your book fall under?
MF/MFM/ Paranormal Shifter/ Erotic
Romance
3.
Which
actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Wow, we had a hard enough time finding models to
match what was in our heads, L Uhm… Billy Wirth (younger years} would make a
great Tristan, a long haired Brad Pitt for Vashon and Raina is a toughy, So
We’d have to say Jennifer Lawrence with a splash of Keira Knightley
4.
What is
the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
“So you think you know
the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf? Think again—”
5.
Will your
book be self-published or represented by an agency?
We are Proud Indy Authors, so yes, Bond of the
Lycaon Concubine has been self-published
6.
How long
did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Since we work on a number of different books all
at once, it’s hard to give an accurate time period. But we worked on if over
the span of one year, {not consistently, it sat when it was about 70% complete
for a while}, when we got stumped over a few scenes that just weren’t flowing
well in the story, and it wasn’t until we agreed to cut a scene that everything
finally fit. Stories are funny that way.
7.
What
other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
For us, it was
kinda like developing the non gothic Underworld of Lycaons. Book wise:
somewhere between Madelaine Montague and Aline Hunter’s Alpha and Omega. And
while I haven’t read them, one reader drew parallels with Sherrilyn Kenyon's
WereHunters and early Anita Blakes by Laurell K Hamilton
:
8.
Who or
What inspired you to write this book?
We both love paranormal and sci-fi. There are
absolutely no limitations of where a story can go. The trick is making the
reader believe it’s actually happening. We’d read a number of books with
shifters, some awesome some not so much, and we just decided it was time to put
our version out in the world.
9.
What else
about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
That sometimes you have to stop looking at things
like a human in order to give in to thing that you want to be seduced by.
Oh and you are not going to believe the twists
that comes later in the second book

EXCERPT ONE:
“Got
a penny?” Raina asked pointing to the fountain ahead of them.
Tristan
gave her a skeptical glance, while he fished through his pocket for a penny,
“You really want to make a wish?”
“Oh,
yeah.” She gave him a daringly sultry look, “I’m thinking I do.”
Tristan
blinked heavily at her, taking notice of her dark expression and tone. He
passed the penny to her hand, “Okay, but so’s
you know, you're scaring me.”
Raina
stepped up to the fountain and closed her eyes for a moment.
Tristan
watched the almost dreamy expression on her face. Damn, she looked good under
the moon. He’d been falling for her for some time now, but watching her now, he
believed he was helplessly captured.
Her
hand went up, tossing the coin into the water with a slight plunk sound. She watched the ripple
spread out on the water’s surface a moment taking a deep and fitful breath
before turning to face him. Seemingly waiting for something.
“So
what did you wish for?”
Raina
rolled her lips in a nervous gesture, stepping closer, “A kiss.” And she pushed
up on her toes, bringing her lips to his.
The
first touch was light as a feather, like the kiss of a ghost and he found
himself haunted by his wanting of it. He leaned down to her, cautiously
allowing the contact of her soft lips. Soft and tender as she pressed against
his and he felt a tender warmth flow through him.
Her
lips parted, but only enough to allow him a taste of her breath— like the morning dew
she was, and it was gone. His breath caught in his throat watching her step
back. His head swayed, surprising him. No way a single kiss should feel so
sensual, but it did. His breath deepening, his hand fumbling through his
pockets and procured a handful of coins, which he held them out to her with a
boyish grin.
Raina
laughed, she wasn’t fooled by that look. For all his intentions of looking
innocent just made him look all the more like a sexy bad boy. He reminded her
of one the actors from that old 80’s movie, Lost
Boys, the vampire bad boy with long black hair and just as drool worthy. Or
perhaps, maybe more, because Tristan had one hell of a body hiding under his
shirt.
“I
think I got a fifty in my wallet. Will paper money work in the fountain as
well?” He joked, then again, he’d offer damn near anything to feel that kiss again.
“Gee,
I don’t know.” She toed the ground in front of her, “I mean, I’m concerned I
might be hurting someone else’s feelings if I accept.”
“What
do you mean?” This wasn’t good. Why would she dare to kiss him if she was
involved with someone else? But that didn’t make any sense either; he’d worked
with her enough days of the week to know she didn’t have a boyfriend or lover
of any sort. He’d watched her too often to not know.
“Well,
there’s this barback I work with and he’s pretty hot, except he wears these
crazy—”
Tristan’s
mouth was over hers before she could finish her sentence. The coins in his hand
spilling to the ground around their feet as he reached around to her back to
pull her to him.
His
tongue parting her lips to open up for him, letting him into the warm cavern of
her mouth. The taste of hot, sweet honey awaited him, drew him to probe deeper,
his tongue tangling with hers. He had often fantasized what it would feel like
to kiss her, to taste her, but he had not dreamed it would be like this. From
the moment his lips took hers, he was lost in her. Pleasure spiraled around his
nerves, hunger wrapping around him, it emanated from her and licked his body
with burning flames.
God, her kiss was good. And he needed to have more of it.
He
stepped into her, forcing her to walk back, pushing her towards the garden wall
that circled around the fountain, his hands moving around to grasp her hips and
lifted her up on the wall. He pressed between her legs and she broke away from
his kiss, gasping with ragged breaths that fought for air. His own lungs
heaving in his chest. He was already regretting the loss of her lips. A firm
hand clasping around behind her neck to pull her back to him, connecting with
her, pressing his forehead to hers. He would give her only a moment longer— a flicker of time to
catch her breath.
“So
how many coins was that, you had?” She managed to ask through her panting.
“Oh
hell, I got a whole jar full at home I plan to use up.” He pulled her back to
him. If she had regained her breath enough to talk, then she could take his
kiss again.
