After
twelve years, their attraction still sizzles and this time, Rob's not letting
Emma get away. As the cameras roll, Emma's new career and Rob's quest for glory
are in the spotlight. When the heat is on, they'll need all the support they

Exclusive Excerpt
"Seven AM looks good on you," Rob
remarked when he sat down in the stylist chair next to Emma.
"Thanks," Emma snorted. She wore a
hoodie with her favorite pair of worn jeans and a purple tee shirt with Bazinga
printed across the front. With little sleep and even less time, she threw her
hair up into a messy bun. Along with her black framed glasses, she seemed more
like a nerdy teenager than a sophisticated reality star.
“I just wanted to say sorry about the
question the other night. I really wasn’t meaning to stir anything up with Big
Bobby. Bill is a good friend and I have a lot of respect for him.” Emma gave
the entire speech while playing with her hoodie strings and avoiding eye
contact with everyone in the room.
“You know Bill?” Rob asked.
“Um, yeah.” She glanced up to see the
confusion on Rob’s face. “He owns a gym in LA. I’ve been training there for
about five years.”
“So, Harry really wasn’t kidding when he said
you have skills in the ring?”
“Bill seems to think I’m pretty good. I just
do it for me mostly. It’s hard enough going into the ring in a skirt and heels.
I don’t think I could do it in the scraps of material the Bombshells do.”
They both turned when the door opened and saw
their photographer, Gwen, approaching.
Rob leaned in close enough to whisper. “We
will talk about this later.”
"You two ready to do this?" Gwen
asked when she approached them.
Emma leaned in to check herself out in the
mirror. "Might take a couple of hours and several layers of makeup. Hope
you cleared your schedule."
Gwen laughed along with Rob. "Don't
worry. Angela has everything she needs to get you together. Tom is getting your
suit, Rob. Make yourselves comfortable." Gwen patted both of their
shoulders and left to set up her equipment for the photo shoot.
"I need coffee to get comfortable,"
Emma moaned while she rubbed her temples.
"Lucky for you, I picked some up on my
way over." Rob held out a large to go cup of coffee to her.
She turned and accepted the drink with a smile.
"Thanks."
One sip of the warm, rich liquid calmed her
nerves.
"Ahhhh. I didn't drink any this morning.
I could kiss you for this."
"I wouldn't be opposed to kissing you.
I’d kiss you even with coffee breath."
She turned to Rob and took in his smile with
his dimpled, unshaven cheeks. Beyond him, she saw the camera lens. The early
hour and his alluring blue eyes made her forget millions of people would
eventually see their exchange.
"Not today, big boy." She attempted
to laugh it off.
"That's not never." He winked at
her.
I’m so screwed.

Excerpt
from Under a Mating Moon by Celia Breslin:
A billion butterflies battered Lexi's stomach. She
shifted her attention from Ross to the piano. Sure enough, the music had
stopped, and Jake faced her from his seat on the bench. Man oh man, the heavy
stare from those sky blue eyes sent shivers skittering down her spine. His gaze
held the same intensity she remembered from him as a kid, as if he saw into the
heart of people, exposing their deepest secrets. It drove her crazy back then,
and she'd spent much time teasing him, pulling his hair, trying to distract him
from being so serious all of the damn time. They were teenagers—partying was
supposed to be their sole focus.
With his ice blue stare locked on her, Jake rose to his
feet, all taut muscle and predatory power. His energy swept over her like a
tsunami, forcing all of the moisture to abandon her mouth while parts much
lower wept with want. Her inner Wolf howled, answering the call of this Alpha,
the first Dominant male ever to make her sit up and take notice. Holy crap. Her
muscles shook with the need to bound over to him, jump in his arms, wrap her
legs around his torso and writhe against his hard, hot, tattooed body.
Jake said something to his uncle then stalked straight at
her, cutting a path right through the middle of the tables and the many,
too-curious patrons.
A whimper escaped her throat.
Surprise sparked in her brother’s brown eyes.
"You're kidding me. Him?" He burst out laughing. "Wow, sis,
that's some major, big time irony right there."
Darci’s expression conveyed her bewilderment. "Now
what are you two talking about?"
Her annoying brother grinned. "See that angry Alpha
headed our way? My sister here rejected
him when they were teens and he's apparently her—"
Lexi socked her brother in the ribs. "Shut it,
Ross."
"Ouch." Ross rubbed his side and chuckled at
her plight. The jerk.
"Come on, Lexi, you have to admit the hilarity of
the situation."
No, she did not. Nor did she have to admit that J-Bird
was right all those years ago. He was her mate. O to the M to the G... They
were mates.
Even so, he didn't look happy to see her at all. In fact,
he looked positively enraged. Shit, shit and triple shit. What a mess she'd
made eight years ago. Well, she was woman enough to pull on her big girl panties
and fix it. She straightened her spine and lifted her chin in challenge,
meeting Jake's stormy stare. He halted before her.
I can do this. "Hey J-Bird. Nice to see you."
Lovely. Her voice sounded like she'd eaten the gravel from the lot in front of
Gee's bar. Embarrassment heated her cheeks.
One breath, two breaths, three... J-Bird glared. Tension
coiled between them in the silence. Lexi bit the inside of her cheek to avoid
babbling at him. She'd said hello. It was his turn. Damn it, J-Bird, say
something. He wasn't making this easy.
"Alexina."
His arctic tone dismissed her and slapped her in the face at the same
time, leaving her disappointed and confused. No one called her by her full
name. No one except her parents when she'd done something wrong as a kid. He
might as well have said, "screw you," while slamming a door in her
face.
His focus shifted to her brother. "Hello, Ross. Been
a while." His hand shot out to grasp her brother's in a cordial shake.
"Good to see you, Jake. Join us for lunch? My treat.
We can catch up on old times."
"No, thank you. I'm done. Nice to see you again,
Ross." Jake nodded at Darci. "Miss." He brushed past them and
out the door.
"What. Just. Happened?" The, “I'm done,” he
uttered in his delicious British accent seemed aimed more at her than at her
brother's offer. And the fact he hadn't even looked at her before stalking out
all sexy in his gloom and doom? Yeah, that hurt.
"I think you know, sis." The amusement left her
brother's face and sympathy glimmered in his gaze. "Question is, what are
you going to do about it?"
She'd never run from a fight in her life. She wouldn't
start now. "Grab a table. I'll be back in a second. Or not." She
ignored her brother's knowing grin and hurried out the door.
