Styx has a mission. He’s chasing after a woman who’s on the run from a vindictive Alpha. His skills as an assassin will aid him in finding her, and then he can get her somewhere safe. Mira’s intentions have been exposed: she’s a secret supporter of the Alaskan Tigers. Now she has to run for her life. She never thought wanting a better future for shifters would cost her so much. She has lost her clan and her family, but her decisions have brought her someone she wasn’t expecting—her mate. Styx believes he’s undeserving of a mate, and is having difficulty coming to terms with his former life as an assassin. No matter how much he’s done for the Alaskan Tigers, he doesn’t believe his mate would be able to overlook his past. Choices. Life is full of them, and those choices are what bring two mates together. It could also be what tears them apart.Buy Links

Excerpt:
With his long legs stretched out in front of him, Gunnery Sergeant Lucky Diamond sat in front of his Sergeant Major’s desk, unable to believe what he had just heard. He tried to focus his attention on the stack of papers on the corner of the desk, and hide his disapproval from his Sergeant Major because that would only make things worse. If Sergeant Major Dillon Graves knew Lucky didn’t want to do what was at hand, then he’d make damn sure there were more unpleasant duties in the future. Marines followed orders, no matter how nasty they might be.
“It’s customary for you to say something once your Sergeant Major gives you orders, not just sit there like a damn bump on a log.” Dillon clasped his hands on the desk before him and watched Lucky.
“Yes, Sergeant Major.” He wasn’t sure how he managed that without any sarcasm in his voice.
“You’ll do it then?”
Lucky wanted to scream hell no, that he wasn’t going to take part in a military cook-off no matter what it benefited, but his Sergeant Major would have the final say. It was best to keep his mouth closed until he knew what his orders were. “Are my orders to take part in this charity cook-off?”
“Yes.” Dillon leaned back in his chair. “You’re our best chance of winning.”
“Isn’t there something my time could be better spent on? A volunteer deployment? Crash test dummy? Target for shooting practice?”
About Marissa Dobson…
Born and raised in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, Marissa Dobson now resides about an hour from Washington, D.C. She’s a lady who likes to keep busy, and is always busy doing something. With two different college degrees, she believes you are never done learning.
Being the first daughter to an avid reader, this gave her the advantage of learning to read at a young age. Since learning to read she has always had her nose in a book. It wasn’t until she was a teenager that she started writing down the stories she came up with.
Marissa is blessed with a wonderful supportive husband, Thomas. He’s her other half and allows her to stay home and pursue her writing. He puts up with all her quirks and listens to her brainstorm in the middle of the night.
Her writing buddies Cameron (a cocker spaniel) and Dawne (a beagle mix) are always around to listen to her bounce ideas off them. They might not be able to answer, but they are helpful in their own ways.

As I return his gaze, my heart seems to stop
and time slows to a screeching halt. There’s nothing else that he can do to
save me. The only chance I have now is to trust that these researchers in their
government funded laboratories have discovered some miracle drug that might
give me my life back. I lean back into my pillows clutching the black and gold
fleece Purdue blanket my eight year old niece, Shay, made me when my hospital
stays increased to weeks instead of days. Touching the soft fleece helps my
rapid heartbeat slow down and allows my mind to consider the options. I close
my eyes and consider what I have to gain if I could through with the drug
trials. It could help me lead a normal life if it works or it could take away
the quality of life in the time I have left. I know deep down I want to
live and this trial could mean everything in my battle. After what seems like hours,
even though it was only a few minutes in reality, I open my eyes and look for
my parents. They are both sitting in the blue plastic covered recliners in my
room holding each other’s hands with their foreheads pressed together in what I
am assuming is prayer. They hear the plastic move on my hospital bed as I
shift trying to make myself as comfortable as I can with all the tubes coming
out of me and they turn their faces towards me. The look on my mother’s face
tells me that they know I’m about to make the decision that will forever change
our family. A decision that I don’t even think they would have the strength to
make on my behalf. I turn my eyes to Dr. Bob, who is still sitting on the edge
of my bed waiting for my decision. It takes me a few seconds to realize that I
hold the keys to my life in what I’m about to say. As I open my lips the tears
finally begin to flow.
I utter quietly as I wipe away my tears, “I
want to do the trial. Where do I sign?”
Avelyn Paige is a born and raised Indiana girl. She may be a
Hoosier by birth, but she’s a Boilermaker by choice! Avelyn lives in rural
Indiana with her pastor husband, 2 spoiled cats, and one very odd looking
dog. She’s an oncology research
scientist by day and a writer and book review blogger by night. She enjoys
reading anything she can get her hands, baking, and spending time with her
friends and family.
Never intending on ever writing her own book, the idea behind
the Damaged series came to her on a drive to work early one morning thinking
about her father who’d recently passed away. His strength during his cancer and
rare blood disease battle inspired Avelyn to do something she’s never thought
about before. She’s excited to see where this wild ride takes her.

Irish Winters is an award-winning author who dabbles in poetry,
grandchildren, and rarely (as in extremely rarely) the kitchen. More prone to

spent her teenage years in the Pacific Northwest, but calls the Wasatch Mountains
of Northern Utah home. For now.
The wife of one handsome husband and mother of three perfect sons,
Irish divides her time between writing at home, and travelling the country with
her man while – writing. (Seriously, what else?)
She believes in making every day count for something, and follows the
wise admonition of her mother to, “Look out the window and see something!”

He
lingered less than a breath away, letting her scent pull him in.
Desire turned tactile. She lifted onto the balls of her feet. Her
hands moved to the back of his neck, her thumbs against his ears. He
closed the space, tentatively brushing his lips over hers, afraid
where this might lead but wanting desperately to find out.
