Meet Betty Holden Tao #BlogHunt #Alpha'sMate

I’ve got this big problem. I’m being written by Rebecca Royce. She has this thing about difficult, hot heroes who find redemption in the women they love. Hold on, let me start over. My name is Betty Holden Tao. I’m mated to the Alpha of the Black Hills Wolves, Drew. Okay, he’s all kinds of sexy. He’s all kind of troubled. He’s all kind of difficult. And Rebecca just keeps making it worse. Tell me, I mean for real, how much more of this am I going to have to put up with?

He was gone for ten years. He came back, killed his dad, took over the pack, and now we have threats everywhere we look. We never get a night off…and to make matters worse she has this idea I’m strong, protective, and tough which frankly I think sometimes makes me come off as a big giant bitch. Sorry for the word but there it is.

So come on now Rebecca. No more pain. Wait what? We feature in two more books? Oh hell.

One lucky commentator will win a copy of Disquieted Souls by Deena Remiel and The Long Road Home by Chandra Ryan. Be sure to swing by the Heather Long's blog and visit as the hunt continues. We have just two days left so don't miss any stop or your chance to win!

Writing Colt @DecadentPub #BHW

I’ll admit when I started thinking about the Black Hills Wolves, in that now much discussed conference conversation with the amazing Heather Long, I thought only of Drew.  Writing the alpha of a multi-authored wolf pack is no small thing. I wanted him to be everything I imagined. 

And then he was.  Wolf’s Return worked for me.  It was a beautiful, complete book. 

I started to think about the future. Who would my next Black Hills character be? Well, that was when Colt came into existence. He was a difficult character? Why you might ask? Well, because he wanted to kill Drew.  Imagine that. As a writer I had to deal with a character who wanted to kill the hero of one of my most beloved books.

Loving Colt wasn’t easy for me. Yet, I did.  After a time, I came to adore Colt as much as I loved Drew and in some ways more since he had to handle not becoming alpha at the end of his book.  I hope you love my poor misunderstood Colt too.  He just needs to be loved.

When Hell Freezes

Black Hills Wolves Book 6

Rebecca Royce

....Colt Hannigan returns to the Black Hills Wolves Pack a changed and determined wolf. Thrown out after he stood against the former Alpha, he has no love for Drew Tao, the current Alpha. Colt plans to challenge Drew for leadership of the pack—until he lays eyes on Tasha, the woman he thought dead but whom he never forgot.

.... Permanently scarred after stepping between Colt and the former Alpha of the pack, Tasha survived for years by keeping her head down. Colt’s return is everything she’s desired, but she wants to live in a calm world surrounded by love, not another battle for dominance, which could destroy the newly-healed pack.

....Can Tasha convince Colt to find peace in her arms? Will the Black Hills Wolves pack survive outside attacks if they cannot mend the internal injuries of the past?

EXCERPT:

....“I wish I could have killed him. I wish I’d been stronger sooner.” He looked up at the ceiling.

....“Well, I wish I could hop a jet plane and land in sunny Miami with a million dollars. Wishes are really pointless things. Let’s live in reality, shall we? Now, if you don’t want to kiss me, that’s fine. Forget I asked.” Tasha gasped almost as soon as the words were out of her mouth. What was with her? She never spoke to anyone in this manner.

....He yanked her against him. “You want me to kiss you?”

....His mouth pressed on hers, hard and unyielding. Even though she’d never been kissed before, she knew the one he gave her wasn’t meant to tantalize, but more as if he kissed her for punishment. He was mad. She could taste his anger.

....She pushed at his chest, and he deepened their embrace, gentling against her. Tasha knew she should pull away. He hadn’t kissed her nicely. All she could do was sigh against his mouth. He tasted like mint mixed with the smell of cloves, and she wanted to wrap herself around him.

A Note from Rebecca~

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for purchasing this book. It is my latest installment to the Black Hills Wolves series. When I first came up with the idea for this series, I was seated next to author Heather Long at a convention called The Naughty Sleepover. Two years later I cannot believe how amazing it has all turned out. It is a dream come true. I hope you like Colt and Tasha. They needed each other so much. Please feel free to contact me any time at BeccaGrim79@gmail.com or rebecca@rebeccaroyce.com

With Hugs,

Rebecca Royce

Black Hills Wolves: Rebecca Royce Shares How It All Began

I was sitting at a conference called The Naughty Sleepover.  It’s in San Antonio. If you’d ever like to go, it’s now called The Wild Wicked Weekend and I have the best time there every year.  But, this was my first conference after a very bad time spent at one in New York City the year before. 

I wouldn’t have shown up at the Naughty Sleepover but the then owner of Decadent Publishing, Heather Bennett, had told me there was no way I could miss it, considering I now lived in Austin.  So, despite the fact that I was still feeling pretty rough about the move and not at all confident about wanting to go to another conference, I drove the 1.5 hours to San Antonio and checked into the hotel.

I won’t bore you with stories of that whole weekend.  But, it went very well.  And during that time, fellow author Heather Long and I sat down and created the Black Hills Wolves.  It was fortuitous that Decadent Publishing was actually there that night. They were exactly who we wanted to do the project with and they said yes to the idea.

Now here we are. The Black Hills Wolves have arrived….or will be next week. And I just can’t believe it. 

I couldn’t have done this without Laura Garland who edits the series with such love and Lisa Omstead who believed in and has championed it every step of the way.  Also, to the incredible group of authors who said yes.  Thank you ladies.  You kept this secret and now you’re shouting to the wind right next to me.

Truly, amazing.  Drew and I both say Thank You.

EXCERPT:....The rain pounded on the roof of the white center hall colonial, a strong, loud rhythm Drew Tao had come to associate with New Jersey in the early winter. Cold, windy, and gray without any snow to bring beauty to frigid air. But none of that mattered. Not when he could be indoors working. It could be one hundred degrees and sunny. When he was working, he hardly noticed. Finishing his task mattered more than anything else.
....Drew stepped back to survey the entertainment unit he’d spent the last two days building for his client—a couple in their early twenties had commissioned his custom work for their sixty-inch flat-screen television. They would be happy with what he had created. He’d left ample space for every accessory they wanted and some places for the wife to display decorative touches. All oak, as they’d requested.
....He smiled; finishing the piece was a good day’s work, and he took satisfaction in knowing the few useful skills he had in this human world could make others happy. His hands tingled. It was almost time for him to move on. Staying in one place for too long made his wolf-side twitchy. When things started to feel too much like home, he suddenly craved his pack.
....And the spirits knew he’d never have that again.
....The phone in his pocket vibrated, and he ignored it. Several clients were waiting to hear from him about whether or not he’d be able to work for them in the next couple of weeks. Since he needed to move on, the answer would have to be a resounding no. He could wait a few more hours to send his regrets.
....It vibrated again, and he groaned. “Pushy client.” Maybe he’d dodged a proverbial bullet by deciding it was time to go.
....He pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at the message. It wasn’t a number he recognized, but he never stored any names. What was the point? Anyone calling or texting constituted a temporary client who became a temporary acquaintance during his time with them. No one worth remembering—no possibility of friends or family. He’s dying.
....Drew forgot to breathe for a second.


About the Author:....As a teenager, I would hide in my room to read my favorite romance novels when I was supposed to be doing my homework. I hope, these days, that my parents think it was worth it.
....I am the mother of three adorable boys and I am fortunate to be married to my best friend. We’ve just moved from New Jersey to Texas where I am learning to love Barbecue!
....I am in love with science fiction, fantasy and the paranormal and try to use all these elements in my writing. I've been told I'm a little bloodthirsty so I hope that when you read my work you'll enjoy the action-packed ride that always ends in romance. I love to write series because I love to see characters develop over time and it always makes me happy to see my favorite characters make guest appearances in other books. In my world anything is possible, anything can happen, and you should suspect that it will.

What a Wolf Wants

Black Hills Wolves Book 2
Heather Long

He runs alone...
....Ryker Grey is used to being on the outside looking in. For more than fifty years, he has worked as Pack Enforcer for the Black Hills Wolves, rising to his rank swiftly. Compelled by duty and devotion to his people, he fought to keep them protected from within and without—earning a few enemies and fewer friends. Drew’s return has sparked healing in the fraying pack, but Ryker remains vigilant.

She needs a place to call her own...
....Saja Lyons has spent her life studying cultures, but never really being a part of them. Completing a double specialty in psychology and sociology, she decides to take the three months after her graduation to find herself on a cross-country drive. She embraces the nomadic road trip until her car breaks down on a deserted stretch of road in the middle of nowhere South Dakota.

Two lonely lives collide in the cold...
....Ryker catches Saja’s scent from a mile away, loneliness edged in fear, frustration, and utter femininity. He approaches her in order to lend her a hand and get her out of the pack’s way...the sooner she’s gone from Los Lobos, the safer the pack will be. When their gazes meet, her playful hostility arouses the hunter in him, and for the first time in fifty years, the enforcer tastes what it’s like to not be alone...
....But what if the best thing that ever happened to him is a danger to the Black Hills Wolves?
