Pointe of Breaking

~A college dance standalone collaboration by Sarah J. Pepper & Amy Daws~        POINTE Getting screwed over backstage by my married-ex tears my heart into a million tiny pieces. Sitting in the audience at the ballet with my former fling wasn't my idea of fun. I live in my pointe shoes, not even my ex can taint my love for ballet. I hate the ballet. This on again/off again crap was getting old. And then my whole world changes when I notice the smoldering gaze... Then I look to the stage, and I can't take my eyes off...  OF... Leo Richards. Adeline Parker. Concentrating on anything except his sexy...everything, is impossible. Her presence commands my attention...I've never experienced this before. He makes me second-guess everything I've ever dreamed about. She makes me question everything I've ever known. Fighting him is a strategic sport--no clothes allowed. All I can think about are her sexy ballerina legs wrapped around me--tutu definitely on. BREAKING Our scandalous rendezvous is plastered all over NYC's tabloids. Because of my status in Manhattan, now I've dragged her into the limelight. My ex will stop at nothing to tear us apart. Seriously powerful people forbid me to be with her. Rumors about his past keep building. I can't tell her this secret. When it came to Leo, I only knew the big things. When it came to Adeline, I knew nothing about the little things. But uncovering those things about him [her] may push us past our breaking point. **

Howling for My Baby

Romeo and Juliet never had to worry about being skinned alive. Sydney Skeller’s father is spitting bullets over her reluctance to join the family business as a shifter hunter. The last thing Daddy needs to know is why—she yearns for a lover who’s man enough for a relationship but animal enough to give her the wild ride of her dreams. After a treadmill mishap lands her in a tangled heap with Jason Cannon, she wonders if she’s finally found her beast, er, man. One session in bed and one bite later, she’s sure. Now if only she can keep her father from mounting Jason’s head on a wall… Jason is all man on the surface, but wolf shifter down to the bone. He’s more than ready to stop “playing the pack” and find his one true mate, and Sydney of the luscious curves is the woman of his dreams. Finding out that she comes from a family sworn to eradicate his kind isn’t a deal-breaker. But her outrageous plan for him to masquerade as the wolf in hunter’s clothing, right under her father’s very nose, could be asking more than he ever expected to give.
