Feeling stressed? Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered this holiday season. 😉 From now until January 2nd, my contemporary romance, PROTECING PIPER, is FREE at all major ebook retailers.

So when you need a break from decorating that tree…
When you’ve been cooking way too long and just want to chill…
Or when you absolutely cannot wrap another present…

Just curl up with PROTECTING PIPER.

She was off-limits.

Eric Wilde has always known that Piper Lane isn’t for him. She is his younger brother’s best friend…and probably more. But that hasn’t stopped Eric from wanting her, from longing for the one woman that he can’t have. Sure, he’s rich, successful—he’s built a security empire, and he’s got the world at his feet. Only he doesn’t have her.

He is the one man she needs the most.

Free-spirited Piper Lane has always considered Eric to be the enemy. He’s seemed to resent her, and the guy just flat-out makes her nervous. Every time she’s around him, she winds up doing something horribly embarrassing. But, this time…everything has changed. This time, he’s the one man she needs the most.

Something is stalking Piper.

A stranger has broken into Piper’s home twice, and she feels like someone is following her. Watching her every move. She needs a professional to help her—so enter Eric Wilde. He promises her protection, he promises to put his best investigators on her case, and he even moves her into his house. Suddenly, the guy who has always been the villain in her life…he’s now playing the role of hero.

Everything will change as the danger mounts.

And maybe Eric isn’t so bad, after all. The more time that Piper spends with him, the more she realizes that her feelings for Eric are far more complicated that she ever imagined. Desire explodes between them even as the danger deepens around her. Someone in the dark is targeting Piper, and he is determined that if he can’t possess her…then he will destroy her.

I think it’s time for a teaser. PRETEND YOU WANT ME will be here on 12/28/21, but I wanted to start sharing little snippets now…

Aspen held out her hand. “I’m Aspen Gray, and I guess I’m now your girlfriend.”

His hand swallowed hers. She could feel the calluses on his fingertips, but his hold was surprisingly gentle. “I’m Gideon Ranier, and I’m the man who’ll walk through hell for you.”

She licked her lower lip. “Hopefully, that won’t be necessary.”

His gaze was on her mouth. “You never know…”

Free book alert! For a limited time, you can get STAY WITH ME for free at Amazon!

STAY WITH ME is part of my “Lazarus Rising” series about sexy super soldiers, but all of the books in the series are complete stand-alone reads with happy endings. STAY WITH ME is set during the holiday season, so I thought it would be a fun way to slide into the merriest time of the year.

Stay With Me…

Shelly Hampton intends to spend the holidays alone in her family’s mountain cabin, but when a snow-covered stranger appears on her door-step, her plans are shot straight to hell. The man before her seems oddly familiar, and he stirs a dark need within her.

It’s soon apparent that John Smith is far more than a normal man—he’s too strong, too fast, and she could swear that he seems to read her thoughts…and know her most secret desires.

But is John a man that she could love…or is he someone she should fear? Because even as the snow fall deepens, a deadly threat is closing in on her little cabin. And soon, Shelly will be trapped on the mountain with a dangerous man…a man who swears that he has come back from the dead, just to be with her.

Pssst…I have a paranormal surprise for you on this lovely Halloween!! I’ve got a re-release that is popping up in retailers right now!

It’s been over ten years since I first released NEVER CRY WOLF with Kensington Publishing. I have the rights back to this book, so I edited it, gave it a shiny new cover–and title (the book is now known as NEVER CRY WEREWOLF).

Side note: If you read my paranormal romance, IMMORTAL DANGER, then you met wolf alpha Lucas Simone. NEVER CRY WEREWOLF is his story.

Here’s the blurb for you:

USA Today and New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Eden has a classic paranormal romance for readers in the mood to walk on the wild side.

The big, bad wolf has BITE.

No one messes with Lucas Simone. He’s the alpha of the LA wolf pack. Bigger, badder, and one hell of a lot more dangerous than the other wolf shifters, Lucas is the monster in the dark. But when Lucas finds himself framed for murder, an unlikely savior appears at his jail cell.

She’ll give him an alibi. He’ll give her pack protection.

Sarah King is a desperate woman, and a desperate woman will do super desperate things—like pretend to be involved with super-hot and mega-scary Lucas. Sarah is struggling to hide her supernatural abilities from Lucas, but as her feelings grow for the sexy shifter, the harder it is for Sarah to keep her powers under wraps…and to keep her hands off Lucas.

Maybe she can charm him into falling for her…

Little secret…Sarah has been a fan of Lucas’s for years, and when she discovers that an attack against him is imminent, she decides to help her hero. Another wolf alpha wants to take control of everything that Lucas possesses, and he is intent on burning down Lucas’s world.

But Lucas has never been afraid of a little fire.

The attraction he feels for her is primal. Consuming. The wolf within him knows that he has found his mate, and Lucas will do anything to keep her at his side. Doesn’t matter who he must fight, Lucas is ready for the battle. Sarah made a bargain with him, and now, she’ll belong to Lucas…forever.

Author’s Note: You can’t keep a wolf shifter from his mate, so don’t even try. Prepare for a fierce alpha wolf and a heroine with a past cloaked in secrecy. They will fall fast and hard for each other, and when danger comes…things will just get hotter.

NEVER CRY WEREWOLF was originally released as NEVER CRY WOLF back in June of 2011. The book has been updated and given a new cover. It’s a classic read for fans of paranormal romance.

I’ve included both the old cover and the new one below–I always find it helpful to see previous covers so I can remember which books I’ve read, and I thought some of you might feel the same way!! 😉

Happy Halloween! I have you have an amazingly spooky and fun night!!!!!

It’s book release day! REMEMBER RAMSEY is finally here!

He doesn’t deserve a second chance.

Second chances and happily-ever-after endings aren’t meant for men like Ramsey Hyde. He’s a criminal mastermind, a cold-blooded heartbreaker, and certainly no one’s idea of a dream guy. Except…once upon a time, this heartbreaker lost his heart.

She can’t remember their time together.

Dr. Whitney Augustine is considered by many to be one of the luckiest women in the world. She survived an attack that should have killed her. But her miraculous rescue came with a twist…she lost the memory of the last six months of her life.  Whitney thought that when she returned to her home, her memories would follow…Unfortunately, they didn’t.

He remembers everything about her…

Whitney is desperate to figure out what happened during the missing six months of her life. So desperate, in fact, that she hires Trouble for Hire Private Investigations to help her out. The last thing Whitney expects is to discover that she was spending all of her nights with the most notorious—and dangerous—man in the area, the inscrutable and infamous Ramsey. Surely there is no way that she and Ramsey were involved in some hot and heavy relationship? They are total opposites and…

She’s never fallen for the bad guy before. Just not her usual style.

Whitney is a criminal psychologist. She profiles bad guys. She doesn’t date them. But all of the evidence—and her own wild, undeniable attraction to Ramsey—sure seems to indicate that she may have been involved with the gorgeous bar owner.

But if they were involved, why the heck didn’t Ramsey tell her sooner?

Ramsey has been keeping secrets from Whitney—and keeping a close watch over her. She might not believe it, but he’s trying to do the right thing for once in his life. He’s trying to protect her by keeping his hands off her. But, surprise, surprise, Whitney has her own secrets, too.   And when Ramsey learns the life-changing secret that she holds so close to her heart, he will risk everything to claim her. 

New plan of attack…

Ramsey has always known he could never, ever be good enough for Whitney…only now things have changed. A target is on her back because others have realized how very important she is to him.  Staying away from her didn’t save Whitney before, so now Ramsey will have to step from the shadows as he pulls her into his world. He will surround her with his protection and if he just works hard enough, maybe one day, she will remember him…and maybe, just maybe…she could even love him.

Author’s Note: It’s time for Ramsey to come out and play! Only Ramsey isn’t exactly the kind of guy who plays nicely with anyone. He’s been obsessed with Whitney from the moment they met, and he’s already had to deal with having his heart ripped apart when he thought she’d died. But Whitney is back in his life again, and this time, Ramsey is determined to protect her.  Get ready for danger, romance, fun, and scorching hot romance! Ramsey is going to fight—hard and dirty—for the woman he wants.
