Please welcome my guest blogger today Amber Morgan with Waking the Lioness.
I'm a werewolf girl first and foremost, but my
second-favourite shifter is definitely the werecat. Although the term “werecat”
only really came about in the 1970s, there's been myths and legends about
humans turning into cats forever. In European folklore there are stories of
witches turning into domestic cats. In Africa, leopard gods and goddesses would
take human form and mate with mortals, and their offspring would be
shapeshifters (hmm, now there's a story idea...). In Asia, the ghosts of people
killed by tigers could become evil beings called Chang, who made sure
that tigers killed even more people!
And in America, where WAKING THE LIONESS is set, we
have were-jaguars. In Mesoamerican cultures, priests and shamans would wear
jaguar skins to become jaguars themselves. There are also stories of bipedal
felines – kind of like Bigfoot, but, you know, cats. There doesn't seem to be
much about shapeshifting mountain lions, but that's the beauty of being a
writer – I can make it up! I'm hoping that WAKING THE LIONESS will be the first
in a series of werecat stories, because there's just so much to explore! In the
mean time, I'm looking forward to you meeting, Lara, Zane, and Tate, and
getting to know my werecats very, very intimately.
Blurb
Convinced she could never give her
fiance what he truly wanted, cat-shifter Lara Carey walked away from her home
and her engagement, and started fresh in New Orleans. One year on, she's never
stopped missing Zane Walker...but it's too late to do anything about it, isn't
it?
Zane Walker hasn't come to New Orleans to find Lara, but when chance throws them together, his passion for her is reignited. There's just one problem. Zane's new lover is missing somewhere in New Orleans, and even if Zane and Lara find him, can Lara accept him and Zane?

Excerpt
She smiled, hoping she didn’t
look as nervous as she felt. “Is Tate the jealous type?” she asked, flexing her
fingers. Zane let out a long sigh.
“Lara, this isn’t—”
She moved in front of him,
sliding her hand down his torso until she cupped his balls. Another ragged
sigh. Lara licked her lips and kissed his throat, nipping lightly. The smell of
male arousal mingled with her own musk. She kept her eyes on Tate as she teased
Zane, raking her nails over his balls and rubbing her thumb across that soft,
sensitive stretch of flesh beneath, just the way he loved. If Tate was the
jealous type, she could be making a major mistake here, one she’d never recover
from.
But Tate didn’t look angry or
jealous as the dull glaze faded from his eyes. He looked…curious.
Zane groaned as she encircled
his hardening cock. He pulled her hard against him, crushing her breasts to him
with just the right balance of pleasure-pain. She whimpered as he dug his
fingers into her hips, silently urging her on.
She worked her hand slowly up
and down his shaft, her other hand making lazy trails up and down his chest. It
had been so long since she’d been with anyone. The slightest contact burned
like wildfire, and this was Zane, the only man she’d ever loved.
Breathless with desire, wound tight with need, it was impossible to pretend she
did this only to force Tate into a shift. She was doing this all for her own
selfish pleasure and she wasn’t going to stop. And if Zane’s reaction to her
touch was anything to go by, he didn’t want her to.
On the bed, Tate raised his
head and chirped at Zane. Zane raised his head, a little growl escaping his
lips. “You know the rules. You want in, you shift,” he said in a voice thick
and throaty with desire.
The words caught Lara
off-guard. They implied so much with so little. So much history, past threesomes
maybe. Her heart skipped. Did Zane think... Would she even...?
Her stomach filled with
butterflies as she realized she would. Dammit, she was so starved for skin
contact, so – yes, still so in love with Zane, that she would. She’d take both
men. Excitement raced through her. She’d take them both and savor the thrill of
it.
Tate shook his head and pushed
himself up, his wounded back leg clearly hampering him. Lara’s hand faltered
for a second, worried he’d hurt himself worse, but then Zane’s hand closed over
hers. “Finish what you started,” he growled.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Amber. :)
