Sneak Peek: Love Restored

The first book in a Montgomery Ink spin-off series, LOVE RESTORED by Carrie Ann Ryan, was announced on USA Today HEA yesterday, and we're so thrilled to bring you a first look at LOVE RESTORED today!

 

About LOVE RESTORED

In the first of a Montgomery Ink spin-off series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan, a broken man uncovers the truth of what it means to take a second chance with the most unexpected woman…

Graham Gallagher has seen it all. And when tragedy struck, lost it all. He’s been the backbone of his brothers, the one they all rely on in their lives and business. And when it comes to falling in love and creating a life, he knows what it’s like to have it all and watch it crumble. He’s done with looking for another person to warm his bed, but apparently he didn’t learn his lesson because the new piercer at Montgomery Ink tempts him like no other.

Blake Brennen may have been born a trust fund baby, but she’s created a whole new life for herself in the world of ink, piercings, and freedom. Only the ties she’d thought she’d cut long ago aren’t as severed as she’d believed. When she finds Graham constantly in her path, she knows from first glance that he’s the wrong kind of guy for her. Except that Blake excels at making the wrong choice and Graham might be the ultimate temptation for the bad girl she’d thought long buried.

Get a sneak peek at LOVE RESTORED:

Graham Gallagher had never craved a cigarette as much as he did just then. It didn’t matter that he’d quit smoking over fifteen years ago cold turkey and hadn’t picked one up since then. He just wanted a damn smoke.

Scratch that.

He wanted a fucking cigarette, a beer, and a willing woman underneath him as he fucked her until they were both spent.

And not necessarily in that order.

Not that he’d get any of that any time soon. Between this new job, the old one they hadn’t fully completed yet, and the rest of the crap in his life, he wasn’t sure he’d even have time for a beer.

And considering it had been a long six months since he’d had a woman under him, he was pretty sure he wouldn’t be getting laid any time soon. Him and his right hand had a perfectly nice relationship for now and when he got downright dangerous, he got to know his left.

Jesus, he needed coffee or something at this point if he was thinking about how his left hand would be something different in his life.

He ran a hand through his dark hair and grimaced as he caught some tangles as he pulled it out of the rubber band. He wasn’t sure he’d brushed it that morning, instead just throwing it up in a tie at the back of his head as soon as he’d gotten out of the shower. At least he’d showered, he thought. Considering he’d slept for shit the night before, a shower after sweat-slick dreams had been the only recourse. He quickly ran his hand through it a few more times, getting out most of the rat’s nest and pulled it back up before the owner of their new project showed up and called him a heathen.

Graham sighed, sliding his hand over his beard to straighten it out. Since it had grown past his chin and almost touched his chest if he lowered his head just right, he already looked the part of a heathen to some. Add in the ink covering his body and the piercings only those in his bed could see, he didn’t fit the ideal image of a business man that someone of this caliber would want to work with.

And that was just find with him.

An Immortal's Song

AN IMMORTAL’S SONG

BY CARRIE ANN RYAN

Dante's Circle, Book 6

a Paranormal Fantasy

Ménage Romance MMF

Blurb

Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?

Amara Young has always been on the outside looking in. She’s the one lightning-struck woman out of her group who has never felt as if she’s belonged. She lost a year of her life caring for her dying friend, but now it’s her turn to find out who she is. Only when the time comes, two men stand in her way—two men who claim her as theirs.

Tristan Archer, fae royalty and Conclave member, has waited over nine hundred years for his fate. And now he has two chances. While one knows his path, the other seems blind to what they could have. It will take more than a simple risk for Tristan to finally have what he desires…that is if Amara and Seth can overcome their own uncertainties.

While the other two in his life are fighting themselves and their futures, Seth Oceanus knows exactly what he wants. The younger brother of a Conclave member and relatively young in his realm, he knows he’ll have to prove himself so others see him for who he truly is.

As the triad succumbs to their cravings, they will have to fight more than their overwhelming feelings in order to survive.

Warning: Contains an innocent merman, a very talented fae, and a human woman who can outpace them both.

EXCERPT:

Sitting in a bar for hours on end wouldn’t help matters, but Tristan Archer figured he might as well try it out. It may take him far longer to get drunk than it would if he were human, yet he figured he’d give it a go. After the hellish few months he’d had, he would try anything at this point.

He ran a hand through his short, auburn hair that tended to look brown in the bar’s lighting and sighed. He shouldn’t have accepted his friend Levi’s invitation to dinner and drinks at Dante’s Circle in the human realm. He should have rejected the offer and gone back to the thousand other things he had to do within the fae realm and inside the Conclave.

Tristan wasn’t just any fae. He was a nine-hundred-year-old fae prince with responsibilities that lay heavily on his shoulders. He was also a Conclave member, where he helped govern every paranormal realm in existence with another fae member and two others from each race. That was how he’d become friends with Levi, a wizard and prince in his own right.

So here he was, in Dante’s Circle, a bar owned and named after a royal blue dragon; the meeting place of seven women and their mates with a history he couldn’t immediately comprehend.

Of course, it was because one of those women that he’d rather be in the fae realm instead of the dark bar with oak paneling and photos on the walls that spoke of generations of memories and connections. He’d been here a few times in the past, always on the outside of the circle of lightning-struck woman and their mates, but never fully excluded.

They’d welcomed Tristan into their fold, even if they didn’t understand why it hurt him so to be that close to what he couldn’t have.

Or maybe they understood all too well. After all, one of their own was the reason for his confusion, his torture. The object of his desire.

“If you keep glowering at her over in the corner, you’ll end up scaring her more than she already is,” Seth said from his side.

Tristan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, immediately regretting the action as soon as he did. The man next to him smelled of the sea. And hope. His heart ached and his dick filled.

Seth Oceanus was a merman, a friend, and his mate.

His true half.

Or at least one of them.

Not that he or Seth could do anything about it when the other part of their triad didn’t feel the same way.

EXCERPT

Sassy had waited for this day for what felt like months. Years if she were honest with herself. Rafe and Ian had stormed into her tattoo shop and her life over a year ago, and the three of them were engaged to be married soon after. They’d fallen in love as young adults, spent far too long apart, and were now going to spend the rest of their lives together. She had their ink on her skin, the memory of their hands and bodies on hers, and the feeling of their souls connected with her own.

She loved the two men—like she never thought she would be able to. And in turn, they loved her just as deeply. The passion and emotion they held for each other brought her to tears. She knew she was blessed.

They were a true triad.

A relationship between three people in which there were no secrets, no way to hide things. Once one of them started to hide within themselves, the other two would bring them out. Communication and pure openness were the only way the three of them could work. And she would never have it any other way.

Of course, all of that worked well in theory.

In real life? Not so much.

A dominant female in a shifter pack: An Alpha's Choice

An Alpha's Choice

The Talon Pack series

a Redwood Pack spin-off

by Carrie Ann Ryan

a Paranormal Romance

A Special Message from author Carrie Ann Ryan

about The Talon Pack series

 

New to the Talon Pack? Well let me give you a little introduction to one of my favorite series! The Talon Pack is a brand new series an An Alpha’s Choice is the second full length book in that series. However, it’s also a spin off of my Redwood Pack series.

When I first started the Redwood Pack series back in 2011 I knew my Pack members would have children. I hoped that my readers would want to read about them and I was so blessed that I could keep writing in this world.

However instead of writing in the same series, I decided to branch out. I didn’t want to write about ONLY the Redwood Pack again and feel like I was doing the same story over and over again. Instead, I went to a new Pack, the Talons. Some of the Redwood Pack’s latest generation mates into the Talons, but its still a new world for me.

I love it.

So who are the Talons? The Brentwood family rules the Talons, with the Alpha, Gideon, getting his story in book 1, Tattered Loyalties. He actually mated a Redwood submissive wolf named Brie. In their book, the world I made blew up a bit and I am enjoying the ride as everyone figures out what to do in a world where the humans now know the shifters are real.

An Alpha’s Choice follows Brynn, the lone sister of the Brentwoods and dominant female as well as the Redwood Pack Heir, Finn. He is the son of the Redwood Alpha and will one day lead. These are two dominant wolves who might be fated to mate with one another but that won’t come easy.

It’s really not easy when Finn doesn’t feel the pull of the bond like he should.

I do hope you enjoy reading An Alpha’s Choice. It’s a new world but with familiar characters if you’ve read my work before. Happy Reading!

 

 

An Alpha’s Choice Synopsis:

The Bestselling Redwood Pack continues with the Talon Pack series.

 A Broken Wolf. A Fractured Bond. A Fate Denied.

 Brynn Brentwood has spent the whole of her life protecting the Talon Pack through terrors only she will ever know. She’s never asked for more in life other than to live to take her next breath and to ensure her family is safe. Regardless of her selfless wishes and the atrocities the former Alpha committed, she has always known that fate would provide for her as it had countless others. Fate is what has carried her through with one exception—upon meeting the one wolf who could be hers, he doesn’t feel their bond.

Finn Jamenson has been broken more than once, left beaten and half dead—and that was before he was an adult and Heir of the Redwood Pack. When called upon to work with their allies, the Talons, he finds himself intrigued with a woman who his wolf doesn’t claim as his own. Though he knows there could be something there, he refuses to tempt himself with a wolf who could never be his when his own mate could waiting for him.

The world changed in a blink of time and now the two wolves must fight as one—ignoring the burning temptation between them—when their people are threatened. With one wrong move, their homes could be destroyed and its up to Finn and Brynn to save them all…if only they could save themselves.

EXCERPT

 

The bitter taste of burned coffee couldn’t even be covered up by the heavy dose of sugar, caramel, and cream Brynn had added to her cup. Sometimes having an acute sense of taste really sucked.

She licked the remaining whipped cream off her lips and set down her cup; fully aware she wasn’t drinking coffee in private. Nothing in her life was truly private. Not anymore.

Brynn smiled softly and brushed her long black hair from her shoulder, trying to look friendly, innocent, and as if she didn’t have a care in the world. A total lie, but most people chose what they saw rather that what they should see.

The past year had just cemented that reasoning to her. When General Martinez had stepped foot near the Talon land, the game had changed yet again. The humans knew they existed. They knew shifters roamed around them; knew that some turned into so-called monsters. But they didn’t know everything. It was Brynn’s job to make sure they didn’t know everything. Well, Brynn, the rest of her family, and the Redwoods.

Uncle Leo and his men had shifted into wolf form and back again on camera. That was what the public had seen. They’d seen the painful transition of bones breaking and tendons tearing. They saw humans shifted into wolves with claws and fangs. Then they’d seen Brynn and her family fight them in human form. They’d seen the show of strength, but they hadn’t seen the death. The cameras had been destroyed by then. Thank the goddess. The humans had only seen a tiny part of who the shifters were. They hadn’t seen a loving mated couple care for one another, hadn’t seen a pup roll in the grass while chasing his tail.

They’d only seen the pain and fear that came with shifting. Brynn felt that same agony each time she turned wolf, but the bliss that wrapped around her soul when she connected with her shifter half was worth any pain. 

Again, not that the humans knew that.
