About Demon Q:
A shifter without a mate is a shifter without a mind.
It’s been five years since Shilo’s mate walked out on her and she’s been just a little, tiny bit unstable, a feeling that isn’t helped by the impending fight with a neighboring colony. She might not be all there, but even a crazed shifter knows waking up in a stranger’s bed hours from home to find the contacts from her pack murdered means she’s in trouble.
Aimless and restless and unconcerned with anything beyond his next one-night stand, Waylon agrees to act as bodyguard for some shifter pack liaison embroiled in a power struggle. What could it hurt? He’s been aching for five years, and maybe this assignment will take his mind off all he’s lost. But when he meets his client, his world stops. It’s her. His mate. The one he left.
Thanks to their history, he can’t just walk away and leave her as a target. Thanks to her instability, she can’t go home without backup. If either wants to survive the bloody present, both will have to set aside their heartbreaking past and fight for their uncertain future.
EXCERPT:
“How the hell do you keep getting in here?” His sleep-roughened voice zinged straight to her belly. A familiar warmth curled through her. It wasn’t purely sexual, and that was disturbing. His epic patience yesterday had been endearing. It was an unusual trait in demons and one she used to scorn, but in him, she liked it.
As for his question—getting in was easier than ever. Almost as if his energy were parting just for her. Soon, she’d be able to wander right in like she lived here.
“Tricks of the trade.”
His lips flattened as much as they could and he rolled up to a seat. “Have you eaten yet?”
“Munched a few candy beetles on my way here.” It was almost all she ate.
“I have some trail mix.” He reached under his stone slab into a compartment she hadn’t seen before and retrieved a bag of nuts and raisins.
She sat up. His broad back was to her and again his shoulders were aligned. “You can smuggle anything down here and you pick that atrocious mix?”
He glanced over his shoulder, the move making his horns shimmer like they had their own light. The color blazed like the torches lining the wall. “What would you have me bring?”
She rolled to her knees to get a closer look at each horn. They curved elegantly and the orange shimmer… “Do your horns glow?”
“They can if I want them to.”
“You can control it?” She lifted a hand to touch them.
“It’s all energy.”
She snatched her hand back. What was she thinking? Stroking Quution.
Xan changed the subject. “I’d bring some of the good stuff down, like cheesecake. You want nuts? At least get ones covered in chocolate.”
“I don’t care for sweets.”
Further proof she needed to keep her hands to herself. She could succeed without seducing him. “Monster.”
He chuckled, an honest, very male sound that made her belly flip. “I don’t care for them as my main form of sustenance.”
“You should. Life’s too short to eat bland food. Or scavenger beetles.”
His heavy shoulders shuddered. “If I never eat one again, I’ll be happy.” He held out the bag of trail mix. She plucked out a raisin. It would have to do.
Swallowing she asked, “Where do we start?”
