Lore and Shannon do! They have two events tomorrow—they start at Vestal, NY’s Barnes & Noble at 1 p.m. for Hearts and STARs along with other members of RWA’s Southern Tier Authors of Romance chapter. They’ll only be there briefly, but the other awesome authors will be there until 3 p.m.
Lore and Shannon will next head north to the Utica Aud to participate in the Romance Novel Market (set up by Chrissy Kullmann who also does the Romance in CNY event in Utica (not to be missed!). There will be a bunch of romance authors (and books) there. too. And we’ll have our stuffed wolves and our book counters (and bright pink bracelets reading “The Lady Always Gets What She Wants” which is from Lore’s OMEGA HEAT).
Now because we’re running late on free books this Friday (and still packing), we’re going to jump to the freebies.
Remember, genres and heat levels vary. They are free at the time of me sending this. Read the blurbs before you commit to the book. Here we go, LUCKY 13! We have hockey, horses and cowboys, and fantasy books…

A star-crossed lovers shifter romance
As midwife, Tori Mott has an elevated status among the Sinclaire wolf pack. When she’s invited to a midwife conference, she’s assigned a bodyguard. After a booking mix-up puts her in the same room as him, her conference vacation becomes more than she bargained for. He’s stoic, grumpy, and grating on her nerves. If it weren’t for the vampires lurking around the city, she’d sleep on a bench.
Yandri Rutledge is a tolerated stain in the Hyatt wolf pack, used as extra muscle, and kept on a short leash. Despite his mistreatments, he’s dedicated to doing his job and doing it well. When he’s forced to bunk with an out-of-town shifter, her stubbornness and cockamamie ideas make his life harder than it should be.
When tensions between the two packs come to a head, and the vampires single out a target, their futures are put on the line, and a decision needs to be made.
Enjoy some new books, and remember to leave reviews for the books you love—authors appreciate it!
