The Beta Read online

Page 9


  Silence blanketed the room after his declaration. Robert kneeled and gathered his Esther into his arms. The next year would be tough on both of them. He’d just witnessed Spice’s adaptation with Eric as her mentor and he knew what to expect—a lot of chaos.

  Esther’s blue eyes met his.

  He’d love every second of it.

  The front door closed and Eric’s voice shouted, “We’re home. What’d we miss?”

  Robert glanced at the pack cellphone on his bedside table. He’d keep it and give his alphas one more day of rest. There wasn’t a problem out there he couldn’t handle.

  From my Vermont home, I create paranormals with a twist. Finding the right kind of twist for each story proves to be a challenge, especially in a series.

  I struggled to find the right woman for Robert. All the month of August 2010, I wrote and wrote from his point of view trying to find the core of what I wanted. Ten thousand words later, I hit delete and erased it all. With a new start, I met Esther. Hard-ass killer, confident, and competent, the total opposite of my hero. A perfect match. A perfect twist.
