The Cougar's Pawn (Desert Guards Book 1) Jun 23, 2019

by Holley Trent

( 40 )

$0.00

Cougar shifter Mason Foye is used to getting things he doesn’t want. First, his father died, leaving Mason the heir apparent of the alpha position of a group of mutinous cats. Now, the absentee goddess who created the species is sending him and his brothers on an ill-timed mate hunt. And her message, for once, is clear: convince a stranger to become his mate, or else.

When Ellery Colvard embarks on a camping trip with her two best friends, she expects bonding and maybe a little adventure, not to be kidnapped by a supernatural menace for the second time in a year. But this time, she’s nobody’s victim. The witch is prepared to use every trick in her arsenal to escape.

But…she’s not entirely sure she’s supposed to.

Powerful entities seem to be conspiring to push the two reluctant parties together, but can they trust the magic is real? Because if it isn’t, Mason may be cursed to spend the rest of his days roaming in his four-legged form—a bad deal for a father of an infant son.

***This work was first released by Crimson Romance in 2015. This is a gently revised edition.***

The Cougar's Trade (Desert Guards Book 2) Jun 30, 2019

by Holley Trent

( 6 )

$2.99

Cougar second-in-command Hank Foye has been thrust into an unwanted mate match by the goddess La Bella Dama, and saying no is out of the question. As stubborn as he is, not even Hank wants to suffer her curse for refusing. He simply doesn’t understand why she’d pair a powerful shapeshifter with a quiet human nurse.

Miles Bennett knows she’s a liability in a world where shifters fight each other to lead and roam. Orphaned young, she’s not afraid, though, to take a chance on surly Hank and walk his path with him if it means she’ll finally belong to a family again. But she’s not going to make it easy for him. She’s deserves better from him than benign neglect, and he knows it.

She may not have been the mate Hank wanted, but sweet Miles is the embodiment of everything he thought he couldn’t have. Nothing makes sense anymore—not his goddess, not the local Cougar dynamics, and certainly not his feelings.

How can Hank lead a group of restless shapeshifters if he can’t even get his own house, and heart, in order?

***This book was first published by Crimson Romance in 2015. This is a lightly revised second edition.***

$2.99

Hannah Welch doomed cougar shifter Sean Foye to spend the rest of his life in his animal form when she refused to accept him as a mate, but now she has no choice but to make peace. She strikes a bargain with the Cougar goddess La Bella Dama that frees Sean from his furry affliction, but also requires that Hannah to find him a more suitable mate.

When the goddess sends them on a mission to root out a group of dangerous forgotten shifters, Sean has no choice but to put his anger toward Hannah on ice. The sooner he can get back to the ranch, the sooner he can disentangle himself from the hostile woman who was supposed to be his mate.

But now Hannah’s not so sure she should give him up. He’s the only man who’s ever made her feel comfortable in her own skin—and her own fur, too. Unfortunately, Sean’s got hang-ups of his own. Just like her, he’s used to being overlooked.

Can she prove to him that their destiny deserves a second chance? Or will they continue to walk alone, rejecting the loving, yet daunting, future Fate had in store for them?

$2.99

A desperate entity trapped on the other side of an active hellmouth pleads for cougar shifter Belle Foye’s help, and she can’t stop herself from running toward it, even though it means putting her own life in danger. As if that weren’t inconvenient enough, Belle’s inner cat’s biological clock is loudly ticking, which means her body is acting in all sorts of ways she wishes it wouldn’t—particularly when it comes to her new babysitter.
Former soldier Steven Welch has been tasked with keeping Belle away from the hellmouth at all costs. It’s just his luck that the cat has taken a shine to his human self. Unfortunately, sticking close to her means he has no choice but to confront a fear of the supernatural he’d hoped he left in the Afghan desert.
When the pair learns Steven’s own secret paranormal gift could help solve Belle’s problem, their differences collide. Steven insists he’s no hero, but Belle wants to enter the hellmouth and end the trouble it’s brought on her family once and for all.

If Belle can’t convince him that she has his back as well as he has hers, she’ll lose her fated mate and the only man she’s ever trusted enough to call “partner.”

The Chieftain's Daughter (The Afótama Legacy Book 2) Mar 17, 2015

by Holley Trent

( 27 )

$2.99

It has been nearly a thousand years since the Afótama have had a chieftain, and the old Viking gods have decided it’s time to return some power to the tribe’s men. Harvey Lang and Oliver Gilisson have barely settled into their roles as queen’s consorts when new powers awaken along with undeniable hungers.

Queen Contessa now has two chieftains and twice as many problems. She’s not only in the midst of using her powerful psychic abilities to track long-missing clanspeople, but now has to contend with mercenaries targeting the Afótama’s New Mexican desert home and a megalomaniac fairy queen wants to take Ollie’s sons. Further, her two men seem to have forged an incendiary connection that has left her feeling cold.

If Harvey, Ollie, and Tess are to be the leaders who finally return magic to their people, they must first come to terms with having power of their own. And to balance their strengths, they may have to become a true ménage instead of a sometimes-threesome.

by Holley Trent

( 74 )

$0.00

Contessa Dahl has spent most of her life in a daze. A rudderless orphan, most decisions involved her fists and feet: should she fight or should she run? At twenty-eight, she’s ready to clean up her act, but Tess might be a bit premature because she’s destined to be a special kind of leader.

Born into a group of desert-dwelling telepathic descendants of Vikings, Tess was meant to become a link for them all—their queen and conduit. Her kidnapping and the subsequent death of her parents meant her people, the Afótama, have had a hole in their web for too long. Now that she’s back at home, it’s Tess’s job to mend it. But, she can’t do it alone.

She needs a perfect mate to fill in her psychic gaps, and two men claim to be fated for the job. Harvey Lang, her childhood champion, and the group outsider Oliver Gilisson would fight to the death to win her. However, to gain full control of her considerable power, she must find a way to keep them both.

THE VIKING QUEEN'S MEN is an M/F/M ménage romance that contains hot sex, bar brawls, and psychic snark.

Viking Flame (The Afótama Legacy Book 3) Mar 22, 2016

by Holley Trent

( 18 )

$3.99

Acting as an emissary for her pregnant cousin Tess, Nadia Hall’s mission is to locate a missing member of her clan’s royalty. She sets up a temporary base in Florida expecting Tess to send backup, but Nadia doesn’t expect it to show up in the form of one of the two men she’s been aggressively avoiding for months. And when man number two arrives out of the blue, her crippling anxiety about connecting to her fated makes the usually assertive woman run and hide.

To complicate matters, her mates Thom Vaughn and Jeff Alstrup butt heads in a way only a sexually frustrated fairy and a fire-wielding modern Viking can manage. It seems the men don’t have a problem sharing Nadia—the issue is the men don’t know if they can share each other.

If the powerful trio can’t strike an accord, not only will Nadia’s mission potentially get derailed, but the three will be unable to compensate for the changes in their magic that their union has sparked. With Nadia being psychically linked to the rest of the Afótama clan, she can’t afford to lose control. None of them can.

***This story features irresistible fairies and telepathic modern Vikings who are starved for attention. When they gather in one room, anything goes.***

A Legacy Divided (The Afótama Legacy Book 5) Oct 19, 2018

by Holley Trent

( 24 )

$3.99

In this penultimate installment of The Afótama Legacy, a prodigal son returns, an adopted daughter goes missing, and an ancient witch grows restless.

The community of Norseton has been in a state of disorder since the young princess Tess was kidnapped more than two decades ago. Her return to the long-secluded tribe of psychics should have marked a return to the tranquility they knew in their first centuries in America, but there’s still work to be done. She needs her older brothers’ help to root out traitors and track the mastermind behind the plot to unravel the community.

One brother chases a mate who’s vanished under mysterious circumstances. The other is embroiled in a testy trio with the daughter of the man who tops Norseton’s public enemy list and the fairy who’s only ever seen him at his worst. Can the Dahl men be the emissaries the Afótama need when the heightened urgency for them to secure their mates distracts them from their missions?

And as the fount of their wild magic, Ótama, takes a more hands-on approach to community threats, will the peaceable culture of the clan change as they all know it?

Cupid in Love (Sons of Gulielmus Book 3) Dec 30, 2020

by Holley Trent

( 1 )

$3.99

Charles Edison has spent most of his hundred-plus years as an incubus darkening souls. As a son of notorious fallen angel Gulielmus, he’s never known true affection…which is stunning with him being descended from a love god on his mother’s side. Now that his brother has tumbled head-over-heels in love with a human woman, Charles wants the same for himself.

He wants to belong to someone.

Lucky for him, the Fates conspire to right old wrongs, but Charles discovers the woman destined for him is one he absolutely should not want. Marion Wilder’s family has been on the supernatural Most Wanted List for twenty-five years because of their part in causing the demise of a high-ranking demon. Gulielmus would capture her if he had the chance.

Strangely, human Marion is immune to the harmful effects of Charles’ touch. She’s the chance at having a normal life and a real family he never thought he’d have, and he would give up anything to keep her.

Including his father’s favor.

The Viking's Witch (The Afótama Legacy Book 4) Dec 31, 2016

by Holley Trent

( 11 )

$1.99

Although her sister has pulled up stakes and moved her family to the psychic community of Norseton, Marty Petersen doesn’t believe she’ll fit in with them. She belongs in familiar Florida, and not in the desert amidst a clan of thoroughly modern Vikings.

Afótama clansman Chris Holst doesn’t agree. He’s been dreaming of Marty for nearly a year and knows she’s meant to be his. He doesn’t want her to leave Norseton before he’s had his chance to bond with her in the way of their kind, but he understands why she’d be afraid. Her father is the clan’s most notorious fraud, and the blowback from his imminent expulsion could upset the single mom’s already shaky situation. He’s willing to stand at her side and hold her hand until the turmoil subsides, but she has to let him into her life first.

If Marty can’t break free from the depressive grip of the lies that have suppressed her for so many years, she won’t be able to take what’s hers. She could wield the magic of the Afótama, and more importantly, she could claim the worthy man who is rightfully hers.

Knight in Leather (Hearth Motel Book 2) Apr 12, 2016

by Holley Trent

( 20 )

$3.99

Dasha Maurice isn’t in the market for a serious relationship, much less one with one of the leather-wearing fairies residing at her best friend’s beach motel. Sure, Ethan Gotch is built like a linebacker and tongue-numbingly sexy, but he’s also a smidge intense and has a pesky ex who insists he’s her fated mate.

He’s not. He’s Dasha’s.

Being the only human in the fairy clique makes Dasha the perfect little soldier to play messenger in the fairy realm. She can’t be detected by raging Queen Rhiannon’s magic, and can help pull more oppressed Sídhe to freedom. The realm is collapsing and the people need a way out.

When Ethan’s ex pulls a stunt causing Dasha to get stuck in the realm, she starts to believe she was right keeping her distance from the fairy, but that’s the least of her concerns. If Dasha can’t accept what it means to be the mate of a shapeshifting fairy knight and work a little magic of her own, the two may never make it home alive.

Prince in Leather (Hearth Motel Book 1) Jun 1, 2015

by Holley Trent

( 48 )

$3.99

An inherited curse has kept depressed innkeeper Simone Bristol bound to a rundown beach motel for the past six years. Just when she has a chance to break free of it, some visiting guests check in and reset the curse’s clock. They may have foiled her getaway, but it turns out one of those guests could be her respite.

Heath Horan, Sídhe prince and leader of a crew of fairy, motorcycle-riding assassins, claims she’s his fated mate and her ticket out of there. Unfortunately, he also claims that her mother was a runaway from the fairy realm and that Queen Rhiannon—his mother—would love to see both women dead. It seems Simone has walked from one curse into another.

She may be able to get used to being the main squeeze of a sword-wielding prince in leather, but she’s not so sure she’s cut out to be an assassin, too. Unfortunately, if she wants to stay alive long enough to break her curse and help Heath subdue unrest in his realm caused by his mother’s antics, she might have to be.

***Contains scenes of explicit sensuality suitable for adult readers only.***
