Summary
Being a beautiful competitive standout
in a male dominant territory would be any feminists dream until it
gets you noticed by the wrong man. Robyn Woods survives hair raising

chosen her. She discovers how complicated life can get when the
werewolf and her would be mother-in-law take a bite out of all her
plans.
Synopsis
Twenty-two year old college star
athlete, Robyn Woods, is approached at the campus gym late one night
by an obvious admirer but she can’t help but notice he’s not
looking at the usual curves most men pay attention to. His eyes are
scrolling over her biceps, six pack abs and even the muscles on her
legs seem to please him. As if this moment couldn’t get any more
awkward than it already has, he then asks her if she is an alpha,
beta or omega. “Whatever happened to guys asking you for your
number?”
She doesn’t have much time to
process the question as she senses the energy in the air beginning to
stir. She feels the hair on the back of her neck flare up and she
pans around the room. The intentions of her new admirer no longer
concern her due to her father’s unexpected visit. The uncomfortable
feeling of being on edge is replaced by a very bad feeling in her
bones, “What’s happened?” she wonders.
After getting the mother of all
bombs dropped on her, she throws herself into her workouts as a way
to deal with her mother’s death and the fact that her father and
sister have already moved to a new town without her. A monthly
membership to a gym is much cheaper than therapy these days.
As the semester comes to an end and
the summer begins, she joins them. Robyn realizes that in the two
months’ time they’ve lived there, her father not only knows
everyone but everyone seems to know him, too well, and the weirdness
begins.
His reason for moving them there
was for safety concerns, after all her mother’s murderer was never
caught. But as Robyn gets to know the area and the people in it she
learns her father has moved them to a town where girls are
disappearing left and right.
Robyn has always thought her
father’s life was routine, boring and mediocre but now she knows
not everything is how it seems. And what’s up with her senses? Not
only are they on high alert 24/7 but they are empowering her in ways
that even she knows is not normal.
The aggressiveness in Robyn finds a
competitor to square off with. Her sister’s new boyfriend is not
only good looking but he is well preserved with a set of fangs! Robyn
feels sucker punched when she finds out that not only does her sister
know her boyfriend shouldn’t exist but she’s digging it too!
Aggravated with the secrets that
have been kept from her, Robyn is ready to pull up stakes and head
back to her hometown for good but another pair of fangs takes a bite
out of her plans.
A very powerful alpha werewolf who
has put off choosing a mate up until now has taken an interest in
her. Robyn’s mentality is put to the real test when she helps
unravel the mystery of the girls’ disappearing and comes to the
realization that she is no match for the werewolf or her soon to be
mother-in-law.
Encouraged by his mother, the alpha
male has forced Robyn to be a part of his life, pack life. When her
father finds out she has been bitten by him he does the only thing he
can think of to save her and that’s to challenge the alpha for the
rights to his own daughter. Eric Elder, a vampire whose power is
equal to that in status of the werewolf that has bitten Robyn, shocks
everyone with his sudden interest in helping his loyal guardian’s
daughter. Robyn questions Eric’s intentions and denies him the
trust that is needed to see his plan through. Her father’s brave
attempt and Eric’s generosity changes the fate of all their lives
and leaves everyone including the vampires and werewolves of the
community wondering one thing, “Will she or will she not turn?”

Tamela Maloney wasn’t what you would
call an army brat growing up but she sure moved around a lot like
one. Although she made friends wherever her family lived she would
still get bored. To keep herself company until the next move she
would daydream about imaginary playmates in other worlds filled with
plenty of monsters. Today she’s forty-something and has plenty of
friends, “all real!” she’s happy to report. However, she
daydreams more now than ever before. “There are some people who
live in a dream world and there are some who face reality. I decided
to turn one into the other and they mesh well for me!” She didn’t
always have time for writing, she use to sit down at a desk in a
small office for a while until she had an epiphany. At the end of
the day she didn’t feel good enough about herself. “Anybody
could do what I did, it wasn’t enough for me.” So with wanting
to make a difference, she found a job that allowed her to do just
that. She now works with children with special needs. Although it’s
not as financially rewarding as her desk job was it is emotionally
rewarding. “It feels good to know that I help make a child’s day
easier and more enjoyable.” So along with being a hobby writer and
a Good Samaritan she is also a wife and a mother of two or four if
you count the dogs. She has a long list of loves and likes, but an
even longer list of hates. She admits she’s a creature of habit
and doesn’t like her routine fudged with. Here’s a few that
round off the top of all three. For one, she’s an internet nut but
yet electronically challenged. She hates technology; it’s a flaw
of hers that drives her husband batty. Second, she likes popcorn and
peanut butter—not together though. Last but not least, she loves
life, her family, things that make her go “hmm..,” lemon in her
water and dachshunds. “My wiener, Moose, is a werewolf at
heart. He’s my biggest supporter. My other wiener Libby doesn’t
get it. She doesn’t understand why Moose wants to sit next to me
while I bang away on the square black thing with the long cord she
can’t chew on.” You can find her book, Chosen for Blood, on
Amazon. Book two, not yet titled, is in the works.

Excerpt
“Your father has kept you girls away
from pack life. You’ve only been here a couple of days but Raylyn
has been here several months now.” She said it with a serious tone
and look to her and I knew I wasn’t going to like the last part at
all.
“They’ve seen Raylyn and
want her,” she confessed.
“Raylyn!”
“Your father is a very
strong alpha and if they are choosing their mates based on pack
ranking and bloodlines then of course they will want her and you,
once they learn of your existence,” she said. She had a look to her
and I watched her glance down both tunnels as she walked over to
them. She stood in front of them blocking me. The worried expression
on her face turned into a serious one.
“What is it?” I asked
peeking around her to see.
“I’m worried which tunnel
you will choose,” she said. I could tell she was very concerned.
“Why, what’s down there?”
I knew this was the actual part I wasn’t going to like.
“If Raylyn was taken and
thrown into a pit to fight what would happen to her?” she asked me.
“You sound like dad,
don’t say that. I don’t want to think about it,” I said with
tears wanting to form in my eyes now. Raylyn being attacked and
bitten was unconceivable.
“Libby said they wanted
her.”
“Then we will have to
protect her.” To me it was the only solution to this problem.
Someone would have to stay with Raylyn 24/7. “I’ll stay with
her.”
“You can’t always fight
her battles Robyn. If you try then the same thing that happened to
your mother will happen to her,” she said and for a second I
thought I heard a high pitch scream that only lasted a second. I
looked down the tunnel it came from and that made me wonder why Linda
was worried about what tunnel I would chose.
“What’s at the end of
this tunnel?” I asked pointing down it.
“A much needed reality
check,” she said and then stood in my way blocking my view of it.
“At the end of this tunnel is an arena that has been used for many
things and training our wolves to fight is one good purpose it’s
served.”
“Alright, who was screaming
just now?” I asked.
“It’s not just the
werewolves she’ll have to be prepared to fight. There are vampires
and humans helping these wolves,” she said trying to keep my
attention on her.
“Linda, where’s Raylyn?”
I was getting firm with her.
“She’s learning how to
survive.”
Thank you for the lovely review spot!
