About the Book
Salena Roarke has chosen yet another stellar boyfriend. Running for her life from the enraged Derrick, she collapses outside of a mountain cabin. Little does she realize her savior is a deadly predator, a vampire.
Whittaker longs to be with Salena, but he knows his maker is still out there. Doubting he can keep her safe from the bloodthirsty creature who turned him, he tries to hold her at bay. But once he succumbs to Salena’s charms, he knows his life will be forever changed and he will do anything to keep her safe.
Check out the following Excerpt!
Whittaker smiled. “My name is Whittaker St. James. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Salena.”
Whittaker. Somehow, the name seemed to suit him. She glanced down at the black tee she wore and looked at him questioningly.
“Your dress was soaked through. I’ve washed and dried it if you’d like to change.”
“Yes, thank you.” She looked at the floor. It was obvious the two of them were alone in the cabin, yet she couldn’t help but ask the question weighing heavy on her mind. “Did you change my clothes?”
He cleared his throat and looked somewhat embarrassed. “Yes. It was either that or take a chance on you coming down with pneumonia.”
She nodded and her face flushed. It was one thing to be naked with someone you’d been dating, but another for a complete stranger to see you undressed. Even if you did find him irresistible.
It was one thing to want to be naked with him, and another for him to see you naked while you were out cold. It should have been at least a little bit creepy, but for some reason it wasn’t. There was something about Whittaker, something that seemed familiar. Perhaps they were destined to meet.
He stepped closer. Brushing her hair back behind her ear, he smiled down at her. “I would say that I was a perfect gentleman and didn’t look, but I’m afraid it was impossible not to. Your beauty drew me like a moth to a flame, even if I only caught a glimpse.”
She felt her face burn, yet his words made her hormones surge out of control again. He’d called her beautiful, something not many had done in her life. She was only twenty, but Salena had hoped to experience some sort of grand passion by now. Instead, she had found one mediocre boyfriend after another, until the last one — the homicidal one who’d tried to kill her. I can certainly pick ‘em, she thought.
Whittaker stepped back. “I’ll just, uh, get your dress for you.”
Before Salena could embarrass herself further, her savior left, leaving her alone in the bedroom once more. A bedroom that now had his scent lingering in the air, a scent she recognized. She knew without a doubt that this was his bedroom, and she’d been sleeping on his pillow.
The butterflies in her stomach rioted once more as her thoughts strayed to the bed and the man she desperately wanted. If he had touched her intimately, she knew she would have gone willingly into his arms, probably would have begged him to take her. It was embarrassing to think she was so easy.
While she waited for him to return, she looked out the window at the spectacular view of the mountains. She’d never seen anything so peaceful in her life. Even though bad circumstances had brought her here, she was glad she had met Whittaker.

Texas Trilogy book 3
Posted by: paigewarren on: October 4, 2010
The Texas Trilogy is coming to an end, with Texas on Her Mind being released in November by Wild Horse Press. While I’ll be sad to see the short story series end, it will be compiled into one story and released in paperback format no later than January 2011. So, exciting news along with sad news. 
My next story will be a continuation of Man of Her Dreams. It’s time to tell the hunky neighbor’s story
The Ashton Grove Werewolves… a deeper look
Posted by: paigewarren on: May 27, 2010
Guest Author: Jessica Coulter Smith
For those of you who have been following the Ashton Grove Werewolves series, I’m sure you noticed that book 4 was a little shorter than usual. I promise there was a method to my madness, and it all has to do with the ending. Instead of tying up all loose ends like I typically do, I’ve left it open. As Connor and Colin are brothers, it only seemed fitting that their stories would intertwine, so the end of book 4 blends with the first few chapters of book 5 – setting the stage, so to speak. At this time, Colin’s story is set for a late fall 2010 or early spring 2011 release. My publisher for the series is growing in leaps and bounds and has added many wonderful authors, which means they have more releases to plan each year.
Right now, the Ashton Grove series is set up for 8 books, which is another reason the releases are starting to be spread apart a bit more. The series is already half way over and we don’t want to rush it. Does that mean that book 8 is definitely the end? Not necessarily. That’s just as far as I’ve planned for the moment. However, there is a secondary character intriduced in book 4 who just may get his own sequel, possibly even a series devoted to his whacky life. It’s still brewing in my mind at the moment…
If you’ve visited my author page lately, you know I’ve also started writing YA paranormal romances. The first one, Heart’s Desire, was released in April 2010. My next YA, The Demon’s Princess, will be released in October. It doesn’t mean I’m not still dedicated to my beloved boys in Ashton Grove, I’m just spreading my wings a bit.
Enjoy the Ashton Grove Werewolves? You might also like the Luna Werewolves series, based in the small (fictional) town of Windsor, Georgia.

Guest Author, Julie Kimbrell and “Mr. Irresistible”
Posted by: paigewarren on: November 8, 2009
Mr. Irresistible came to me after I actually heard someone’s name called over the intercom at Wal-Mart one morning and thought that would be a great way to start a book. To me, the funny thing about the beginning of Mr. Irresistible is that I know everyone that reads it can identify with Kate.
We’ve all stood at that customer service desk at some point, whether it be to return an item or get change for a dollar for your kids to use in the arcade. (I do that a lot). I always seem to get that one clerk/worker that’s mad at the world and hasn’t brushed their teeth or washed their hair in months. They look at you like you’re crazy and make you feel about an inch tall.
Mr. Irresistible was really fun to write. It began to flow once I had the first chapter written. My hero, Gage Morgan, had to be very manly in order to compliment the femininity of Kate Simon. The Harley worked perfectly as well as being the bartender and manager. He had the power and brains. The fact they work together made the conflict stronger and Kate more frustrated.
Of course, I love happy endings so Kate and Gage eventually worke through all their reservations but not before the crash bang ending that will, for sure, surprise the reader. What will happen? Will Gage’s friend find a way to take Kate away? Will Gage lose the bar?

Mr. Irresistible

Coming Spring 2010
rom Wild Horse Press
Blurb for Mr. Irresistible:
This story is about Kate Simon, a sensible, independent young woman, who’s thrown for a loop when Gage Morgan steps into her life. She’s not ready for the feelings that result every time they’re together, which is often since she’s helping him run his friend’s new bar. For some reason, he’s irresistible. Gage is so motivated to make the business successful for his friend, he struggles with his feelings for Kate as well. Does he have time for a relationship? Could it be love? And what will happen when Gage’s selfish friend, Charlie decides he wants Kate for himself. Can Gage keep his so-called friend from ruining everything?
An unproofed Excerpt:
As Kate Simon pushed her shopping cart down the frozen foods aisle of Duffy’s Grocery, the intercom made an annoyingly loud beep.
“Kate Simon, please come to the front of the store. Kate Simon, please come to the front of the store,” a woman’s voice blared overhead.
At first, she felt startled to hear her name blasted throughout the store but immediately she knew what was going on. Slowly, Kate turned the big silver cart around and made her way to the Customer Service Desk at the front of the store. A tall plump woman with greasy hair stood behind the register, with a bored look plastered to her face. When she opened her mouth to speak, Kate noticed there were about three teeth in the woman’s mouth, and cringed at the sight.
“Can I help you?” she asked.
Kate had a teeth fetish and considered them very important. She believed teeth were the first thing a person noticed about a person and first impressions were everything. Being a dental hygienist, Kate was very judgmental when it came to a person’s mouth. There was no excuse for bad teeth. Just brush and floss. That’s it.
“I’m Kate Simon,” she told the clerk.
The woman, whose name tag read Ruby, gave Kate a blank stare.
“You have a phone call.” She handed the phone to Kate then crossed her arms and waited.
Kate’s eight month pregnant sister, Karly happened to be the only one who knew she had gone to the grocery store. Fear dashed through Kate for a second and she wondered if Karly had gone into labor?
“Hello,” she answered cautiously.
“Kate, I’m so sorry to bother you….”
Kate cut her off. “Are you okay? Are you going into labor?”
“No, I’m fine. Could you bring me some Rolaids. I’m dying here.”
With an eye roll, she turned her back on Ruby to get a little bit of privacy. “Why didn’t you just call my cell phone?” Kate whispered and relaxed.
“I did,” Karly said, “but you left it here, at my house. I heard it vibrating on top of my dresser.”
Kate fumbled around to check her purse for the phone. It wasn’t there. Then she remembered laying it down while she made the list of things Karly needed her to get at the store. Karly’s husband, David had gone out of town for a convention and left Karly home alone. He should feel lucky being the dentist, and my boss, or I would’ve unleashed the wrath of Kate on him. What kind of man, with a medical degree, decides to leave his very pregnant wife alone for three days?

Ashton Grove Werewolves
Posted by: paigewarren on: October 8, 2009
Ms. Jessica Coulter Smith has a new book coming out this month — Moonlight Guardian — book 3 in her Ashton Grove Werewolves series. This rather popular series is predominantly about a set of brothers who shapeshift into werewolves, but she has added some delightful secondary characters who will also have a chance to have their stories heard in the near future.
Book Blurb:
Chloe Stevens is on her last leg. She found a guy she thought was great, only to end up pregnant and have the guy vanish into thin air. Then she lost her job and consequently, her car. Now she’s facing eviction. Five months pregnant, no job, no car, and now no home have forced Chloe to do the one thing she swore she wouldn’t… contact the father of her baby. She may have just been a fling to Michael, but their few days together had meant more to her.
When a pregnant Chloe shows up looking for Michael, he’s stunned to find out that he’s going to be a father. Can he convince the head-strong woman to give him a second chance?
Michael is surprise to say the least to find out Chloe is pregnant. A cold dose of reality is what he needed to realize his life is lacking something important – a mate and a family of his own. Convincing Chloe to stay by his side isn’t going to be easy, but he knows he has to give it a shot. What he doesn’t count on is a little competition for her affection.
When Kiera and Gabriel throw a party inviting the entire pack to meet Chloe, Ramsey takes the opportunity to get to know the spunky redhead. She might be carrying another werewolf’s child, but she hasn’t been claimed as a mate – yet. Deciding to give Michael a run for his money, Ramsey sets out to win Chloe for himself.
With two men trying to win her heart, Chloe feels more confused than ever. She’d like to believe that Michael has changed, but can she risk her heart and her baby? Ramsey claims to care for her and can offer her and her baby a stable home life. Will that be enough or should she hold out for the all-consuming love that she sees in the couples around her?
Blurb of Moonlight Champion:
After a long day, Connor Tierney decides to kick back at home and relax. With his beer mid-way to his mouth, there’s suddenly a flash of light and he finds an unconscious woman in his lap. One look at the bruises covering her small body tells him that she’s in need of rescuing. To make matters even more interesting, he knows right off that she’s his mate.
Aislinn Walsh hasn’t had it easy. She spends most of her days hiding in romance novels, seeing as how her husband wouldn’t know the meaning of the word. An abusive alcoholic, he beats her on a regular basis. During one of his attacks, Aislinn wishes that she could be transported into one of her books, finding her knight in shining armor. Little did she realize, it would be more like knight in furry armor!

Blood of the Beast
Detective Valentina Kureyev had been assigned to one of the worst cases of the century. A serial killer haunted the streets, depositing bloodless corpses throughout the section of town known as Little Europe. She hadn’t a clue to the identity of the culprit, as the appearance of more bodies had begun to cause terror and panic. The case was hopeless. The terror was real. As real as Demetri Petronov. The Professor of Russian Antiquities had been targeted with the murderer’s special form of a calling card. Val couldn’t turn away from his offer of aide in the bizarre case, even though he whispered tales of the beast feeding on human blood. He was the primary suspect.
My Lord Raven
….I speak of a love that happens betwixt a man and a woman but once in a lifetime… Dante Burroughs was unaware of the hidden promises whispered in the ancient phrase, or of the dreams that would torment him. Unfulfilled dreams of a woman, whose soul had been promised to the Ravensmoors centuries past. Kathleen Bennett knew the torment. Dreams filled with the image of blue eyed man, whispering promises that were locked in her heart. A time would come, when the souls of the past would collide….
