Elements of Mischief by C.M. Stunich & Tate James blitz

Elements of Mischief
Tate James & C.M. Stunich
(Hijinks Harem #1)
Publication date: October 5th 2017
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

Four hunky, supernatural plumbers.

One reluctant, slightly drunk human.

A match made in heaven…or in the bathroom, rather.

My name is Arizona Smoke, and I’m the proud owner of a house haunted by my dead Gram, best friend to a cocktail dress loving werewolf, and apparent soul mate to four plumbers who also happen to be elemental dragons. Besides rippling pectorals, tattoos, and…uh, nice, long pipes, the guys also have control of the elements.

Supernatural law (whoever heard of such a thing anyway?) dictates that since I stumbled upon the guys in their alternate forms, I have to marry them. All four of them. Oh, and apparently one lousy (okay, awesome) night of sex means that I’m an elemental, too—and no amount of magical penicillin can cure this disease.

All I wanted was hot running water and toilets that flushed, but now I’m dealing with monsters lurking in the sewers, supernatural politics, and four penniless (but totally hot) plumbers living in my crumbling old Victorian.

I’m Ari Smoke, wine aficionado, ex-barista, and a girl who is completely out of her element.

Having four hot husbands is nice…but the death threats, not so much.

Author Bio:

Tate James was born and raised in the Land of the Long White Cloud (New Zealand) but now lives in Australia with her husband, baby and furbaby.

C.M. Stunich is a self-admitted bibliophile with a love for exotic teas and a whole host of characters who live full time inside the strange, swirling vortex of her thoughts. Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn’t mind – especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed.

She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she’s not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She’s the author of over thirty novels – romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There’s a heck of a lot to do there.

Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She’s already looking forward to it.

She’s his life mate. But Beth is tough, fearless, beautiful…and in immortal
danger. Unless he wants to lose her forever, he’ll have to rethink everything
he once believed about love and destiny as well as confront an enemy who’s
terrifyingly close.

Chapter
One

"Tybo, it's
time to move," Beth said into her headset as she watched the garage door
drop closed.

"And thank
God for that. We've been camping out here all night in the cold and mud. I'm
done in," came the complaint over the headset.

"We all
are," Beth said grimly. "So quit your bitchin' and move into position
or I'll come find you and kick your arse."

"God, Beth,
I love how your accent comes out when you're annoyed. It's so Eliza
Doolittle." Tybo's voice was smooth and full of laughter this time. It
made her suspect he'd complained just to get a reaction out of her, especially
when he added, "I like it best when you talk dirty. It just revs my
engine."

"Dirty?"
she asked with surprise.

"Ummm
hmmm," Tybo crooned. "You said arse."

Beth covered the
mouthpiece of her headset as a bark of laughter slipped from her lips. She
hadn't worked with Tybo long, but was quickly learning the man was a character.
Shaking her head, she removed her hand from her mouthpiece and said, "Stop
flirting with me, you cheeky bastard, and move into posit—"

A choked sound
and the rustle of cloth from her earpiece made her stop talking and listen
instead before she said, "Tybo? Tybo?"

Beth paused a
heartbeat to wait for a response, and then said, "Valerian? Do you see
Tybo?" Silence was her only answer.

"Ah
hell," she muttered. Slipping out from behind the tree she'd been using
for cover, Beth started moving quickly in Tybo's direction. She had the dart
gun she'd been issued in one hand, but her sword in the other. It was the sword
that saved her. Before Beth reached the spot where she'd ordered Tybo to take
cover, the dart gun was abruptly kicked from her grip. She never saw it coming,
but reacted instinctively, sword hand coming up and swinging hard even as she
turned toward her assailant. She caught him at the base of the throat where it
met his shoulder. The blade went deep, slicing better than halfway through his
neck.

Beth yanked it
out, grimacing at the sucking sound it made. She watched the man topple
sideways to the ground, and then quickly wiped the blade off on her attacker's
coat before grabbing up the dart gun she'd dropped. Shooting him with it to
ensure he didn't heal and rise too quickly, she then turned and continued
forward. Beth found Tybo on his back in the mud some twelve feet from where
she'd been attacked. There was a knife in his chest.

"You should
have moved when I told you to," Beth muttered as she bent to tug the
ivory-handled knife from his heart. He didn't open his eyes and sit up at once,
but she hadn't expected him to. He'd need some time to heal. Beth reached into
the satchel hanging at her side, pulled out a bag of blood and then opened his
mouth. She had to massage his upper gums briefly to get his fangs to slide out,
but then she slapped the bag to them.

Leaving Tybo
where he lay, Beth straightened and glanced around before continuing along the
path. Valerian had been positioned another thirty feet ahead in the woods
surrounding the house. She found the hunter exactly where she expected, also
with a knife to the heart. As she removed it, Beth noted that it was a
duplicate of the knife that had been in Tybo's chest.

Tossing the
blade aside, Beth slapped a bag of blood onto Valerian's fangs as well before
turning to peer through the bushes at the house they'd been watching since just
after sunset. It had been empty by the time they'd got their orders from
Mortimer at the Enforcer house and made their way here. The inhabitants, a
rogue immortal and his minions, had already been gone by then, probably to hunt
up new victims. Beth, Tybo, and Valerian had sat here awaiting their return for
most of the night and now it was almost dawn, but a few minutes ago a van had
pulled into the driveway. The garage door had opened, the van had pulled in,
and the door had closed without them ever seeing how many people were in the
vehicle. Which was why Beth had ordered Tybo to approach the house. They needed
to know how many rogues they were dealing with and what the situation was. It
was vital to their approach. If there were innocent mortals who needed saving,
for instance, it would affect how they handled everything.

It seemed,
however, that their presence hadn't gone unnoticed, and one of the returning
rogues had managed to slip out unseen and sneak up on them. Her question now
was whether that was the only one. Had the newly turned rogue just been sent
out to check around and happened upon them? Or had they been spotted and he was
sent out to take care of them? And if so, how many others, if any, were out
scouring the trees surrounding the house, looking for them? Aside from whether
there were innocents around, Beth also needed to know many rogues were inside
besides Walter Simpson, the master rogue of this group. Unfortunately, getting
those answers and doing anything with them would be hard since her entire, and
very tiny, team was now incapacitated except for herself.

Cursing under
her breath, Beth took a quick glance around and then moved to the nearest tree
and swiftly climbed up into the branches. She settled on a large, sturdy branch
fifteen feet up, took a moment to be sure that she had a good view of the
surrounding area and that no one could sneak up on her, and then slid her cell
phone from her pocket.

Mortimer
answered on the first ring. "Problem?"

A damaged hockey player. A smart-mouthed TV reporter. Put them together, and it’s more than a conflict of interest…

He had everything going for him: fame, fortune, a promising career, and his pick of women. But when he made an abrupt exit from the NHL, everything changed and he’s been in hiding ever since.

After interning all summer at the top television station in the Twin Cities, Casey lands an on-air gig. Trouble is, the new role is Sports Girl—which means reporting from local bars and tailgating parties to create excitement for the hometown heroes. All while wearing tiny team jerseys that are so tight they leave little to the imagination.

But she has a plan. Uncover the biggest sports mystery of the decade, and she’ll be on her way. Question is, how far will she go to get the story?

EXCERPT:

I am ashamed to say the bouncing worked. I got the job.

And though Jonathan wanted to go out and celebrate, I wasn’t sure this news warranted such extremes. The steady paycheck, however, gave me all the feels.

My first week on the job was a blur of hair and make-up appointments; jersey fittings; tours of all the pro and college stadiums in the Twin Cities; meetings with the other girls and crew; and study sessions about the Wild lineup. I was selected as the new ambassador of hockey.

“Pass me that chicken cutlet,” Mackenzie said, looking at me through the mirror as she fussed with her cleavage.

I was getting ready to do my promo spots for the season and Mack was about to head out for her Monday Night Football cut-in. While I was new to hockey, Mackenzie had covered Vikings football for the past two years.

“The what?” I asked, confused as to why she wanted to eat a piece of chicken when she was almost ready to go on air.

“That fake boob over there.” She nodded to the table behind me. “The piece of silicone that looks like a chicken cutlet with a nipple on it?”

“Oh.” I slapped a hand to my forehead. “Of course, the chicken cutlet.”

Mackenzie sighed, clearly annoyed with my sarcasm.

Yes, she might have looked like a bimbo, but she wasn’t stupid.

“Don’t judge,” she said. “I’m trying to up my ratings and not all of us are blessed with a spectacular rack like you, K.C.”

She paused between each letter, over annunciating my on-air name. All the Sports Girls went by their first name only. Some real; some fake. I had the feeling Mackenzie was really born a Jill or Jane. She loved to go for the more elaborate (shall we say, enhanced) version of herself. Her name also allowed for some fun banter with her viewers — mainly a bunch of horny college boys and middle-aged men who were fond of saying they were having a Mack Attack.

Our sports producer, Phil, loved her. She brought in the best ratings and her public appearances were standing room only. She made him look good, and that’s really all he cared about. Phil was a bit older than I, maybe late twenties, and on the fast track. The guy lived at the station and ate fast food round the clock. He had a paunchy belly and skin so pale it looked like he hadn’t seen daylight in years. The crew called him The Mole. And though his appearance was unpleasant at best, his personality was even worse.

When I told him I didn’t want to use a stage name, that I’d rather use my given name of Casey Scott so that I could put my stand-ups on my reel when I applied for actual reporting jobs, he dismissed me with a pat on the head. I shit you not.

“Well, for one,” he began, taking great pleasure in schooling me, “you’re not allowed to use your last name. There are creepers out there and we don’t need anyone stalking you. And two, we need something a little more memorable. Let’s at least spice up your first name. Use the initials K.C. instead of the spelled-out version. It’s more fun that way. And shit knows, we need all the fun we can get with you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked.

“Look,” he said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I shook it off and took a step back.

He groaned. “See, this is what I’m talking about. Jonathan recommended you and I respect him. You had a great audition and your looks obviously fit the bill. You’re a hot girl. It’s just that you’re too serious. Our viewers like easy, breezy. This isn’t CNN for fuck’s sake. Can you just take it down a notch?”

I hated that little mole right from the start.

“Sure,” I said, all sweet. “I get it now. You want me to go out there, introduce the players and games, give a slice of life as a fan, shake my tits, and pretend I don’t have a brain in my head? Is that the gist?”

“Now you got it.” He laughed. “Work on your reel on your own time. And if you bring me a good story, I might even air it.”

He was such a dick, but he was right.

That’s exactly what I had to do — spend every spare second working on my reel. I’d come up with something so good, Phil wouldn’t be able to resist. The only issue was that he usually worked on longer pieces for the sweeps ratings periods (just four times a year in November, February, May, and July). With only a few weeks left in the month, I wouldn’t have time to get something in for November sweeps, but I could make the next period in February. Still, I’d have to work fast to come up with something that would get his rocks off.

In the meantime, I would have to stay on his good side.

UNCANNY by Sarah Fine

Cora should remember every detail about the night her stepsister, Hannah, fell down a flight of stairs to her death, especially since her Cerepin—a sophisticated brain-computer interface—may have recorded each horrifying moment. But when she awakens after that night, her memories gone, Cora is left with only questions—and dread of what the answers might mean.

When a downward spiral of self-destruction forces Cora to work with an AI counselor, she finds an unexpected ally, even as others around her grow increasingly convinced that Hannah’s death was no accident. As Cora’s dark past swirls chaotically with the versions of Hannah’s life and death that her family and friends want to believe, Cora discovers the disturbing depths of what some people may do—including herself.

With her very sanity in question, Cora is forced to face her greatest fear. She will live or die by what she discovers.

Interview with Mark Tufo

Where do you get inspiration for your stories?

I get my inspiration from everyday observations and interactions. I believe that when you write or actually create anything you are influenced by all you see, pieces of it cannot help but flow onto your page, your music or your canvas. Of course it will always carry your slant, the unique way you view the world.

How did you do research for your book?

Well luckily with fiction you can’t really hold my feet to the fire, so there is quite a bit of range and latitude I am given. On occasion I will do some serious internet hunting for what I need or I will rely on the incredible talents of my editor to correct my mistakes.

Do you have another profession besides writing?

Professional Fencer (is there such a thing?) Seriously though I have been lucky enough to have the support of enough readers and fans to do what I love and that is write professionally. And it is most definitely a full time job.

If you could go back in time, where would you go?

There are so many moments in time where incredible historical events have taken place and to see just one of them…oh who am I kidding, I’m going to see dinosaurs.

What is your next project?

I am currently working on Zombie Fallout 11, yeah that’s not a typo, the series I thought was going to consist of 1 book is now entering 11, weird sometimes how things work out!
