Well, he was also in <b><i>Staring Into the Eyes of Chance<\/i><\/b> as that is book 1 in my <i>Lycan International Investigation Series<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Smoke is a culprit, the villain, the notorious, dangerous rogue of all rogues. A fall off a cliff left him with an open sunken cheek (shows a few of his teeth) and a milky blind eye. It definitely gives the impression he\u2019s a bad-ass, even though on the short side in stature (runt of the litter), his wild appearance and muscularly buff bod keeps larger opponents at bay.<\/p>\n<p>He comes from a paranormal dysfunctional family\u2026or so it is to him. Smoke isn\u2019t his real name, but it works for him since his brother, Chance, the Alpha leader of the LIIA headquarters in Upper Michigan, constantly tracks him and his rogue pack.<\/p>\n<p>Smoke plans a major take-over. He\u2019s had his fill of the Elders creating rules and over-seeing who lives and who dies. It\u2019s time for a new league of justice or injustice\u2026and he\u2019ll do anything to get what he wants. Even if it means kidnapping, impregnating, slaughtering, drugging, or anything else required in making it happen.<\/p>\n<p>I had him dead to rights\u2026seriously, dying in book 2 (Savage Smoke). I played hell writing the last chapters because his lights were out for good\u2026but, he kept kicking and yelling, insisting he should get the chance of redemption, AND he demanded something else, too. Something he never had before\u2026and it was his due to claim it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, after much deliberation and rewrites\u2026and suckin\u2019 it up\u2013he lives. Got his dang wish come true, too\u2026but you\u2019ll have to read it to find out what that part of the equation isJ <i>*Big deep sigh* <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Yes, so Smoke lives on for book 3, <b><i>Smoke \u2018n Bliss<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~*~<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Excerpt from Savage Smoke<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Savage Smoke\" href=\"http:\/\/museituppublishing.com\/bookstore2\/index.php?page=shop.product_details&amp;flypage=flypage.tpl&amp;product_id=739&amp;category_id=8&amp;keyword=savage+smoke&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=1&amp;vmcchk=1&amp;Itemid=1\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-313\" alt=\"Savage Smoke Cover\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/SavageSmokeCover-203x300.jpg\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/SavageSmokeCover-203x300.jpg 203w, http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/SavageSmokeCover.jpg 246w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a>So far, Smoke didn\u2019t share Lindsey with other males, but she was aware of the orgies inside the central building. She heard a few women talk of them. Some even liked them, being surrounded by hard-bodied men hung like rocket launchers. Those women went at it without the use of the stimulation drug Smoke used on everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>She was used to the little needle pricks and welcomed them. It made acting the part with Smoke so much easier, believing in her heart Trevor made love to her, but guarding that fact from Smoke by holding Trevor\u2019s name in the secret place, locked safely away.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsey understood some of the sexual attraction. She had that once, but she couldn\u2019t go there in her mind. Smoke searched her thoughts almost daily and always found if she\u2019d tapped into any memory nuggets of people she loved. He possessed psychic abilities others didn\u2019t. Already, the thoughts of Trevor that had emerged she\u2019d need to bury before Smoke returned.<\/p>\n<p>If an orgy ensued during their pack meeting, Smoke would be preoccupied for a good while. She reached her arm underneath the mattress, where a few weeks ago she saw Smoke slide his journal. Lindsey had fallen asleep with her back to the fireplace. A crack of thunder wakened her in time to witness Smoke closing a journal and placing it beneath the mattress they shared.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsey touched its leather cover, wrapped her fingers around it, and hauled it out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~*~<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>About Kay Dee Royal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/kaydee_avatar_xs_40868001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-315\" alt=\"Kay Dee Royal\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/kaydee_avatar_xs_40868001-245x300.jpg\" width=\"106\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/kaydee_avatar_xs_40868001-245x300.jpg 245w, http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/kaydee_avatar_xs_40868001.jpg 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 106px) 100vw, 106px\" \/><\/a>Kay Dee Royal writes paranormal, fantasy, and contemporary erotic romance\u2014maybe because it&#8217;s also her favorite genres to read!
