GUEST BLOGGER: Dehanna Bailee

This week's guest blogger is Dehanna Bailee, who writes much in the same vein as myself ( werewolves!). Please welcome her! Comments are welcome!

My name is Dehanna and I've been in the industry for almost a decade. My debut novel was a paranormal romance titled "True Nature," which was received well by readers and reviewers, and since its release I had some fans who'd been quietly nudging me to write another werewolf-based tale, thus came "For Better or Worse."

Published by LiteraryRoad.com, "For Better or Worse" is a modern-day story about a woman, Sandra, who just wanted a simple life with some sense of normalcy--what she has is a home invasion gone terribly wrong, an old boyfriend hot on the prowl, and one very, very angry husband--which leaves the question, will this werewolf in hiding be able to prove she isn’t going to leave her husband while trying to protect him from the consequences of an unanticipated slaying?

This short excerpt is where Sandra runs into her "hot-on-the-prowl" ex-boyfriend at a convention:

She paused, running the fingers of one hand up his jacket as if to straighten his lapels. “Look, I know it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other but I do have other reasons for attending and I don’t want anyone to think--”

“Think what, Sandra? That you’re enjoying a wonderful evening in the company of an old friend? What wrong can come of that?”

An intimate image came to mind. “I can think of--”

“As can I, but even if I’m a creature of the night, I’m still honorable. I won’t go beyond the bounds you set.”

“Yes. I know. It’s just...”

“What? You don’t know if you’re the one who can keep them?”

Kahne pulled away, q shining gleam of humor tinged with desire surfacing in his deep green eyes. She bit her lower lip then dropped her gaze. “Things aren’t like that anymore.”

He lifted her chin with his knuckle. “Are they not? I’m no fool, Sandra.”

She stepped away from him. A chilly breeze encircled her, dousing some of the heat. His attraction was magnetic. He could have any woman he wished for but it seemed his heart was still hers, just as it had been so long ago. Yet, things had changed. He’d been reassigned overseas. And the long distance relationship simply didn’t work for her. She wanted consistency. Regularity. Normalcy.

Sandra paused at the edge of the rail, letting her gaze drift out across the vast expanse of mountains. Seeing the endless places to roam before her made her itch to explore the wilds further.

Kahne came up behind and encircled her waist, planting a small kiss on her shoulder. His heat warmed her from the chill while her mind screamed a warning.

“Tell me,” Kahne whispered. “What is it he has that I don’t...”
