The latest installment in Cary Redmond's adventures in Protectoring is out now! And wow is she in trouble this time. All in a days work for Portland's resident Protector, though, right?

THE TROUBLE WITH BABY GODS AND VAMPIRES
(Cary Redmond, Book 4)

EBook 

Trade Paperback: Amazon | BN | Book Depository  

Large Print: Paperback: Amazon | BN | Book Depository  

Trouble Throws a Curve… 

And not one Cary Redmond sees coming. In the early months of her seventh year as a magical Protector, discovering the Portland vampires behaving badly complicates Cary’s already complicated life. Learning the Master of Portland not only knows who she is but wants to meet her doesn’t help even a little bit.

With a wizard still skulking in the wings waiting to kill her and her latest Protector job tossing her into the middle of yet another crisis, the last thing Cary needs is vampire trouble. Even her developing relationship with her leopard shifter mate isn’t enough to distract from the shocks that just keep coming. And surviving her test year starts to look more and more impossible.

But she’s managed so far, she can get through this latest disaster. No problem for an ordinary woman with an extraordinary job…

If only life were that simple.

There's a free (exclusive) Tiger Shifters short story included when you sign up. And I will have a special story for newsletter subscribers later this year.

This new story will be released widely in 2021, so if you don't like getting too many newsletters, the book will still be available to purchase. But I'm giving my subscribers an early copy. So if you're interested in a crossover paranormal romance story between the Cary Redmond world and the Tiger Shifters world, you might consider joining the newsletter. I only send them out once a month at most (I promise!).

To Tempt a Tiger (Tiger Shifters 5)

~Can he win her heart in time to save her life...?

When adrenaline junkie and adventurer Rose Callaghan meets the man of her dreams and learns she’s carrying his child, she assumes she’ll be living her happily-ever-after. Until he accuses her of cheating on him and leaves. Four years later, she’s managing as a single parent, but her daughter is experiencing episodes of extreme pain and no one can tell her why or how to stop them. Rose swears she’ll do anything to help her daughter. She just doesn’t expect that “anything” to include facing her ex again. When he shows up out of nowhere offering answers, she takes him in. But his answers are the stuff of myth and make Rose start to doubt everything she’s ever known.

The first born son of a fanatical tiger shifter, Vlad Dubrovsky is prepared to abandon his family and his people to be with the human woman he loves. But when he finds out Rose is pregnant—something that’s impossible between a human and a tiger shifter—he returns to the tiger community heartbroken, convinced she’s betrayed him. Four years later, Vlad still wants Rose, and learning it is possible for them to have had a child together forces him to rethink everything he’s ever believed. But the only way to ensure Rose and her daughter are safe is to bring them into the tiger shifters’ world. A world full of powerful, deadly enemies who are just as fanatical as Vlad’s family, and just as intent on killing tiger-human hybrids. To protect the two people he loves most in the world, Vlad must convince Rose to trust him again...knowing his most difficult fight might just be for her heart.

For those who are reading the series out of order, a little warning. While TO TEMPT A TIGER can be read as a stand alone, it has a lot of tie-ins and some spoilers for HERE THERE BE TIGERS (Tiger Shifters 3). If you don't mind spoilers for previous books in a series, read away! If you do mind spoilers though, you might consider reading HERE THERE BE TIGERS first. Either way, I hope you enjoy this newest addition to the Tiger Shifters series!

And in more good news: HER TIGER TO TAKE (Tiger Shifters 4) just got an excellent 4 1/2 star review and Top Pick from Night Owl Reviews!

~"I read Her Tiger to Take in a day and loved it. Tiana is a great woman and doesn't take crap from anybody...."

Thanks, everyone! Happy Reading!

HER TIGER TO TAKE (Tiger Shifters, Book 4)
Out FEBRUARY 23, 2015!

Resisting her is impossible.

After a lifetime of fighting his own kind, Nikolai Chernikov has been in self-imposed isolation for years. The taint of his father’s crimes hangs over him, and of all the infamous Chernikov brothers, Nick is most like their father. The fear that madness is only one bad decision away has kept Nick from seeking a mate for more than ten years. Then she comes into his life—the sexiest, most stunning tiger shifter Nick has ever known. Tatiana is everything he wants. And everything he can’t have.

He’s the only man she’ll accept.

Tatiana Loban-Gupta has tried to find a mate for more than three years. She was starting to lose hope when she caught Nick’s scent and her entire body lit up with need and longing. She’ll defy the rules of their people to answer the combustible chemistry between them, even though getting caught could ruin everything. But Nick’s family history is a wall between them she’s not sure she can breach. A fight with a werewolf pack and facing off against the other tiger males seems easy compared to fighting Nick’s demons. Convincing him to return to the Mate Run will be the hardest thing she’s ever had to do, but for Tatiana, failure is not an option.

A LITTLE ADDITIONAL NEWS:

HERE THERE BE TIGERS (Tiger Shifters, Book 3) just got an excellent 5 star, Top Pick! review from Night Owl Reviews! I'm thrilled, especially because the lovely reviewer affirmed this can be a stand alone book (which means I did my job right; making these books stand alone is starting to get harder now that I'm working on Book 5 *g*)

Happy Reading!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the season.

COMING SOON

HERE THERE BE TIGERS (Tiger Shifters #3)

He’ll fight to the death and defy his people to keep her…

She shouldn’t exist.

When Nila De Luca finds out she’s the impossible offspring of a human father and a tiger shifter mother, she knows her life will never be the same. She refuses to be a pawn in tiger politics or to have her future dictated by other people’s agendas. But before she can settle her into her new life, she has to survive the vicious attacks of her mother’s mate and the covetous grab of a crazy tiger determined to use her for his own purposes. Her only ally is a sexy tiger shifter, a man she wants more than any other before, and with a passion that calls to her animal side.

He can’t have her.

Mitch Chernikov knows exactly how important Nila is to his people. She represents hope for their continued survival. His sole job is to keep her alive so she can fulfill that promise. He knows he won’t be allowed to keep her for himself. That knowledge doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Or from answering the passion that burns so fiercely between them. But to keep her, he’ll have to fight for her. And it will be a fight to the death.

Yay! The Day Has Arrived!!

Finally, after much technical difficulty and a delay, I'm able to bring you the second book in the Tiger Shifters series!

ALONG CAME A TIGER IS OUT NOW!

Currently, it's live at Amazon, All Romance eBooks, and Smashwords. I'll keep you updated on links to the other vendors as the book is distributed.

Never kill a human.

Daniel Borowski, Tracker and enforcer of tiger shifter law, faces an impossible choice when the woman he loves is set on breaking one of their people’s most fundamental rules—don’t kill humans. Daniel’s own sense of justice cries out for the life of the man who murdered one of their own, but killing him—especially in tiger form—is an automatic death sentence. Daniel loves Sarah too much to allow her to throw her life away for revenge. But preventing her from killing could cost him any chance at a future with her.

Her soul demands blood.

Sarah Chu never imagined losing her best friend so young and in such a gruesome way. Until then, she was focused on her career as a genetics researcher and trying to get pregnant during the Mate Run so she could be with the man she loves. After her friend’s murder, Sarah can think of little beyond ripping the man responsible to pieces. So when Daniel stops her from taking her revenge, anger and frustration make her lash out at him even as the chemistry between them roars through her. If she kills the human, she’ll sacrifice the life she imagined with Daniel. If she lets the human go, she’s not sure she’ll be able to live with herself.

Justice will come at a price.

To protect Sarah, Daniel will do whatever it takes, including finding another way to get justice. Even that might not be enough for her, though. But when the murderer comes after them, intend on torture and death, Daniel and Sarah will have to choose…destroy the killer or protect their own future. Because they can’t have both.

In the back of ALONG CAME A TIGER you'll find an excerpt for Book #3, HERE THERE BE TIGERS, which I hope will also wet your appetite for the next release this Fall! If you'd like to receive announcements of new releases, you can always sign up to my newsletter (link in the sidebar).

Thanks again for your patience with me on this second book. I think it was a test :) I hope you enjoy it. And thank you all for supporting the Tigers!

INTERVIEW: For a little more fun, I did an interview with Paulina at Dark Side of Romance. Stop in and see what I'd do if zombies took over the world!

Happy Reading!

Blurb, Excerpt and the Day is Almost Here!

I'm really starting to get excited about the release of ALONG CAME A TIGER (Tiger Shifters #2). We've officially moved the book on to the copyeditor. Almost there!

Here's the not-quite-official blurb. My editor is still having a go at this, so it might be tweaked (and/or rewritten *g*) before the book goes live.

I feel like it needs a da-da-daaaaa.....there.

I'm also posting an excerpt over at my blog. This might be tweaked a little in the final book too since this is taken from the pre-copyedited manuscript. Enjoy!

Watch this space (or join my newsletter--link in the sidebar) for the upcoming release! And for the curious, I'm going to start dropping a few hints about the next two books. Hint #1: The Chernikov brothers are about to make their first series appearances. They are yummy. You will be glad to see them. :)

Happy Reading!

COVER REVEAL!

I'm very excited to reveal both the title and the cover for Tiger Shifters #2!

But first, I just want to say, again, thank you so much to all of you who have taken a chance on the Tigers. I so appreciate your support. Thank you to everyone who has bought the book and a very sincere thank you to those of you who have posted reviews, good or bad, so that other readers can decide if this series is something they'd be interested in reading. Thank you!

Now, without further ado, here's the cover for Tiger Shifters #2 ALONG CAME A TIGER



Pretty, huh? *g* And yes, that's a white tiger in the background. Our hero shifts to a white tiger. More on the book--including an official blurb and an official release date--coming soon!

For those of you who are paying attention, the book is going to be released a little later than I hoped. After two months--literally!--of my boys and I trading off illnesses (first the oldest boy has a stomach flu, then the baby is sick, then I get sick just as the oldest gets hit with another stomach flu, then the husband gets sick, then the baby has an ear infection, then oldest boy throws up again... literally TWO MONTHS of this), I got the book to my editor late. The poor woman is soooo busy that we're still deep in edits to make sure the book is the best it can be. So the release will be delayed a little bit. Thank you for your patience! I promise to get it out as soon as it is as perfect as we can make it *g*

And I also promise to work in time for all these illnesses in the future :) (Kindergarten sends home way too many bugs!) As a little tease, Tiger Shifters #3 will be released this fall. And yes, illness time has been figured in to that release schedule *g* Thanks, everyone!

Happy Reading!

NEWSLETTER is finally here!

I've finally gotten around to setting up a newsletter. I'm sorry I've been slow to do this. The sign up form is on the sidebar (and another sign up form is located on my blog). My first newsletter will come out in conjunction with the release of the second Tiger Shifters book. Thanks to those of you who contacted me looking for this! That got me moving.

Happy Reading!

Welcome!

Welcome to the home of Kat Simons. Here you'll find information about my books, upcoming releases, appearances, and more.

The first book in my new paranormal romance series, ONCE UPON A TIGER, releases in mid-December, 2013.

She’ll never run.

Among the tiger shifters, Alexis Tarasova is regarded as fierce and dangerous, with a reputation that would make even the most daring tiger think twice about challenging her. Female tiger shifters may be rare and the mating run a critical part of their species’s survival, but Alexis is the only female Tracker and will not back down, even at the threat of tiger law. She will not be forced to mate. So when a handful of males band together to force her to participate in the run, Alexis chooses to stand her ground and fight instead.

He's forbidden to run.

Outcast from the tiger shifters after a vicious childhood attack left him mute, Victor Romanov has never taken part in the mate run. He’s never particularly cared, though, since the woman he loves refuses to take a mate. However, when he learns Alexis may be in danger, all bets are off. Nothing will keep him from her side.

Together, they're unmovable.

The chemistry between them burns wickedly hot and forges them into an unbeatable pair. Alexis knows that being with Victor means she will have to break another one of her people’s laws—a move that might push the tigers too far. But, for Victor, she will risk everything, including her life, and do what she thought she’d never do—run.

Please check it out and let me know what you think. I love hearing from readers, so don't be shy about dropping me an email!

The book will be available from Amazon, B&N, Kobo, Apple, Smashwords, and All Romance Ebooks.

Thanks for visiting. And welcome to the Tigers' world!
