Passions flare when
the cold moon rises…
Kelly: a normal college
girl, who knows what she wants—to survive her final exams, and find someone to
share her life with. Studying with Jacob
is becoming too hot to handle; she’s falling for him, but he’s going too fast…
Jacob: a not-so-typical
frat guy, who hides a secret—he’s a werewolf. Whenever the moon is high, he’s
driven to shed his human form and satisfy his powerful desires. He craves
Kelly, but she’s pushing him away…
Fallout: Jacob can smell
Kelly’s arousal, but she insists she doesn’t want sex. A wolf can only take so
much before his natural instincts win out. When the tension between them
explodes, Jacob has no choice but to walk…
Kidnapped! Kelly is abducted
by evil scientists who’ve mistaken her for a female werecat and, despite their
differences, Jacob has to try and find her. But it’s a race against time and
the lunar tides. The scientists have taken Kelly to their lab and turned her
into a shapeshifter for real. The full moon is rising, and soon neither Kelly
nor Jacob will be able to control their inner beasts. Who knows what the
consequences will be when they are consumed by unquenchable animal lust…

Excerpt 1:
With
Jacob this close, it took every ounce of focus to keep my thoughts on the
impending exam. More than once, I caught myself staring at his lips wondering
how soft they’d be as they kissed my skin. I only hoped he didn’t notice my
glances that might make things highly embarrassing.
The
fresh scent of my clean sheets ever so slightly mixed with his musky, warm
aroma that fascinated me to no end. The way his hair moved when he turned his
head in my direction caught my attention. His presence in the apartment made
life seem more bearable, from the studying to the incredibly noisy neighbor who
thought everyone wanted to hear his heavy metal albums all throughout the
night.
“Think
you’re up for a break, Kelly?” He shut his textbook with a loud clap and
quirked his lips to one side. “We’ve been going at it for a while now.”
My
notecards toppled from my hands, and I jerked back, caught off-guard by his
words. “Uh, yeah...” If we’d really been ‘going at it,’ I would’ve refused to
take a break. Stop thinking about him
like that. “Yes, that sounds good. Want something else to drink? Maybe a
coffee or Coke?”
The
amused twinkle in his emerald green eyes melted my insides. Maybe studying on
my bed hadn’t been the best idea. However, the dinette set would barely be
enough room for one of our textbooks, let alone...
“Water.”
Jacob leaned over me, brushing his palm over my exposed knee as he reached for
the fallen study cards. “It’s kind of hot in here, isn’t it?”
He
had to be kidding me. With him this close, it was like a sauna in here. I
wanted to touch him, show him that all of this flirting was more than I could
handle. My heart pounded in my ears. If I didn’t do something to him soon, I
might explode.
As
if on cue, he turned to face me. Our lips were barely inches apart, and I saw
flecks of gold in his green eyes. Seconds ticked by. Was he going to make a
move? I didn’t have the strength to sit by and not take this chance. Not if it
meant this brief encounter would pass by forgotten.
I
leaned into him. The moment our lips touched, a spark of lust... desire...
chemistry burned its way inside me. One brush of lips wasn’t nearly enough. My
body thirsted for more kisses.
Jacob
froze in place, and I wondered for a split second if what I felt was only me.
Maybe the flirting had been meaningless to him. He pulled me up so we stood
beside my bed. His messy blond hair brushed across his forehead, and I ran my
hand through his hair, savoring the softness.
He
held me ever closer, his lips caressing mine. The kiss was gentle, careful as
if afraid to take things too fast. This moment was heaven.
My
arms circled his neck of their own volition, and I trailed my hands down Jacob’s
back. The hard muscles flexing beneath my fingertips sent heat coursing through
me. This so wasn’t a good use of our study time, especially now that final
exams were on top of us, but I really didn’t care.
He’d
been the only stable thing in my life since I’d come to college last September.
We had three classes together that first semester, which was kind of crazy, but
I didn’t mind. Ever since, we planned our courses together, as much as we
could, at least.
Two
of the three classes we had this semester were science and math, so I didn’t
hesitate to take him up on study sessions. Fortunately, the last was English,
my forte.
Jacob
nibbled on my ear lobe, and tingles of pleasure blanketed my body. “Your skin
is so soft, Kelly.” He slid his hands along the hem of my skirt stroking the
backs of my thighs, the intensity of his touch growing less controlled by the
second. His palm brushed against my backside.
If
this kept up, we’d hit the point of no return. The simple kiss had gone far
beyond what I’d anticipated. While I really enjoyed making out with Jacob, I
wasn’t ready for sex with him. Intimacy shouldn’t be rushed. I wanted to wait
for the right one, for a committed relationship. One-night stands weren’t in my
vocabulary.
Besides,
why give something away too fast? Most guys moved on after sex, right? Not that
I suspected Jacob was that way. Besides, I counted on him studying with me.
Without his help, my chances of doing well on finals for College Algebra and
Physics were slim to none.
He
slid his hands higher as his tongue slipped down the length of my neck, making
my insides weak along with my self-restraint. A moan rasped from my throat, and
for a moment, I wasn’t sure that had been my voice.
Could going to bed with him be that
bad?

Interview:
I would like to thank author Sarah Mäkelä for stopping by today to tell us a little about herself and her work.
How long did it take you to write Cold Moon Rising?
It took me
about three weeks (off and on) since I was juggling other projects at the same
time.
If you were stranded on a desert island which of your
characters do you want by your side?
If
I were stranded on a desert island with one of my characters, I’d probably want
it to be with Ethan Parker, the hero of The Witch Who Cried Wolf (Cry Wolf #1).
He’s a soldier, so I’m sure he’d be quite resourceful.
If you could be best friends with one of your characters,
who would it be?
If I could be best friends with one of my characters, I think I’d be best friends with Mia, the
heroine of The Witch Who Cried Wolf.
She’s a witch that crafts all types of potions, so I’d like to think I could
ask for anything. However, I know that there are repercussions from using
potions for greed.
What books have most influenced your life?
Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series
inspired me to write in the paranormal genre. Before reading her work, I mostly
read historical romance.
What is your typical day like?
I don’t really have typical days. It depends on what’s going on at the
moment.
What book are you reading now?
First Moon by Michelle Fox
What do you prefer paperback, hardcover, or ebooks?
I’m not crazy about hardcover (price and
the way they fit in my hand), but I do like paperback and now ebooks. I tend to
get more ebooks these days, mostly because it so easy and convenient. I still
do get favorite authors in paperback though.
Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your
readers?
I love to hear from my readers!
Send me an email or contact me through Facebook and/or Twitter.
