Welcome to the Marketing for Romance Writers Steam Hop! Today, I’m sharing another excerpt from book one in my Fated Fairytales series, Scarlett and the Big Bad.
The story is a sizzling retelling of Red Riding Hood (with a few tidbits from The Three Little Pigs). If sexy shifters, magical foes, and fated mates are your jam, you can’t miss this one.
The e-book comes out next month, but is available for pre-order now. I’ll also be releasing in paperback.
Title: Scarlett and the Big Bad
Series: Fate Fairytales 1
Author: Sierra Brave
Release Date: March 9, 2021
Sales Blurb:
Promised power and position, Scarlett Capuche left her tiny village to join the prestigious Order of the Phoenix.
Brooding alpha, Monty Blackwolf never wanted a mate, especially not a human raised on a hidden farm for blood-ritual sacrifice. But his werewolf’s heightened sense of smell drew him to Scarlett’s sweet fragrance from miles away.
Duty-bound to protect her, he will break her of her religious devotion to the magical terrorist group responsible for the murders of his parents and older brother, even if he has to put her over his knee and turn her bottom as red as her hair.
She belongs to him now, and he will claim all of her despite his affliction with a unique, third shifter-form he doesn’t fully understand and isn’t able to control.
Will Monty save Scarlett, or will he prove more dangerous to her than anyone else?
Author’s Note: If you’re offended by steamy fairytale retellings with graphic language, explicit put-you-in-the-moment love scenes, elements of power exchange, and domestic discipline, you might want to look for a different book.Blurb:

Teaser:
As she relaxed against him, his heart drummed against her back, the beat syncing with hers. The lump in her throat dissolved as her chest rose and fell with his.
She stared at the ceiling. The lights appeared to blur as she mewed and groaned. His hands, big and rough, worshiped her skin, every inch touched, washed, tenderly explored but never exploited. After a while, Scarlett blinked and stretched, realizing the naked girl staring at her was her reflection. Monty patted her dry as she sat on the edge of the tub.
“What happened?” Her heart pounded as confusion nipped at her brain.
Standing with only a towel wrapped around his hips, his six firm abdominals close to her eye level, he shrugged. “We had a bath. I think you might have dozed off a little. It’s been a long day.”
She tapped her finger against her lip as he hung up the wet towels before grabbing a fresh one. She most certainly had not been asleep. Now back in her right mind, she remembered every slight movement of his hand, every turn of his fingertips, the coiling in her stomach as the tantalizing sensations coaxed forth primal feelings she’d never imagined she’d possessed. She recalled breathing in his scent so deeply she could taste it even as they laved the fragrance away, and she had fantasized about him manhandling her, forcing her legs open and entering her even though he had not.

Fascinating snippet, Sierra!
Ooh, I like fairytale retellings, especially steamy ones.
Nice nap.
tweeted.
Thanks, Lisabet!
This is one wolf I’d want to remember–so no napping for me, no matter how long the day has been! I love taking baths together. So sensuous.
Love the little excerpt. And love the premise of the novel.
Thanks, Maggie!
There’s nothing like a bath for that perfect combination of soothing and seduction.
Look at little Red Riding Hood taking control. I love rewriting fairytales and myths as modern romance. Fun snippet.
A neat adult twist on the classic fairy tale.
Thank you, Cie!
