    Crystal Dawn

    When she’s not out hunting rogue vampires and werewolves, you can find Crystal Dawn out exploring the galaxy. She can do it all without ever leaving her computer. She kicks ass, takes names, and puts it all down for the enjoyment of her readers. At least that’s what I think she told me. Writing came as a natural outlet for her overly creative mind. She has always told stories and even written some but publishing books didn't start until 2012 with The Rebirth, was the first of the Planet Amazon books. Crystal has also been lucky to have some wonderful beta readers who keep her on track and help inspire her.Secretly, she crushes on all her sexy heroes because all her stories end happily. That is one of the things that makes writing such a joy. Knowing that it makes her reader's day a little brighter. Not that she doesn't read sad books sometimes. While still in school, she read Where the Red Fern Grows and cried like a baby. It was a wonderful book and sometimes a bit of sadness has to be put in books because that's part of life. While she reads all kinds of books at some time or another, PNR and SFR, which she writes is what she reads the most for pleasure.When she started writing, she decided on going Indie after the first two books because an author has more control. She believes Indie will compete well and continues to grow. The need to give pleasure to her readers keeps her going and she sees a long career ahead. Growing up mostly in the NW Arkansas area, it has given her a good place to set some stories and many of her characters come from there or nearby SW Missouri.The start of her stories is the easy part. Finishing them is a little harder when all the stories are in there trying to get out. She loves reading, chocolate, fine sweet wine, and traveling among a large list of pursuits. Her favorite people, after her family and close friends, are her readers who she says are some of the most wonderful people in this galaxy and the next.

      Taming Desire

      The last story of the six friends may be the most difficult one of all. Sara is stubborn and refuses to admit her desire for Dillie, no matter what he tries. This is his last chance to convince her to be his.

      Dillie will give his all for love. Will it be enough?

      Sara is miserable without the one male that makes her heart soar. She’s just stubborn enough to be unhappy forever rather than admit she was wrong.

      Prologue

      The world of the supernatural exists all around, but no one sees it. Even if they catch a glimpse of it, they refuse to admit that’s what they saw. But not all humans are allowed to go about their mundane existence in complete ignorance.

      Her family was just minding their own business when a werewolf bit one of them, changing her life and theirs, forever. A bite won’t always do that, but this time it changed their world too. Her cousin, Ariel, changed into a snow-white wolf. White wolves were a powerful bloodline believed to be extinct, but now that they’ve been found, they are all pursued relentlessly.

      Many of them snubbed the wolves, as they preferred to be called. She was one of those who chose to stick with her own kind. Her name is Sue Ellen, and this is the story of Sara and Dillie. Sara didn’t want to change to a wolf so she left her love behind. Dillie had plans, but they didn’t include being abandoned. Everyone will see who actually gets their way.

      This story takes place after five wolves reconnect with their fated ones. Now it’s Dillie’s turn to try to win back Sara; he will do anything to get her back. The whole thing began months ago.

      ***

      Six men sat around the table making plans that would either change their life for the better or send them further into the pit of lovesick despair. The idea was solid. They would join forces to create a dating service that started with one night of fantasy. They wanted to help others that were lonely and in need of a true love or fated mate, but first they wanted to help themselves.

      All six of the men were werewolves that had found their perfect match, their fated mates, but they’d been rejected. Erotic Fantasies, the dating business they founded, was all about them getting one more shot at the female they wanted.

      All six ladies were white wolves, a powerful werewolf bloodline that had mixed in with humans and almost been lost. They had reasons to be leery of wolves, but not all wolves were objectionable. The males knew that if they got the chance, their mates would fall into their arms one by one.

      Lucas had gone first, he was now mated. Paul went next even though he was nervous, but he knew it would work out right, which it did. Ven and Fan also had their nights and managed to claim their mates. Dillie has also claimed Sara as his mate. Now it is time for Dillie to claim Sara. Will their plan work one more time?

      Chapter 1

      A Day’s Work

      Dillie was in advertising. It was an exciting field that kept his active mind busy. There was one challenge after another but when he didn’t have enough business, which was rare, he bought a house and flipped it. Right now, he needed to be busy because his fantasy was coming up in less than a month and all the other guys had been successful.

      He didn’t believe it was a cop out to mention none of their females were half as stubborn as his Sara. His female was a hard worker, and she was considering buying Blue Eye diner. Currently her recording studio kept her busy. He wasn’t sure where the time would come from.

      There wasn’t much she couldn’t do. She was also a well-known local photographer, she even had some national awards. When she had time, she offered her services to clients, by taking parts in their projects, both video and audio. With little local competition, she made a comfortable living but it looked like she wanted more.

      He admired her ability to find a niche which she filled well. Sara was passionate about everything she did. It never occurred to her to settle into a job that paid well, but she didn’t like. That made her a happy person, for the most part. According to her friends, she hadn’t been happy lately, but he hoped it was because she was missing him, her mate.

      If only that was true. He certainly missed her which caused him to dream about her all the time. Dillie had spent time writing her poems. He even sent one to her, but she’d not said anything to anyone if she’d received it. Soon, he would be setting the plan in motion just like his five friends had done before him. All had been successful perhaps because a loss like this would be too much to bear.

      Dillie? Mr. Martin is on line two, Phyllis said. She was his secretary, but he hoped he would be able to keep her. She was mooning around like the last one had, which if she didn’t realize he wasn’t interested and kept pushing him, meant she would have to go.

      Hello, Mr. Martin. How is the family?

      They’re all fine. How are you doing on with my advertising campaign?
