Wayward Mates Book 1
by Delta James
Genre:
Dark Paranormal Romance
Before he claims his mate, she must be brought to heel.
Skylar
Owen is not used to taking orders from anyone and the last thing she
wants in her life is an alpha who will demand her submission, but her
world is turned upside down after a band of rogue wolves attacks her
small, all-female pack. Ordered to disband her pack so that she can
be matched with a mate, Skylar defies the Ruling Council, only to be
hunted down and captured.
Though
he can tell Skylar will be trouble the moment he sets eyes on her,
Dylan Grainger knows how to tame a wayward woman, and it isn't long
before the beautiful, feisty redhead is tearfully promising obedience
as her bare bottom is soundly spanked. But Dylan quickly realizes
that Skylar is much more than just a headstrong female in need of an
alpha's firm-handed correction.
With
each passing day, he grows more certain that she is his mate, and he
knows that soon he must claim her, mark her, and take her hard and
thoroughly. But will she resist her instincts, or will her body's
response to his bold dominance leave her in no doubt that she belongs
to him?

Darby
Callan doesn't want a mate, but it isn't up to her. Her old pack has

plans to make her beg.

and quivering with desperate, shameful need, Darby cannot help
pleading with Jean-Michel for the climax she has been denied, and
soon she is crying out with pleasure more intense than she would have
ever thought possible as he makes her his. But when the vicious brute
who once hurt her comes looking for Darby again, can she trust her

mates whether they like it or not.
The
moment Oliver Halsey saw Rosalyn, he knew she was his mate. But she

the freedom she needed to come to terms with her new reality. Now her
time is up.

catch her and bring her back. When she disobeys, he will bare her and

When
Catherine Livingston travels to Italy to investigate her sister's
disappearance, it isn't long before she crosses paths with the man

DeMedici seems to all but own the city of Florence, and it soon

and thoroughly.
Despite
Catherine's efforts to run from him, her body's response to Marco's
stern dominance cannot be denied, and when he reveals that he is an
alpha shifter it only makes it more obvious that her world will never

will be how loudly she screams his name as he claims her as roughly

Rhys has always chafed at submitting to the authority of her pack's
alpha, but when he tries to sell her body in return for money and

plans to live as a lone wolf in the backwoods of Maine are thrown
into turmoil, however, when the local game warden makes it his
business to take her in hand, and the battle-hardened former Army
Ranger soon proves to be just as fiercely dominant as any alpha
shifter.
Declan
Collins knows a woman in need of a man's firm hand when he sees one,
and it isn't long before Ava is kneeling naked at his feet with her
well-spanked bare bottom on display. Once he has taught her a better
use for her sassy mouth, she quickly finds herself screaming her
helpless, shameful submission into the bedsheets as he claims her so
roughly and so thoroughly that she is left in no doubt that she
belongs to him and there is nothing whatsoever she can do about
it.
With
each passing day he masters her body ever more completely, never
hesitating to punish any hint of defiance before using and enjoying
her in ways more humiliating than she could have ever imagined. But
when instinct causes her to bite him in the throes of yet another

up mated to an alpha shifter after all?

Sinfully sultry romance . . .that’s the world that International and US best
selling author Delta James inhabits and shares with her readers. A world where alpha heroes find true love
with feisty heroines. Delta’s stories are filled with erotic encounters of romance and discipline. One
reader suggested it was best to have a “fan and a glass of water” when reading Delta’s stories.
Delta specializes in paranormal, dark, and contemporary
westerns. She is always happy to hear from those who enjoy her work – and even those who don’t.

GUEST POST
Do the characters all come to you at the
same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
A little of both.
I generally know the main characters, but not always the secondary
ones. The most annoying part is when I’m more than half way through
a book and one of them tells me, “Oh by the way”… and its
something vital to the story that necessitates my going back through
the story to re-vamp it and thread that information throughout.
What kind of
research do you do before you begin writing a book?
I generally write
from my own experiences, but if not, I find readers in my private
Facebook grou, Delta’s Wayward Pack, and use them to funnel answers
to questions and double check my facts.
Do you prefer
to write in silence or with noise? Why?
Depends on the
book, the scene and how I am feeling. I think I am at my most
productive when I have Pandora playing.
Do you write
one book at a time or do you have several going at a time?
Even though I am
a “pantser” versus a “plotter,” I write one book at a time
from beginning to end.
Pen or type
writer or computer?
Computer. I can’t
stand to write on anything else.
Advice they
would give new authors?
Write! Every
single day! Pick an amount of time that you will dedicate to writing
– not being on social media, not emailing friends, not working on
editing your book, but working on your next novel. If you want a
career as an author, treat it like it’s a business! Plan to spend
money honing your craft, marketing your book, getting a good editor
and a good cover designer. If you hire someone to do your marketing,
make sure they understand what it is you write and that they are good
at their job—then get out of their way and let them do it!
What makes a
good story?
Well-developed
characters, a good story to tell and lots of steamy sex and
discipline!
What is your
writing Kryptonite?
A beautiful
autumn day, a gorgeous horse and a trail that needs exploring… gets
me every time!
Do you try
more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?
I try to put my
own unique spin on what my readers want to read.
How long on
average does it take you to write a book?
The first draft
(which goes to my publisher) takes about two to three weeks.
Do you believe
in writer’s block?
No. I believe it
is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you get stuck, pull up your big
girl panties, take a break and then get back to it! Harsh I know, but
it this is your career/job/business, you have to treat it as such and
sometimes you have to push through even when it seems impossible!
