Hi everyone. 2015 looks as if it will be a busy year and I’m racing to get all my titles prepped for release. Today I’m sharing another scene from Call Me Miz, the first book in my Bitter Creek Holler series.
From ~Call Me Miz
Miz looked down at the animal tucked deeply in shadows. Had the light from her flashlight not reflected off a glint of metal, she might have missed the big cat caught in the conibear trap.
His fierce gaze threatened death to her if she came closer.
“Got your ass caught tonight, didn’t you, Sunny?” Miz murmured grimly, laying her hand on the golden pelt and talking shit in a soothing voice. “Well as to that, boyo, it’s not me who needs help.”
The fact was, unless she freed the animal soon, the lethal jaws clamping him in a body grip were going to squeeze the life from him.
“Nope, can’t let that happen.” As the beast’s chest heaved, fighting for air, Miz ripped the strings from her boots and squatted next to the trap spring.

Call Me Miz Synopsis:
Missouri Hess doesn’t think of herself as a witch, although she can heal with her touch and pull truth from a liar every time. She considers her gifts to be a curse. Nevertheless when misery calls, Miz is compelled to answer.
Thomas Hunter is a government agent and a member of an elite Special Forces team—emphasizing the word special. In human form, Thomas is a mouth-watering hunk of rippling muscles. Since he’s in Bitter Creek Holler to investigate the local werewolves, he’s spending most of his time prowling the woods as a jaguar, ready to meet the enemy with fang and claw.
But Thomas doesn’t know the area, or realize until too late, that he’s become the prey. When Miz rescues his furry form from a conibear trap, the beast in him claims her as his own. It’s up to Thomas to work out the details and convince the bewitching healer she’s his mate.

She faces death without fear to help the trapped animal.
Precise writing puts the reader right there with her.
Kudos!
Why do I have the feeling that it won’t be as easy as it seems?
Can’t wait to read this story. When you share little bits of it, I keep thinking “I just want more”. Lol
Excellent details. (And I love the way she’s talking to him — so matter of fact and unruffled.)
I still love her sass—I get the feeling that she’d say the same thing if he were human. 😀
You have a terrific way with terrific characters, Gem! 🙂
I really loved this heroine.
As pissed as I’d be at someone, I couldn’t leave them in that kind of trap, either. Great snippet, Gem.
Aw, poor, dangerous thing! Can’t wait to read whether she is successful in his release – and stays safe!
Marvelous snippet. I felt the danger from the animal and her matter of fact dealing with a scary situation alone. Double Kudos from me.
Love at first trap? I wonder what compels him to chose a mate like that and if she can or wants to squirm away from the deal.
I was surprised that she touched him- she really is brave! I like her smack talk- she’s a great character. I just finished Cat Nip. Is Miz a descendant of Jinx? Love your shifter books and am ridiculously happy to see this one coming out.
Oh, I love it and want more! Fabulous 8.
Great snippet. Love animal lovers. 🙂
Sharp prose that delivers insights into the character. Very nice.
I love your writing! I’m immediately drawn in!
Hmm. May be more here than meets the eye.
I love the story’s premise and your heroine is certainly no meek and mild miss, love her tone! Can;t wait for more and please can she hurry up on getting him out of that awful trap!
“Got your ass caught tonight, didn’t you, Sunny?” I LOVE her voice! You write great fiction, Gem 🙂
Intense scene. Love it!
I like her … like the “Nope, can’t let that happen.” attitude.
I love her. Can’t wait to read more!
