Hello and Happy January! I’m so excited to finally be able to share with you that I have a new series out, based on a standalone story I published a while back. You might recall a story about a lion alpha and his human mate named “The Alpha’s Honor.” I always wanted to write more with those characters, especially Ree’s sister, Mercy. And I finally had a chance! I turned the standalone story into a series with a new title and cover!
The first book in the new TAILS series is now titled “Memory.” The book is 99 cents. If you already purchased/read The Alpha’s Honor, please know that I made very few changes to Memory, and you don’t need to purchase it again. Book two – Mercy – will be out February 3. I can’t wait for you to hang out with the lions from the Kedrick Pride!

He only cares about becoming alpha…
There’s only one thing standing in the way of Duke Fairborn taking over his pride as alpha, and that’s choosing a mate. According to pride law, matings must be among their own kind, and only a mated male can become alpha. Mating an outsider means facing exile. After giving the pride matchmaker the go-ahead, he soon finds himself betrothed to a lioness, with a mating ceremony scheduled for the following weekend. Now, everything is falling into place in his life and he couldn’t be happier. Right?
Her broken heart doesn’t trust easily…
Memory Hendrix isn’t interested in dating, and doesn’t even believe in happily-ever-afters. After one too many broken hearts, Ree knows that the only person she can trust is herself. Accompanying her younger sister to a bar for a drink to kick off the weekend, she finds herself in the arms of the sexiest guy she’s ever laid eyes on. He’s built like a tank and he purrs! One night with him, and her broken heart is all but mended.
Not all is what it seems…
Duke knows that taking Ree to bed is going to be the end of his bid for alphaship, but he couldn’t care less. Nothing is as important to him as his new mate. Believing she’s safe in his room above the bar, he leaves her sleeping and goes to the pride elders to accept his exile. He’d rather have Ree than be alpha. But the jilted lioness isn’t going to go down without a fight, and when Ree believes that Duke will never choose her, she runs. He’s not about to let her go, and no lioness or pride laws will stand in his way. He’ll choose honor over duty, and love above all else.
**This book was previously published with the title “The Alpha’s Honor.”
Mercy (Tails Book Two) – Coming February 3, 2020

Lion shifter Barron has nothing on his mind on Friday night except his work at Tails, the shifter bar. But then he scents something amazing and finds the source in a gorgeous female. She’s human, and she’s his heart-match – the one female on the planet meant for him. Because she’s human, he’ll lose his place in the pride if he claims her, but nothing is as important as making her his.
Mercy expects nothing to come from the evening out with her sister except a few free drinks, some dancing, and maybe finding a guy to fool around with. She never thought she’d get swept off her feet by a huge man who purred whenever they touched. Taking him home was a no-brainer. Finding out he’ll lose his pride because of her? That’s when things get tough.
But Barron isn’t about to let anything quite as silly as the fact that she’s human get in the way of him and his lion securing her as his mate. He’ll show her she’s the most important female in his universe, and that he’ll do anything to keep her by his side and in his arms. Forever.

Tayme (Were Zoo Book Eight)
It’s here! Having Hope, the final book in the series that began all the way back in Callie’s story in The Wolf’s Mate (Book Three) is out today! When I first wrote Callie’s book, I never imagined that her story involving an amazing group of mountain lion shifter males, would end up being so very special to me and spawn so many great stories! I’d love to hear what your favorite book of the series is, so shoot me an email (rebutlerauthor @ gmail (dot) com – remove the spaces and (dot), and let me know! I’ve loved so many of the stories, from Grant and Aaron’s first love with music teacher Samantha, to Honor’s rescue by Jax & Holden. It’s all been so fun and amazing. I hope you enjoy this last visit to Ashland.
