Worth the Wait, a paranormal romance from Fiona McGier

Please help us welcome Fiona McGier to the blog this week. Fiona is here to share her paranormal romance, Worth the Wait. Welcome, Fiona! We are all excited to hear more about Worth the Wait.

Worth the Wait is the second book in the Northwest Maine Academy series. A paranormal saga about four couples’ search for love, made complicated by being a weresolf shifter–so your inner wolf has to agree with your choice, just as you have to agree with the wolf’s choice! The first book is When a Wolf Howls.

About Worth the Wait:

The Northwest Maine Pack is settling down since Diego, the new pack leader, is almost done healing after challenges to his leadership. His wife, Saoirse, presents him with a welcome surprise. John, son of the late pack leader, has headed out to Boston, to live with Freddie, Saoirse’s bestie, whom he met at her wedding to Diego. This leaves a gap in pack security, so Diego asks if anyone from the family of Canadian hunters is willing to fill in for him.

Grant volunteers.  He’s been haunted by the memory of the black she-wolf he saw on the pack grounds. His wolf tells him she is their mate, but he doesn’t even know what she looks like as a human.

Nathan has been without any real love in his life, since his family disowned him years ago, for telling them of his secret duality. But when his wolf senses an unfamiliar she-wolf, and they mate, the next morning, the woman has no memory of anything they did the night before.

Everyone has been waiting a long time for what they want the most. But the path to true love is rarely an easy one. Especially when you are a werewolf.

Worth the Wait Excerpt:

Excerpt set up: Grant’s wolf knows the black she-wolf is their mate.  Now that he’s met Monique, he’s sure of it also.  But she’s a widow with 3 kids, and fears a new man in her life would upset the delicate balance of her family. This is the first time they’ve been able to speak alone– in the dining room of the academy.

Monique looked into his eyes. “You’re not mated,” she stated hesitantly.

He shook his head slowly, “No.”

“Why?”

He shrugged. “I’ve never lived in a pack before. I’ve never met female shifters besides my mom and my sister.”

“Many of us choose non-shifters as mates. Diego did.”

“Yes. But as I understand it, Diego’s wolf and he both agreed from the start, that she was the one. Maybe I’ve never met the one for me.”

He took a deep breath, before leaning forward also, to close the distance between them. He spoke in a low voice. “Or maybe I’ve met her, but I haven’t told her yet.”

Monique looked into his eyes quickly, alarm in her large, soft, brown eyes. Then she looked away, as if to hide what she was thinking.

The silence between them grew, as both of them seemed to be either conferring with their wolves, or considering what they were hinting at with their words.

Finally she looked up and met his eyes again. And when she spoke, it was almost a whisper. “Maybe she’s not ready to hear it yet.”

“Will she let me know when she is?”

Almost imperceptibly, Monique nodded. Then she got up and moved quickly over to put her empty cup onto the conveyer belt, and she exited the dining room.

About Fiona McGier:

Honestly, I used to think that I’m so boring compared to my characters, that no one wants to know about me!  I sub in high schools during the school year.

Otherwise I’m writing and blogging about my books–and reading.  Not only do I write erotic romance, I love to read it too. Why romance?  As a happily-married woman, I miss that excitement of discovering the one you’re interested in, returns your interest.  And the mad-passion of the early days of a romance. So I love to experience it over and over again, in the books I write, and in the books I read. I always write contemporary stories, because sex without birth control is too scary to think about! But sometimes my muse gives me paranormal characters, usually in dreams.  I dreamed about my vampires before I wrote their story, and I dreamed about my werewolves.

I often read while camping with my long-time HEA.  Our four adult kids sometimes join us. Shinrin-yoku is forest bathing in Japanese, and as long as there’s no snow on the ground, that’s where I’ll be and what I’ll be doing–as often as possible. We just bought a Scamp trailer–I lobbied for it for about five years, so the fact that it’s now in our driveway has me thrilled!

I write sitting at my laptop in the “office” area of the bottom level of our tri-level house.  Used to be the kids made so much noise upstairs that the only time I got peace and quiet to write was very late at night.  Luckily I could outlast them. But now they’re all out of our house, and I can write when I’m not promoting, or doing any of my other creative projects.

I also enjoy sewing–mostly masks these days, crocheting afghans to keep my loved ones warm, and baking–cookies, muffins, and especially pies. I’m known for my never-fail pie crust, so I put the recipe on my website under the pies tab, along with some of my family’s favorites.  I featured them in one of my books that had a heroine who baked lots of pies.

  1. Madison, thanks so much for giving me a chance to expose myself (ahem) to your readers! Like I said, I think I’m pretty boring compared to my characters, whose lives are so much more exciting!
