Blurb:
Carlin is an Alpha Wolf Fighter, one of only three in the top spots at the Souterrain – an underground fighting club, run by the Elite to punish shifters who have gone outside of the laws. He’s happy enough, only has to fight exhibition matches, has his own apartment space, food and sex on tap – yep, life it good. So when Martin offers him the chance to fight for his freedom, Carlin turns it down. It’s no fun being a lone wolf and Carlin is quite happy where he is.
Then Lucas catches his eye. A handsome man, a stunning fighter, moving up through the ranks fast. Lucas might not have the killer attitude that most men at the Souterrain have, but he’s got the moves. Carlin has no problems insisting the man is bought to his apartment – sex is never a bad idea. But when he catches Lucas’s scent and realizes the man is his fated mate, suddenly getting him to bed is the least of his problems. Lucas wants to be free, and for the first time in a long time, so does Carlin.
Unfortunately there is more to Lucas than meets the eye. Martin certainly has no intention of letting them go, and if he has to have Carlin killed to keep Lucas at the Souterrain, then the man has no problems with that either. Suddenly the deal Carlin makes with Martin goes horribly wrong, and Carlin and Lucas realize that the price for freedom might be Carlin’s life, and even then Lucas will not be free.
Warnings: M/M sex, HEA, some violence (they are in a fight club after all). A growly Alpha who lets his emotions get the best of him, and a hybrid shifter with a wicked imagination.
Pages or Words: 44,000

Excerpt:
Carlin knew he was behaving like an idiot pacing up and down the floor of his small apartment, but he couldn’t stop. How long did it take for one man to have a shower for fucks sake? He’d ordered food for the both of them. Having been a fighter for more than five years, Carlin knew that Lucas would be hungry – hopefully for food and sex. But if the bloody man didn’t get his skates on then Carlin would eat alone and get straight to dessert when Lucas arrived.
About to call Brian and find out where his errant fuck had gone, Carlin caught the sound of people outside of his door. He threw himself on the couch and picked up a book. He didn’t want Lucas thinking he was waiting for him or anything.
Brian came in, Lucas a few steps behind him.
“Alpha Fighter Carlin. This is Lucas, ranked fifth after today.”
Carlin was surprised. He’d heard the man had moved swiftly up the ranks, but he didn’t realize that Lucas was so close to a shot for an Alpha ranking. In theory, one more fight and he might have to fight Lucas in the ring. For a moment Carlin was tempted to send the man away. He did have some conscience, even after so many years of being a fighting machine. He didn’t want to have to kill someone who had been in his bed.
But then Lucas stepped past Brian, and Carlin was caught in angry eyes. Silver eyes. Something tugged at Carlin’s brain – the eye color had some significance, didn’t it? But then Lucas’s scent hit Carlin’s nose and any rational thought fell straight out of his brain.
“Leave, Brian,” Carlin said, standing up and not breaking his stare with Lucas. He knew his body radiated the power he was famous for, and guessed he might look intimidating, as he heard Brian whisper to Lucas as he scurried out of the door, “I told you not to stare at an Alpha. You’re dead meat pup.”
“Better dead than a fuck toy,” Lucas snarled – his comment for Brian, but those silver eyes stayed fixed on Carlin.
“I agree,” Carlin said, his voice dropping as he got closer. Before Lucas could react, he reached his hand around, grabbing Lucas by the nape and pushing the man’s face into his throat. Whatever Lucas was going to say was muffled by Carlin’s skin, although the man was kicking, punching and doing everything he could to get free.
“Sniff, damn you,” Carlin said urgently. “Fucking sniff, and then I’ll let you go.”
Carlin felt Lucas quieten, although his body still stayed rigid in Carlin’s grasp. Lucas’s deep inhale was the only sound in the room. Carlin knew the moment Lucas had worked out what Carlin was trying to say.

Meet the authors:
Lisa Oliver had been writing non-fiction books for years when visions of half dressed, buff men started invading her dreams. Unable to resist the lure of her stories, Lisa decided to switch to fiction books, and now stories about her men clamor to get out from under her fingertips.
When Lisa is not writing, she is usually reading with a cup of tea always at hand. Her grown children and grandchildren sometimes try and pry her away from the computer and have found that the best way to do it, is to promise her chocolate. Lisa will do anything for chocolate.
Lisa loves to hear from her readers and other writers. You can friend her on Facebook here, or email her directly at [email protected].
Thomas Oliver doesn’t have a lot of time for writing itself although he can talk about his ideas for hours. A construction worker by day, he has a wicked imagination and it was from sharing some of his ideas with Lisa, that the idea for this series was born.
When not working, Thomas is like any other young man. He loves to spend time with friends, his girlfriend and working on his car. His dream is to do up a project car – something mean, with attitude and plenty of power under the hood.
Anyone wanting to contact Thomas can do so through Facebook.
Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Lisa and Thomas Oliver authors of Uncaged, first book in the Shifter’s Uprising series.
Hi Lisa and Thomas, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current book.
[Lisa] Hello and thank you for hosting us today. I have been writing shifter books for some time and although my kids know about what I do, I was blown away when Thomas here came to me with an idea of his own. I’ll let Thomas explain about the book.
[Thomas] I really wanted to have a book, with strong heroes who were doing something that would go against the norm. I guess I spend a lot of time looking at the big picture of our normal everyday life, and I wanted to explore that using shifters and the paranormal world to explain the concepts. In this first book both men have been imprisoned indefinitely by the Elite. Their lives are totally controlled, but when they meet up and realize they’re mates, then Carlin has to find a way to fight for them both to be free. It’s a love story, which is my Mom’s domain, but the struggle comes from my ideas. Uncaged is the first of five planned books in this series, each one hosting a different couple.
[Lisa] and like my other books, this has an HEA, no cheating a lot of honesty and in this one a dragon too.
Tell us 10 things we didn’t know about you.
[Thomas] – My needs are pretty simple and I tend to keep my personal life private but I can tell you:-
- I love Jaeger on a Friday night
- I have eclectic music tastes – from Black Veil Brides to Flo-rida
- I’ve always wanted to own a giant malamute
- In my spare time I love to play darts or work on my archery skills
- I love playing the guitar and have just bought a piano so I can learn how to play that too.
[Lisa]
- I’m more of a cup of tea type of lady, although I have been known to drink any chocolate liquor that’s around
- My music tastes tend to old school – eighties and nineties music from a huge range of artists
- My greatest peace comes from reading a book under a tree on a sunny day.
- I love tattoos, I have four of them and I am planning another three
- I get really edgy when I don’t have time to write and try and write something on my new book every day.
Thank you for having us here today – let us know what you think about our new book – it’s a little different but I hope you enjoy it.
