Blurb:
Josh moved from the huge San Antonio pack to join the men at Cloverleah looking for a bit more adventure, and the chance to meet his mate. He’s quick to adapt to the much smaller pack, and even his status as one of the few beta wolves in a group full of Alphas. A chance visit from the Atlanta coven has him meeting the man he was waiting for. It was just a damn shame he was unconscious at the time.
Vadim D’Arcy should be the Regent of the Atlanta coven, but he gave up his position years before when a personal tragedy had him hiding away in his huge mansion. Forced into a situation where he had to escort a cursed vampire to Cloverleah, he realizes pretty quickly that Josh is his true match. The only problem is, he doesn’t want one.
However threats on the pack, and two interfering Fae soon nudge the two men back together. Fighting other wolves, and even vampires is becoming commonplace for the Cloverleah pack. But a dark magic user just might have the last laugh. Can Vadim fight his personal demons long enough to keep his mate safe, and will Josh be there for him when he does? Or will a combined attack from the coven and the pack in Atlanta bring the entire Cloverleah pack to its knees?
Warnings: This is an m/m erotic romance featuring a sweet but staunch beta wolf, an old as sin vampire and all your other favorites from Cloverleah. HEA and no cliff hangers guaranteed.

Excerpt:
“Everett was known as your favorite, yet you have set him free, compelled him to leave you and never return. You have met your true match, my son.” Not a question, but a statement of fact. Vadim opened his eyes, knowing he could never lie directly to his mother. He nodded instead, as his brain once again focused on Josh. What would the young wolf be feeling, knowing that Vadim had bonded with him without permission and then rejected him as a mate? Maybe some of the pain he was feeling was coming from his mate, even if they were separated by miles. That idea didn’t make him feel any better.
“The wolf you healed?” This time his persistent mother was asking a question so Vadim nodded again.
“And you didn’t think to stay and protect him?”
Letting out a deep breath in an effort to calm himself, Vadim said slowly, “I came here to protect him, from this coven and the Atlanta pack.”
“That didn’t work out too well for you now, did it?” Eloise had a small smile on her face as though a lot happier now she knew the reason behind the loss of Vadim’s fabled control. “What are you going to do?”
Vadim would have shrugged but that was a little hard to do with his arms strung up, so he was forced to speak instead. “Wait out my punishment. If I am released in time I will go home and sort out my affairs. Either way I anticipate it will all be over for me in six weeks as I haven’t fed for a while.”
In a strong flowing movement Eloise stood up, gliding over to where Vadim was chained, her gown settling around her feet in a soft mist. The finery of the pale blue looked incongruous against the dirty concrete floor.
“You would die rather than accept your true match? Why would you do such a cruel thing to your wolf? Is he that disfigured from the attack on him that you cannot look past it?” Vadim realized his mother was not only shocked, she was hurt as well, and damn it all, Vadim didn’t like it when the lovely woman was upset. So he answered as honestly as he knew how.
“Josh is beautiful, mother,” Vadim assured her softly, remembering all too well the lovely features of his mate’s face. They would be scorched in his brain until he took his last breath. “He is a loyal fighter, a beta wolf, with tanned skin and light hair that glows like a halo in the sun. There is nothing wrong with him at all.”
“Then why?” Easily asked, harder to answer.
“Because I made a promise, mother, surely you can understand.” Vadim’s voice hardened. “My true match, my mate, he’s a wolf and he deserves to be loved with an open heart. To be held and cared for, to be protected and cherished in the way of a wolf, not bonded forever to a vampire with no heart.”

Author Interview:
Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Lisa Oliver author of Watching Out For Fangs, Book 7 in the Cloverleah Pack series.
Hi Lisa, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current book.
Hi there, thank you for hosting me today. This is always the awkward bit, lol. I have been writing for years, but only got into M/M fiction books about two years ago. My first ever fiction book was The Reluctant Wolf which was book one in this series. Watching Out For Fangs is the story of Josh, a beta wolf in the Cloverleah Pack, who meets his mate during a confrontation between the pack and the Atlanta coven. Vadim is as old as sin and twice as good looking and definitely doesn’t want a mate, so as you can imagine things get a bit awkward for him in places. You can read this as a standalone, but anyone who has read the series will be pleased to meet up with characters from other books.
Q: What genres do you enjoy writing in?
A: I write exclusively in the M/M genre (or M/M/M) and for now all of my books are about shifters, vampires, Fae and other creatures.
Q: What was the hardest part about writing this book?
A: I don’t plan my books at all, so I am often surprised at how they turn out in the end. With this one, I was having a bit of a problem because Vadim spoke to me a lot louder than Josh, yet it is a Cloverleah Pack book. I had to be careful that the sweet beta wolf didn’t get overshadowed.
Q: What did you enjoy most about writing your book?
A: Some of the later dialogue in the book struck me as funny – I could picture these two men in my head – the ancient vampire and the young wolf shifter – their match was so unlikely and yet as you read through the book you can see why it works.
Q: What cultural value do you see in writing?
A: The value of stories – it doesn’t matter what the topic, or who wrote it, I think stories have huge cultural significance, even in a genre like mine. Any creativity – be it art, music, films or books are important because they are a way of capturing one person’s thoughts, beliefs and dreams in that one moment, and that is special.
Q: What is your favorite positive saying?
A: If you are going through hell, keep going (Winston Churchill)

I’ve always been more drawn toward werewolves so werewolves.
I would rather be a werewolf because I don’t want to be restricted about the time of day that I had to be sleeping!
