I’m so excited to share the amazing cover of my soon-to-be-released new series debut: Every Night Forever (Hyena Heat One). The heroes of this story came from the “bad guys” in The Wolf’s Mate Four, but I knew that deep down, were-hyenas Dante, Mason, and Cairo were really just struggling to find their mate. How could I leave them unmated and lonely?
Every Night Forever will appear on Amazon and Smashwords on Thursday, December 6.
Every Night Forever (Hyena Heat One)
by R.E. Butler
After narrowly avoiding a personal disaster, she-wolf Alyssa Morgan can’t wait to leave her wolf pack and start her life over. Trying to rebuild her shattered self-esteem, she swears off relationships. When she accepts a job at Stone’s gym, working for three hunky were-hyena brothers, she discovers the hardest thing she ever had to do wasn’t leaving her pack, but keeping them at arm’s length.
Dante, Cairo, and Mason Stone have been unlucky in love. As were-hyenas, they need to share a mate, and they hadn’t found the right woman… until Alyssa walks through the door. But the sweet she-wolf is anything but interested in a relationship with them. Oppressed within her wolf pack, she doesn’t see herself as worthy of their affection. When her life is threatened and they almost lose her, they decide it’s time to convince her that she is their mate and they are perfect for each other.
This story contains one she-wolf trying to find herself, three overprotective were-hyenas with love on their minds, m/f/m/m interaction, neck biting, and symbolic tattoos.
I LOVE this cover! She’s a perfect Alyssa in my mind, beautiful and vulnerable. I can’t thank Ramona Lockwood of Romance Book Cover Designs for coming up with this fantastic cover. I am so glad that Ramona and I are working together on covers, she’s one amazing and talented lady.

Hi Paige! Oh Danny, what’s not to love about him? Tight jeans, a good dancer, and he doesn’t do sloppy seconds! 🙂
My favorite bad boy would def have to be Eric Northman from Trueblood for TV and books. For movies, that’s a toughy, prob have to go with Johny Depp in Cry Baby. Really looking forward to all your upcoming released. x
Thanks, Lori! Cry Baby is one of my guilty pleasures (along with the original Hairspray), I love when they’re dancing in the jail between the glass. Johnny Depp was one of my first crushes.
Yes, well he is a very gorgeous man 😉 I loved the scene when he teaches her to kiss. Very mmmmmmmm!
Makes me want to watch it again!
My favorite bad boys… tv Miles (Billy Burke) from Revolution movies would have to be Dom (Vin Diesel) from The Fast and Furious Series. Books hmm that’s hard to say I read so much, I’d have to say one of my fave’s is Colt McKay for Lorelei James Rough Riders series. Can’t wait to read your new book. I’ve devoured all the other books you have written they are absolutely wonderful.
Yee haw, Rough Riders! Yum! Dom…I love him, too. Of course I dig a guy that shaves his head and has tatts, that’s just so awesome. Thanks so much for the compliment, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the stories!
My favorite bad boy is Cullen from Cherise Sinclair’s “Lean on Me” in the Shadowlands series.

rmwyer at shaw dot ca
Thanks so much, Becki, Happy Holidays to you, too! I have not read any of that series but it’s on my wishlist.
My favorite bad boys… let me think.
From movies, it would be Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, from Constantine. I loved that tortured character, trying to save his soul.
TV, Mark Valley as Christopher Chance, from Human Target. I loved the series, I can’t believe they cancelled it 😦
Books, would be Val, from Starved for Love (Annie Nicholas), I loved him. It’s not as tortured type, but a very bad and decided type. It’s the kind of character I’d give everything to make him real…. yummie 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway
Human Target? I loved that show! I can’t believe it got canceled, too, such a shame! He was great on it, I’d love to be rescued by him. I want to check out Starved for Love now, sounds great! Good luck!
Bad Boys huh I would have to say eric northman from true blood (tv), Books it is hands down for me Zadist from the black dagger brotherhood( , Movies well would have to be (drum roll please) Heath Ledger as the joker in Batman Black Knight. Loving the Wolf Mate series. Just found them on amazon and enjoying them. I am glad that you are writing about the hyenas from your last book. They deserve a mate that wants only them. Thanks for the many books that you have written. I have enjoyed them.
Hi Cappi! Eric is awesome, so sexy on the TV show and in the books, too. I almost put down Zsadist, because I love him, too. I’m so glad you found my stories and have enjoyed them!
My favorite bad boy oh there are so many.
From TV probably Dean from Supernatural.
From movies Vin Diesel in XXX.
From books, this one is the hardest, but because I just re-read it Ryne Taylor from The Keeping by Nicky Charles.
I can’t wait to read the new book love me some hot bad boys.
See, there’s just so many bad boys on TV, how could I forget Supernatural? I liked The Keeping a lot, too, and Ryne was really an awesome alpha. I hope you love the hyenas, I’m really thrilled for their story to be told.
My favorite bad boy fom tv Damon from vampire diaries also I love him and From my books there’s so any it hard to choose but Duncan from the immortal trilogy
Yeah, Damon! I love a bad boy that knows he’s bad and wants to be good, but just isn’t quite motivated ‘yet’. 🙂
I have to agree with you on Rhage. Now, don’t get me wrong, you have some awesome bad boys of your own, but there’s just something about Rhage. IN FACT, he was so “real” to me, that i actually named my son, who i was pregnant with at the time while reading his story, Rhaige. I have my own blue eye, blonde hair bad boy now! LoL! I swear it’s true, you and I are friends on FACEBOOK, go look!(Theboysrwx4@gmail) 😀
I changed the spelling just a bit, to make it his own name, by adding an “I”. So I’d definitely go with Rhage for the ultimate BadBoy!
I love it, Gina! I didn’t make the connection of the name until you explained it – super cool! Ah, Rhage – I really loved his story, so hot!
Yea, I added the “I” to make unique. Well MORE unique, that is.. LoL
But it’s pronounced the same way. 🙂
My fav bad boy from tv would be Vex from the lost girl he’s so naughty but he’s adorable.
Books there are so many but one that sticks out is Jonas Wyatt from Lora Leigh’s Breeds even getting mated hasn’t stopped his interfering and manipulating of others
Movies Keifer Sutherland from Lost boys he was nasty but ohh so hot 🙂
Great choices, Gail! I loved Keifer in Lost Boys, it’s still one of my favorite vampire movies!
my favorite bad boy from a movie would be Lestat from Queen of the Damned and from a book is Bishop from Meet me when the sun goes down and from Tv is everyone from American Horror Story Aslyum Because if you really think about it all the guys from that show are bad.. Cant wait for the new book
Meghean, I’m too scared to watch that show! LOL. Bishop is a great name! Thanks so much!
That cover is amazing!!! Definitely bookmarking Ramona’s site for my clients. I’m not sure if I’m eligible for the contest, but I have to give a shout-out to my favourite bad boy- Ethan Banning from Demonised by Naomi Clark!
Of course you’re eligible! 🙂 Ethan is such a sexy name, I love it. Thanks for the cover kudos, Ramona is really amazing and I love everything she does for me.
Hi RE
From movies:Johnny Depp from Public Enemy because he is so hot he is the perfect bad boys and such a romantic with the ladies oh that body. : )
From books: Dante from The Maker Song series Adrian Phoenix because he is such a hottie, mega bad boy and rock star and such a tormented soul oh so hmmmm.
From TV: Angel from Forever Knight oh my god what a body and those eyes and that smile would love to have come and save me or bite me for that matter. : )
Love your picks, Shawnnita! Yeah, I’m all about the sexy eyes with the bad boys, love those smoldering looks they can give. 🙂
I have a lot of Fav Bad Boys butt I have to say my current favorite Bad Boy from Books and Movies is Paul Lahote from the Twilight series played by the AMAZING Alex Merez:) I just wish someone else would have done justice to her shapeshifters the way you have:)
Wow, what a great compliment! I like Paul from the series as well. Doesn’t hurt that Alex is HOT, but I like the barely controlled temper and protective vibes from him. You’re so sweet! Thanks!
I have to tell you some of my La Push Wolfpack girls are HUGE fans of yours and eagerly await your next book and we discuss them when they come out and I recommend you to all who ask do I know any good shapeshifter books, you are always at the top of the list
That’s just so freaking cool! Thank you so much!!!
I saw some other people put Eric from True Blood and I have to completely agree. He’s a bad boy with a mushy center 🙂 Still trying to decide who I would pick from a movie and book……
Btw…love the new cover!
I think Eric’s winning the day! Thanks for the compliment, I love it so much, too!
Right now Christian Grey from Fifty Shades always comes to mind.Christian Grey always took control of every situation.Mr.Grey is very dominering,sexy ,and still has that vulnerable side to him that only Anna was able to touch.I love a man that knows how to take charge of the situation.
Very interesting choice! Thank you so much for commenting, Lakinda!
My favorite tv bad boy would have to be Damon from Vampire Diaries. My favorite book bad boy is Aeron from Lords of the Underworld.
Yeah, Damon! I love LOTU! I’d hate to have to pick between them, they’re all so yummy, but Aerone is wicked, wicked cool.
My favorite bad boy is Jerricho Barons from Karen Marie Moning’s fever series. Can’t wait to read this one and I love that the bad boys get to redeem themselves.
I love a good bad-boy redemption story, too! I’ll have to keep KMM’s Fever series in mind next time I’m looking for a good bad boy story! 🙂
definitely Eric from TV and Bones from Jeanine Frost’s book.
mythic021@gmail.com
Okay, I must read Jeanine Frost’s book! 🙂
There are so many! Let’s see Paul Walker in the Takers. I like Zane in Zane’s Redemption by Tina Folsom. Not necessarily a bad guy, Gerard Butler. I’m sure he could be bad. The list could go on.
The Takers was chock-full of bad boys! Woo! Tina Folsom is really wonderful, I love her Scanguard Vamps series! Gerard played The Phantom…he’s kinda bad, right?
I think my favorite badboy is rayne from Nicky. Charles the finding.
Good call, Vivian! Her heroes always have that don’t-cross-me-bad-boy-vibe. Awesome!
Well, well of all the FANTABULOUS bad boys out there, my most favorites are, and in no particular order LOL:
Favorite TV show, has to be my Vampire Diaries Addiction~ Joeseph Morgan as the so yummy Klaus! There is just something about his voice and that old but charming character he portrays
Favorite movie, without a doubt is the ever so amazing Mark Sinclair Vincent~AKA Vin Diesel in the The Fast and the Furious.
Favorite book, has to be that Ryne Taylor from The Keeping, by Nicky Charles. The author paints an ever so lovely picture in your mind when he is sitting on his sofa watching Mel come to…OH my skittles!
Happy Holidays to all!
Desiree, I LOVE your comment! So descriptive! I adore everyone you mentioned, too! Klaus, I forget about him because I love Damon so much, but he’s really awesome as well. I love a good accent. *shiver* Happy holidays to you, too!
Right now, I would have to say my favorite Bad Boy is Vishious from BDB Book 5, I just finished his story.
But, my all time favorite Bad Boy is Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind. He had debonair , sexy & bad boy down to an art form. And Clark Gable was the perfect actor for the movie. 🙂
I really do adore all the BDB men. Wow, what a classic bad boy you mentioned! I love him so much I even named one of my mountain lions Rhett (from Callie’s story). I watch that movie once a year, I adore it. 🙂
Yes, another give away, I would have to say my fav bad boys of all time are Riddick from Pitch Black and Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry).
Vin Diesel makes an excellent bad boy! I really wanted him to get a HEA in Pitch Black – strange but true! I’m always rooting for the underdog!
I know what you mean, his a lovable bad ass, I love the seen in PB were he snick’s up on the captain and you think his going to kill her but just cuts her hair and smells it that gets me every time. I looking forward to the installment in the trilogy.
Thanks so much, sweetie! Vin Diesel can sneak up on me anytime!
I’ll have to agree with Desiree on Ryne, he was AMAZING. I also like Chase from Mia Castile’s Butterfly series, he’s a lover bad boy. I still can’t forget Bo, even though he’s got a limp, I still can’t help but picture him as a total BADASS. I can’t wait for his story. From tv I otta go with Eric Northman, he is more badass in the books but Askars does him justice. I also like Jon Snow(kit harington) from game of thrones, he’s badass in a solitary kind of way. My all time-would drop everything-kill anyone for tv bad boy is Cullen Bohannon, hell on wheels played by Anson Mount. Mmmmmmm love me some Anson Mount, yummmmm From movies I gotta go with Frank Christmas (Jason Statham) in the expendables, dom from fast n furious along with Paul walker(baby blues).
I hope you love Bo’s story when it comes out in January, too! Finally someone mentioned GoT! I LOVE that show! Jon is so adorably clueless about women but he’s got the protective vibe going for him. I love Ason Mount, he’s so sexy with that long hair. Yum! You have some awesome choices!
fav bad boy….TV: Eric from True Blood, MOVIES: Riddick from Chronicles of Riddick, and best Bad Boy Book character is just way to hard to choose, there are all those Dark/Dream Hunters and countless Weres not to mention all those Brothers of the BDB and lets not leave out the Vamps, Faeries and Druids…..the list really does go on…lol
Hi Vaness! I agree, there are so many wonderful choices for bad boys to love! I’d love to read about a kickass badboy fairy. 🙂
Would have to say Silar from the Tv show Heros..Theres just something about him..Looking forward to reading the new series…
Thanks so much, Sandy. My stepson and I watched Heroes, I miss it!
Mine would have to be Vin Diesel in the Pacifier. I could entertain myself wqtching him chase the kids any day. 😉
There’s definitely something about a man that can kick ass and change a diaper. 🙂
Hey, I have to agree with you on Damon being my favorite bad boy on tv, though in the movies I have to say Dominic Purcell as Drake in Blade 3, and in books there are a bunch, Rhage is great, but I have to go with Sin in Sherriynn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series.
I completely forgot about Drake. I really loved Dominic in Prison Break, he’s so gorgeous, and I loved him Blade 3, too. That’s my fav of the series, mostly ’cause of him. OK, I must read the Dark Hunter series!
Bad boys… where do I start? Christian from the 50 Shades books, Damon from Vampire D, Jason from Jason and Cadence,Mr. Wickham from Pride and Prejudice, Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse novels… So many, so little time!!
Great list, Wendy!
I have to say my favorite bad boy is nick hawke from shallow by georgia cates…. man i love his chacter hes my favorite bad bou of all time
I haven’t read that story, but I like the character’s name! Nice and strong. A good ‘bad boy’ name. 🙂
Bad boy from TV has to be spike from Buffy the vampire slayer!! Book Zane from Jill myles the succubi saga but I’m very partial to nicky charles Kane and rayne mmmmmm. Film gotta be kiefer Sutherland in the lost boys xxx
All very ‘good’ bad boys! Love all of them. I especially loved Spike early in the series when he was with Dru and all sorts of insane but still managed to treat her like a queen.
Definately can’t beat Dean from Supernatural…mmrroww! My heart belongs to Zhadist from the J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood…sooo jealous of Bella and film I go all the way with Spartacus….any one of them…mmmmmm. Can’t wait to read about your bad guys. Bring them on!
I’m a huge Spartacus fan, especially Crixus. Manu Bennett is such a freaking hottie. Thanks so much, Caroline, I can’t wait for tomorrow!
I already commented once but there is are so many like Gildeon cross in bared to you by Sylvia Day and Sam and Dean from Supernatural oh and Christian from fifty shades of grey and I love all the bad boys from your books.
You’re so sweet, Sabrina! I could talk about bad boys all day long. I haven’t read Bared to You, but it’s on my TBR.
