Description:
The
heart of a warrior, the soul of a wolf, and the desires of a man…
For
centuries, Cormack has lived between worlds—a man trapped in the
body of a wolf, shunned by humans and shifters alike. Only one person
has ever welcomed his company: Elen, a kindred outcast who is feared
by others of her ancient Celtic race for her strange healing
abilities.
Cormack
has always valued Elen’s kindness and understanding, but after a
desperate act of friendship causes Elen to free him from his curse,
he realizes he wants more. He wants all of her—completely and
forever. Except before Cormack can win Elen’s heart, Pendaran, the
evil leader of the Guardians, captures her, determined to manipulate
her incredible power to aid him in his twisted war against the
shapeshifting tribes.
Now
Cormack must use all of his skills as a warrior and a wolf to save
the woman he loves—before Pendaran’s vile schemes destroy them
all…
Excerpt
from Autumn Moon
Too
wired to sleep, Elen opened the wine and poured a glass, sipping
quietly as she walked over to the bed. Cormack slept above the
coverlet and on his back, with one arm raised over his head, while
the other rested by his side. His hair was still damp from his
shower, and he wore jeans but no shirt, as if he’d just rested his
head and sleep claimed him first.
His
chest rose and fell with even breaths. She was not one to marvel
over physical attributes, but this was Cormack, and his body was
meant for pleasure, like a goddess had molded him for her personal
divine gratification. His frame was large, and toned, with wide
shoulders and a firm chest that tapered down to his hips. His
hardened stomach would provide the perfect friction were she to ride
him just like this.
And
as that image flooded her mind, another, more wicked one, followed.
It was greedy, and selfish, but all her niceness had been used up for
the day. He looked peaceful, and innocent, but the man was
practically immortal after all. Their kind did not die from lack of
sleep. They might go mad, of course, but that took a few weeks. And
had he not said, do with me as you will?
She
needed to touch him. That was all. Well, no, she wanted more, but
for now that would do. Taking a sip of her wine, she gently set the
glass on an end table by the bed, and gave into temptation. Starting
by his heart, she brushed lightly across his chest, tracing down the
indent between, and lingering on the valleys and curves of his
muscles. Flattening her hand over his stomach, she felt the soft
hair that began just above the waistband of his jeans and disappeared
below. She had never seen him in this restful state, at least not in
his human form, and took in her ravenous fill.
Her
hand lingered over the button of his jeans. She swallowed, wanting…
Oh, how she wanted. It burned like molten earth, fed by a need that
had been denied for too long. Even now she felt her body moisten and
swell just from imagining what waited beyond that closure, and how it
would feel inside her.
Or
how it would taste.
She
thumbed the button. A quick flick was all it would take.
A
sound made her jolt, an intake of breath perhaps, followed by a
sudden rise under her hands. She snapped her eyes to his face.
Cormack
was awake.
And
watching her.
A
fire raged within his cerulean gaze. “Kill me now if you stop,
Elen, because then I’ll know I’m well and truly cursed and I
cannot be tortured anymore.”
