When veterinarian, Dr. Carly Tipton,
takes a new job in the tiny farming community of Lunar Falls, she expects to
build a new life for herself. She expects to meet new people and have new
experiences. Maybe she’s even expecting a little adventure. But what she’s not
expecting is to fall head over heels in love – not with the town, and certainly
not with its ruggedly sexy sheriff, Gabriel Masters. She’s also not expecting
all the secrets Lunar Falls is hiding. Secrets that could destroy everything
she ever believed was true about her own heritage and the family she left back
home.
Gabe isn’t ready for Carly when she
blows into town. That woman has the power to bring him – a man born and raised
to be a GrandAlpha – to his knees, and she’s human! That simple fact alone
makes her dangerous to Gabe’s position within the pack. But the fact that he
can’t seem to stay away from her tells him that this woman is the one. Human or
not … she’s his mate. And now Gabe has to find a way to make their bonding
complete without sparking a civil war among his people.
Secrets of Lunar Falls is book one of
an adult, sexy shifter romance trilogy.

Hidden in the dense
brush, he watched as the hybrid ran toward her and followed her back into the
house. Then he stayed close by until he felt her fear dissipating. He hadn’t
meant to frighten her. He hadn’t meant for her to sense him at all, he only
wanted to check on her, make sure she was okay, just as he had done each night
from the moment they’d met. And being completely honest with himself, he knew
that he’d just wanted to see her. If only for a moment.
He rose from his
crouching position and stood on two legs, sniffing the air and catching her
delicious scent. Then he drew in a deep breath and let it out in a frustrated
huff that sounded more like a growl than a sigh.
Inside the house
Carly attempted to let the strange sensation go as she readied herself for
bed, but when she slipped between the sheets she had difficulty falling asleep.
She tossed and turned for nearly half an hour before finally drifting off. But
the memory of her sensual experience in the garden lingered, even in her
dreams, and Carly soon found herself in the woods at Wolf Creek, running.
She was wearing a
knee-length billowy night gown and running barefoot among the trees, a smile on
her face as she relished the tingle on her skin. She looked up at the bright,
shining moon as she ran through the woods, and she laughed. The sound echoed
all around them.
Them.
She wasn’t alone.
She smiled at the wolves running all around her, running with her. She was one
of them, wild and free, and they ran and ran for what seemed like hours.
Then she was
standing in a clearing of the forest, her canine companions milling about
around her. One of them, a large black wolf with glowing gray eyes, stepped out
from among the others and walked toward her. She reached out to him, staring
into his smoky eyes, and suddenly he wasn’t a wolf anymore. He was a man,
crouched down before her. She smiled as Gabe Masters slowly stood, completely
naked, looming tall and imposing as he stared down into her eyes. She felt his
hands running along her now naked body, heating her still tingling skin. Then
his hands were in her hair as he gently pulled her head back. He leaned in
close, his lips and his nose lightly brushing over her skin as he sniffed her
neck, inhaling deeply. An act that caused her body to shiver. Then his tongue
retraced the path his nose had just taken, running from the base of her neck
all the way up to the back of her ear, and she moaned loudly.
She woke with a start
at the sound of her own voice, and she looked around the bedroom in a heated
frenzy. Her cotton nightshirt was drenched with sweat and totally plastered to
her damp skin, and she sat up wiping the thin sheen of perspiration from her
forehead as she softly panted. She’d never had such a vivid erotic dream
before, and never about someone she actually knew. A singer or two. Maybe the
latest Hollywood hunk, but Sheriff Masters? She’d only met him a few days
before, and granted the man was sexy as hell, but why was he starring in her
very real, very wet dream? An erotic dream about wolves, no less.
“Shit. What is
wrong with me?” she mumbled to herself.
Throwing back the
covers, she got out of the bed and pulled her nightshirt over her head,
stripping naked, save for the tiger’s eye necklace she rarely took off. She
walked over to the armoire and opened the door of the wardrobe and took out a
fresh nightgown, slipping it over her head. Then she tossed the damp one into
the hamper on her way out of the room.
She walked through
the dark house to the kitchen and opened the freezer, reaching in to grab a
single cube of ice. Then she ran the frozen sliver of relief across her chest
in an effort to cool off as she tried to push the enticing image of Gabe
Masters licking her neck from her mind.
Outside, not twenty
feet away, he sat at her back door, feeling her nearness. Smelling her arousal
as it mingled with her mouth-watering scent and wafted through the open kitchen
window. And as he sat there reveling in the essence of her, he wondered what it
would feel like to really run his tongue along her beautiful neck.
