Book 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
Too wired to sleep, Elen opened the wine and poured a glass,
sipping quietly as she walked over tothe 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.”
