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
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.”
