Book Description:
Melanie is a White Wolf spirit
healer—a maggishahwi--who hears the last call of a dying soul. She’s loved Mike
Dorland forever. But her Cinderella hopes and glass-slipper dreams of a happy
ever after with her Prince Charming are shattered the day her father kills
Mike’s while driving drunk. Now Mike hates her, and when Mike returns to their
home town, she’s both devastated and thrilled.
Mike’s the eldest son of one of
the original three founders of the quaint town of Chabegawn, and a half-breed wolf
who’s found his mate—Melanie. Mike returns to find the town torn apart by a
series of vicious and malicious black bear slayings. Then the town’s beloved,
world-famous horse breeder vanishes and his ravaged remains are found.
Melanie’s bent on saving black
bear mothers and cubs, and she will risk her life to bait and capture the
killers. But Mike will gamble everything to protect his mate.

Deep Excerpt – PG-rated, 529 words
“I apologize. I
was totally out of line.”
Mike.
Her heartbeat
went into overdrive. Melanie clutched her chest. Anger came to the rescue. She
spun around. “Apology not accepted. You were plain mean and nasty. Just because
you’re worth a fortune doesn’t give you the right to treat people like that.”
“I only ever
apologize once, Melanie. And I never say anything I don’t mean.” Mike folded
his arms and raised an eyebrow.
He knew her
first name? Doc G. must’ve told him. She fought the fluttery belly quivers that
always assailed her in his presence. Jutted the jaw Mama said was too square
for any female. “Fine. Apology accepted. Now if you don’t mind, I have work to
do.”
“Doc G.’s
closing up. He says he’ll do the autopsy tomorrow. I’ll be here for it.”
Nooo. What in
heck is wrong with Doc G.? Melanie gritted her teeth. Why does Mike want to see
the autopsy?
“Do you want to
wash up?” Mike angled his head toward the sink to the right. “I’ll drop you
home. Doc got a call from Jim Balden. He thinks his mare’s dropping the foal
tonight.”
So not what she
needed. Or wanted. Mike Dorland driving her to the reservation and seeing the
broken-down three-bedroom shack the White family occupied. Poor and proud and
shunned, even by the rest of the tribe. Melanie straightened her shoulders.
Tough titties. She was what she was and wasn’t nothin’ nohow going to change
that.
“I’ll call a
cab.” She made to move around him, and he caught her hand and drew close.
Too close.
He smelled like
paradise. Like a warm sea so blue and clear and sparkling it hurt to see when
you stared at the glinting waters. Like equatorial sun baking her skin and
raising a hot sweat. Like a tropical breeze whipping exotic aphrodisiacs every
which way and creaming her sex.
“Little idiot. I
bet you intend to walk the fifteen miles. You always did act as if I stunk up
your air.”
Had the floor
turned liquid? No, her knees had. She grabbed the counter and tried to shake
off the thick fingers circling her wrist in a steely but somehow gentle grip.
“Stunk up my air?”
“Half-breed not
good enough for a full-blooded Cwaatchii? For the daughter of a Ska Awhi? For
the granddaughter of Ixota Migziwa?”
His nose was so
close she had to blink to get his features in focus.
Her mouth
opened. Nothing came out. She licked her suddenly dry lips.
“That’s it.” He
picked her up and jammed her against the wall. Her face was level with his.
Then he kissed her, and the world turned upside down and inside out. He tasted
of all her pumpkin-coach dreams, of all her tortured teenaged visions of
knights, rescue, and happy every after, of every single, furtive pleasuring of
herself with his image in her head. Smoky, citrusy, and stomach-clenching
delicious.
His hold on her
firmed. His arm went around her waist, and when he nudged her legs apart, she
surrendered. Worked her fingers into the silk of his hair and kissed him back,
touching her tongue to his.

Award winning author, Jianne
Carlo’s motto is simple: Alpha Me Please.
While strong heroines, exotic
locations, and cultural differences are her forte, she goes weak in the knees
for bad boys, warriors, and alphas. Send her a man with an attitude and she’ll
find the right woman to tame him.
Jianne loves hot and spicy food,
stomach-plunging park rides, and is kept on her toes by her Viking husband of
thirty-five years, and three, handsome grown sons. Jianne’s a Zumba addict who
loves to cook. Her favorite possession is her ‘Robo-stove. There’s nothing she
likes more than hearing from readers.
