For years, Melissa
Hewitt has dreamed of being hunted by a panther, a huge, black creature that

stresses of her work – a job that come with a handsome but unfriendly boss who
exudes both danger and allure. There is something about Leander Garrett,
however, that draws Melissa, making him almost impossible to ignore; that, and
the fact that once they had been friends.
As winter turns into

mountains, and Lee has a secret that lurks beneath his elegant clothes and

most.
Can he learn to see
the good in himself and finally allow his heart to love, and be loved in
return?

paranormal romance, Moondance will keep you enthralled to the very last page.

Excerpt One:
Darkness hung over the ground like a pall as Melissa
stumbled blindly through the forest, lurching between shadowy trunks and
swerving around bushes that seemed to materialize out of nowhere. Barbed
branches clawed her face and arms, leaving angry welts in their wake.
Protruding roots, intent on hindering her escape, sent her to her knees,
leaving them scratched and bleeding. She gasped for breath as the blood pounded
furiously in her ears while her chest burned with each breath. Sweat dripped
down her forehead, covering her brow. Fear had slickened her palms, and her legs
trembled as she careened between the trees. Behind her, her pursuer flew with
seeming effortlessness over the ground, its enormous paws making no sound as it
closed the gap between them. From the corner of her eye she saw the huge cat
drawing alongside her, its bright green eyes shining eerily in the dark. Her
foot caught the rough end of a stump, and she flung out her hands as she
tumbled to the ground. The panther leaped toward her as her screams tore
through the air.
Melissa jolted upright in her bed, her eyes wide as she
searched her room in terror for the beast. Rigid fingers gripped the sheet,
straining the fabric until it was close to ripping. Her heart hammered in her
chest, the memory of reaching claws and hot breath on her neck still too close
to dismiss. She loosened her hold on the sheet one aching finger at a time
until it fell from her grip.
