Tired of running from the past, Connor Burrows is working his way home to Los Lobos. He knows he needs to face his family and finally come to terms with the horrors of their shared past.

Trapped by the beast inside

When a handsome, charming, infuriating stranger rides into town, he threatens to destroy the carefully constructed walls she uses to protect herself, and everyone else around her.

A man on a mission

Excerpt
“What’s your story, little
wolf? You smell so delicious, I’m half out of my mind for you, and yet there’s
no trace of pack on you. No scent of any male on your skin either, which is
good because I’d hate to have to kill someone for touching what is mine.” Such
dark, violent words should have disgusted her, but they didn’t. They spoke to
the animal instincts she’d battled against her whole life.
Wolf.
He used the word so
casually, as though shifting from human to beast was perfectly natural. Nothing
to be ashamed of, not the dirty secret she’d been raised to see it as. “What
are you?” She gasped, but, in her heart, she already knew.
He gripped her chin in a
fierce hold, twisting her neck to the edge of pain so he could stare her in the
eye. “I am a wolf, the same as you. A member of the Tao pack. We reside deep in
the Black Hills.” His eyes narrowed, the cool gray darkening to charcoal. “You
must recognize one of your own. My wolf knows yours, lover. Knows you are our
mate.”
She wrenched her chin from
his bruising hold, bracing her hands against the edge of her desk. She shoved
hard until the huge antique piece scraped against the burnished wooden floor.
The gap she created offered an escape route, and she leapt away from the
decadent heat of his body. The scent, the feel of him scrambled her brains. She
held out her hand to ward him off when he started to approach. “Stay back, just
stay back and let me think, goddammit!” His eyes fixed on her heaving chest as
she panted, and she snapped her fingers angrily. “Hey! My face is up here!”
A slow, lazy, grin curled
his plump lips, drawing her attention to their softness. They were the only
soft-looking thing about him. His big body looked carved of pure muscle, his
thick arms and legs straining the seams of his clothing. He had a presence
about him, too, a surety and confidence in the way he held himself. She found
his arrogance equal parts annoying and delicious.
