Synopsis:
Sometimes the only choice is to take a chance...and enjoy the
consequences.
Sean Reynolds is content wielding his
dominant personality as the public face of Kagan Industries. Pack
leadership—and all the responsibilities that go with it—doesn’t interest him.
But when alpha-in-waiting Nic Kagan skips town, there’s no one to take on his
aging father’s spirit wolf. No one but Sean.
Sean wants none of it, but with his
wolf growling in eagerness to fill that void, he heads for the bar in an
attempt to drink the beast into submission.
He’d like to ignore the sultry blonde
shifter burning up the dance floor with moves that make him painfully aware of
the full moon. But when she abruptly disappears, his wolf sends him in hot
pursuit. Following the scent of a female he can see in his bed not for a single
night, but for a lifetime...
Excerpt:
He crouched so as not to appear
as threatening and folded his hands loosely in front of him. “Well, now that
you made me ruin my clothes and took me for a run through the woods, are you
going to tell me what frightened you?”
She stiffened but didn’t shift.
He motioned in the direction of
the bar. “Was it that pathetic human? Or a different one, because I’ll—”
She shook her head.
“Another shifter, then? Someone
from your pack harassing you?” Without the evidence of one, it didn’t seem
likely, but he couldn’t imagine what else would’ve sent her running.
Again, she shook her head.
“Okay, then.” He waited a moment,
then blew out a breath. “Look, why don’t you just shift and talk to me? Don’t
be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you.”
A long moment passed while she
studied him through her icy wolf eyes before she eased her tense posture and
shifted. He watched in awe as she changed shapes, a sight he’d seen hundreds of
times, yet never had the flip in forms mesmerized him the way hers did. For one
brief second, a fuzzy image of a white wolf meshed with that of the woman who
housed it. A glowing tether connected them, heart to heart. Her wolf’s shape
faded and hers gained dimension. In the next moment, a naked female stood
before him.
Hand planted on her hip, she raised
her chin. “I’m not afraid of you.”
He swept his gaze over her. It
was impossible not to. Full breasts, shapely hips and lush thighs—she was
beautiful. No, gorgeous. Hell, even that didn’t do her justice, but he couldn’t
think of a better description. He only knew he’d never laid eyes on a more
perfect female, but if he didn’t tear his gaze from the space between her legs,
her opinion of him would be less than stellar.
He glanced into her face. “I’m
glad. I didn’t want to scare you, but I was afraid someone was after you. When
you took off, I reacted. I couldn’t let any of the humans see a wolf running
through their town.”
“You’re right.” Her shoulders
slumped. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”
“Don’t apologize. It’s the full
moon. Makes even the most levelheaded more prone to act on instinct.”
“That’s what I was trying to
avoid by running away from you.”
“Me?” He pointed to himself.
“What did I do to frighten you? Was it because I shoved that loser against the
wall? If so, you should know I didn’t hurt him.”
“I believe you.”
He pushed to his feet. “Then what
did I do?”

About the Author:
A true
romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced there’s a knight in shining
armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find damsels in distress in her
stories. She adores pairing alpha heroes with women strong enough to match them
and bring them to their knees. She also enjoys flipping the traditional roles
in romances because her motto is—love and people should never be forced to
conform to anyone’s norm.
She
holds a degree in chemistry and has worked in research but now focuses on
ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect outlet for her as she’s the
first to admit she has some OCD tendencies. It carries over into her writing
life too. While engrossed in a novel, she has a habit of forgetting to eat and
sleep. Fortunately, she’s married to her own knight in shining armor who
understands her oddities and loves her anyway. They reside in Pennsylvania with
their three children, dog, snake and guinea pigs. Her other interests include
tattoos, animals, classic cars and all things spooky and sexy.
