Book Description:
Leader of an elite psychic team, Cole Courtland is a shape-shifting wolf with a deep connection to the power of the Earth. His investigation of a string of mysterious murders throws him into the dangerous world of the Quytel and leads him straight to Brianna Doherty’s door.
Bri is plagued by vicious nightmares of death and pain that leave her wondering about her own history. When her home is under siege, an enigmatic stranger appears out of nowhere to save her.
Thrown together in a tangle of desire and danger, they are pulled deeper into the secretive world of the Quytel, an ancient order charged with maintaining the balance of psychic and paranormal power on earth. Staying one step ahead of those who would destroy them, they struggle to unravel the truth of Bri’s past and her family legacy. As her relationship with Cole grows stronger, the reality of who Bri is threatens to tear them apart.
Excerpt:
Bri knew him. It
had been his face in her nightmare. His presence had soothed and calmed her
that night. He stood right in front of her now and had just ripped the door off
a room no one should have been able to find.
Please don’t let
him be my enemy, she whispered in her mind. Who else could he be?
Holding the gun
more firmly locked on her target, Bri hoped it deterred him because she knew
she would never be able to shoot this beautiful man.
“Are you going
to shoot me?” His voice, strong and clear, didn’t sound too worried.
Bri shivered. A
sharp stab of desire shot straight through her, and at first she didn’t really
register his words.
“We don’t have
much time,” he pressed.
A thud
downstairs startled her. The man moved fast. She had no time to react before he
snatched the 9-millimeter easily out of her hand. He tucked it into the
waistband of his jeans and grabbed her other arm.
His touch was
electric. When he took a step closer, he crowded her and she could almost feel
the hard muscles of his broad chest. The loss of her gun left her completely
vulnerable.
He placed a
finger lightly against her trembling lips and her stomach did a slow roll.
“Don’t move. Don’t yell.” He whispered the words softly into the shell of her
ear. “I’m here to help you, Brianna. You have to trust me.”
She shivered.
How did he know her name? She felt trapped, caught in an overpowering spell
that heated her body. She was tall, but he was taller. And gorgeous, much
better looking than she remembered from her nightmare. A part of her recognized
she should be far more frightened of him than she was.
“There are men
downstairs tearing your house apart right now. I have no idea why they’re searching
for you. I can get you out of here, but we have to go now.” A quiet command.
“I’m not here to hurt you. Trust me.”
Bri took a
defensive step away. He didn’t let her go far, silver-gray eyes holding hers,
willing her to believe him. The secret passageways inside the walls of the
house would be too risky now that the room had been exposed.
