Synopsis:
An erotic paranormal romance…Dimitri LeBlanc, sexy and charismatic beta of Acadian Wolves, survives a brutal attack after his wolf succumbs to a dark force, threatening his very existence. Waking up, tied to a bed, his amusement transforms into lust as a beautiful stranger heals his beast. Intrigued by his mysterious savior, the tables quickly turn, when in the heat of a dark desert night, he rescues her from a barbaric Alpha. Dimitri is inexplicably drawn to the alluring woman, and the discovery that she’s his mate rouses his hunger to claim her as his own.
Gillian Michel, a New York City photographer, conceals a secret hybrid past and mystical abilities. An entire lifetime, she’s deliberately avoided wolves, but a seductive encounter with an irresistible beta leaves her craving his touch, his lips on hers. Passion ignites her desire, leaving her yearning to submit to the powerful wolf who tests her sexual limits.
Deep in the heart of New Orleans, Dimitri and Gillian seek a cure to the parasite maligning his mighty beast. Still on the run from a malevolent force, they lure their enemy into the bayou. Will Gillian sacrifice her gifts to save the man she loves, destroying her own immortality? And will Dimitri eradicate the evil that has invaded his soul while protecting his mate from an adversary who threatens to kill them both?

Dimitri yanked on the restraints, his wrists firmly secured at his
sides. The sweet scent of a woman danced
through his mind and he swore he felt the warmth of a smooth hand on his thigh.
A moan alerted him to the fact that he wasn’t alone, and his cock hardened in
response. If it weren’t for the caustic
pain tearing through his muscles, he’d have thought he was having a wet
dream. But as he attempted to open his
eyes, memories of his last thoughts slammed into him.
Teeth. Claws. Blood.
Submission. As his chest heaved
for breath, his hands curled into the bed and saliva dripped from his mouth as
he recalled being attacked on the beach.
A pack of feral wolves had torn into him. Helplessly, he’d fought them,
unable to shift. At some point the
slashing agony of the attack had ceased; the smooth sound of a woman’s voice
curled around him in comfort as he surrendered to unconsciousness.
“Shh…you’re okay. Stay still.”
Not his Alpha’s command, yet Dimitri’s mind quieted. His dried, cracked lips parted. But before he had a chance to utter a word,
the seal between where her skin met his began to heat. His eyes flew open and rolled back into his
head as tendrils of healing seeped into his skin. Instinctively, he thrashed against the
bindings. His hands fisted the leather,
and he shook the bed’s metal frame until it rattled uncontrollably. As the tingling spread throughout his body,
overwhelming relief from the pain swept through him and he gasped. By the time
it was over, tears ran down his face.
Not only had the crushing misery disappeared; for the first time in
weeks, his wolf howled in celebration.
“My wolf,” he cried. “You healed me?
How? What are you?”
“You should be okay once you shift…for a few days, anyway,” the female
responded breathlessly, her lips accidentally brushing his chest. “Can’t
promise you any longer. You need to see
a witch. A shaman may be able to help.”
“But how did you know? My
wolf…” Dimitri’s words trailed off as
his vision slowly came into focus. He glanced down to the silky raven hair that
brushed over his abdomen.
“Your wolf…he recovers.”
“Jesus Christ, the pack. They
tried to kill me. How did I get here?”
“You’ve got an awful lot of questions for an almost dead man,” she
responded.
“What can I say? Near death
does that to a guy. Last thing I
remember, those dogs were takin’ a bite outta my neck. As much as I wish I had nine lives, I ain’t
no cat, if you noticed.”
“Oh I noticed.” She laughed, concealing her face. “Seems to me, you
should be doing a little more thanking and a little less asking.”
“Now don’t take it the wrong way, cher. It’s not that I don’t appreciate ya healin’
me with whatever voodoo you do, but you’ve gotta see this from my perspective.”
He gave a small chuckle as his wrists tugged the straps taut. He glanced at his
makeshift handcuffs, noticing she’d used belts to restrain him. “So ya want to
tell me why I’m tied to the bed? Believe
me, I’m down with the kink as much as the next wolf. But call me crazy, this doesn’t really seem
on the up and up.”
“Sorry, lover boy, but I did it for my own safety. You were a bit wild when I brought you
here. You know what they say when a dog
gets hit by a car…it can bite out of fear and pain.”
“Hey now, no need for name calling.
There’s no dog here. You got yourself
a wolf, darlin’.”
“I know what you are. Doesn’t
matter. I take my life pretty
seriously. I admit I’m not in the
business of tying up men, but I can assure you that I trussed you up for
self-preservation purposes only.”
Dimitri felt the lilt of her smile curl against his skin and silently
cursed as his dick twitched in response.
He laughed inwardly at his predicament, as he jerked at his
bindings. Sure, he was tied up good. On the up side, he’d survived the attack and
had woken up with a beautiful woman next to him. Not the optimal situation, but it could be
worse. He was alive and damn, if it
didn’t turn him on to feel the top of her thigh brush against his own. ‘Bondage
anytime anywhere’ just might become his new motto. He knew it was wrong to be thinking about
sex, given the seriousness of the situation, but hey, when in Rome…
