Synopsis:
Brett Dalton, Alpha of Hudson
River, isolated himself from his pack mates after one betrayed him. The once,
easygoing Alpha has become taciturn, remote and unforgiving. His pack worries
for him, but they too have suffered a devastating blow. When several members
leave to join Three Rivers, the pack faces the threat of dissolution until
Brett's best friend and Lone Wolf, Luc Danes returns to Hudson River
accompanied by a beautiful young human—or is she? Something about the woman
consumes Brett. Has Luc come home to help or to take the pack from Brett?
Colby Jenson wrapped up thousands
of hours of community service working at the hospital in Maine when an injured
Luc Danes rolled through the door. The impossible patient drove the nurses
crazy, but when Danes offered her money no strings attached to drive him to New
York, she agreed. The last thing she expected was to arrive in the small
Westchester County town and to meet the craziest collection of
residents—especially the devastatingly sexy Brett Dalton. Part of her wants to
hit the road, the rest wants to make him smile and he keeps making excuses for
her to stay.
Then she sees the wolves...and is
exposed to a world she can barely imagine. When Brett discovers a secret about
her, nothing will be the same again. Now she will find herself torn between a
world she isn't sure she can understand and the man who has taken her heart
hostage...
Praise for the Wolves of Willow Bend series:
“Long
dished out a lot of unexpected twists and turns and did a great job tying it
all together. The build-up and bits of action kept me up late at night flipping
the pages.” – Booked & Loaded
"ROGUE WOLF is a fast paced, intriguing look into the world of
shifters. Salvatore is old world a bit stodgy and Margo is very much new world
and on top of that a lone wolf and Enforcer. How is it possible that these two
could be mates? In author Heather Long's vivid and fun imagination it's very
easy." - Fresh Fiction
"BAYOU WOLF is in a word ... amazing. All the reader can do is
hold on for the ride and enjoy the fireworks." - Fresh Fiction
“If you love sexy wolf shifters, sweet love stories and action then you
have to pick up UNTAMED WOLF by Heather Long.” - Annetta Sweetko, Fresh
Fiction
Excerpt from River Wolf:
So not ready to be
awake…
A knock on the door intruded in
her drifting and she groaned. Dammit, she was a guest. She couldn’t stay in bed
all day. In fact, what she needed to do was get up, shower, dress and get her
ass on the road. Florida seemed a hell of a long way to go, though. Rolling
over, she shoved the blankets away then climbed out of the bed. Glaring at the
light between the curtains, she rubbed a hand over her face, then stumbled to
the door.
Opening it a crack, she gazed at
her host. Goddammit. He looked perfect. Dressed in a clean, nicely pressed
shirt with the top two buttons open to reveal the faint curls of dark against
his chest and smelling like heaven, he looked good enough to eat. His hair
wasn’t even damp, though it fell in a soft wave toward his forehead. He’d been
up long enough to shower and dress—and he wore a smile.
“Ugh,” she sighed. “Please God
tell me you are not one of those happy morning people.”
The corner of his sensual mouth
quirked higher. The effect on his expression devastated her sleepy senses. No
human should ever look so damn good without coffee. The combination of rake and
boy next door added to his appeal, but the trace of scars and mottled skin gave
him a ruggedness she desperately wanted to smooth away. “I woke you.”
“Not exactly,” she admitted,
rubbing her cheek against the door and leaning on it a little more heavily.
Everything ached and she wanted to go back to sleep. “I’m used to getting by on
a lot less sleep.” And rolling out of bed to go to work for eight hour shifts
that as often as not turned into ten to twelve hours on her feet. “I think I am
tireder than I thought.” She yawned the last three words, and when she glanced
at him again, his expression softened.
Extending a finger, he traced the
line of her cheek and it was a soothing motion, one which had her eyes
half-closing in pleasure. “Go back to bed, Colby.” His voice washed over her.
“I’ll be in my office working.”
“I can’t laze about in bed all
day.” No matter how good it sounded.
“Why not?”
“Because…” She had to go to
Florida or at least say her goodbyes. She was a guest and not even an
intentional one. “…Luc. I should
probably check on him.”
“He’s fine, the doctor is with
him.” The indulgence in his voice evaporated, but the steadiness in his tone
remained. “Go sleep. When you wake up, come find me. We’ll have coffee.”
Tempting. So. So. Tempting. “I’m
up now…but coffee sounds like heaven. Really, really strong coffee.”
“Double pot? I made one, I can
run it through again.”
Colby groaned at the idea. Now
that he’d mentioned it, she could smell the coffee. It proved even more
alluring than the sweet vanilla and jasmine entwining the pine of his cologne
on her pillow. Releasing the door to stretch, she would have thumped her tail
if she’d had one. “Yes, please. If it wouldn’t be too much to ask.”
Silence greeted her comment, and
she found Brett gazing at her. Rapt admiration in his eyes as he trailed his
gaze down her body and up again.
Fuck me… She still only wore a t-shirt and panties and she’d just
given him a show. “Crap. Sorry.” Slamming the door shut, she leaned against it.
Adrenaline burned through the remaining traces of sleepiness, adrenaline and a
healthy dose of lust. Having him look at her like that warmed inside and out.
“Please,” his voice stroked her
through the door. “Don’t apologize. I’ll go fix the coffee. Come and find me.”
The invitation had her toes
curling and she bit her lip. “I will,” she said, then added in a low whisper.
“I promise.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
A shiver skated over her spine
and she closed her eyes. Maybe she should have invited him inside to go back to
bed with her. Inappropriate as hell, and impulsive, but she bet Brett would
wake her even better than the coffee.
He already has…
