Black Hills Wolves Book Fourteen
While tracking a wolf from Georgia to South Dakota, wildlife biologist, Isabelle Acker, meets sexy park ranger, Wyatt Powell. His Wolf sits up and takes notice of her, but when he learns why she came to the park, he becomes wary of her intentions. After all, as far as the general population knows, there are no wolves in the Black Hills.
Ordered by his Alpha to keep an eye on the smoking-hot biologist, Wyatt finds it difficult to keep his hands to himself. He wants to possess her, to share everything about his life, but that might endanger the Tao Pack. But the attraction proves too great and, unable to deny his Wolf, he takes her with a passion he didn’t know he possessed.
However, their sexual bliss is short-lived, and on the night of the full moon, more than one secret is revealed. When all is said and done, they must each decide—is what they have between them true love or just hot sex?

Your Wild Heart Excerpt:
“I feel the need for some coffee. Would you care to join me?” Her voice oozed exaggerated Southern charm.
Her challenge was too good to pass up. “Sure.” They marched toward her campsite in silence until they reached the narrowest part of the river. There he crossed to her side and asked, “Is there something wrong with the public campsites?”
“No, why?”
“Most people prefer to be near the restrooms and showers, but you chose all the way out here. Why?”
“I want to see as much of the natural state of the park as possible. I can’t do that around cleared areas filled with dozens of people. Especially when half of them have no respect for the environment.”
“And you do,” he said it as a statement, not a question.
“Yes.”
“You know it’s not safe for a woman to be out in the middle of nowhere. Alone.”
She stopped. “Look. I heard enough arguments from my dad and my brother before I left. I am well aware of the risks.” Her hand flailed as she spoke. “I’ve been hiking and camping for more years than I can remember. I’m in better shape than most men, and I’ve taken enough self-defense classes that I could teach them by now.” Planting her hands on her hips she declared, “I can take care of myself.”
He raised his brow. “I assumed you could. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. But that doesn’t mean it is without risk, and I am obligated to point it out.”
“Fine.” She resumed her march. “You pointed it out. Thanks.”
Taking the lead in the conversation, she quizzed him about his background, his job, and how long he’d worked for the park. Wyatt had the feeling she was sizing him up for something. When they reached their destination, she waved him toward the chairs under her trailer’s canopy.
“So, tell me. Have you noticed any environmental changes around the area?”
Wyatt frowned. “Like what?”
She flitted from her trailer to her table, gathering things for the coffee. “Climate changes, increased rainfall, more flowering plants, less bees. Anything that could impact the overall habitat of the region.”
“That’s kind of a broad question.”
“Yeah, I know. Just wondering if anything stands out to you.”
“Our weather hasn’t been out of the ordinary. Like everywhere, we’ve had years that were too dry and others where we had a problem with flooding.” He scratched his jaw as he searched his memories. “Can’t tell you whether there’s more or less flowers around. There are few varieties I keep an eye out for. As for bees, we had a couple of scientists show up a few years ago to study them.”
“Really?” She handed him a cup of warm, not hot, java, then sat in the other chair with her feet tucked beneath her.
It occurred to him her feet were bare. Unusual for a city girl. “They said they were documenting every species of bee in the region. If they missed any, I’d be surprised. Those guys were devoted to their cause.”
“Do you remember who conducted the study?” Excitement rang in her voice.
He shook his head. “No, sorry. Not off the top of my head. But I think I still have one of their business cards at the office if you’re interested.”
“That would be great. Thanks.”
“Is that why you’re here? To study the environment? I thought you were some big wolf specialist?”
“Wolves are my specialty. They are interesting because I believe their behaviors, or more to the point, changes in their behavior patterns can be an indicator of changes in the environment.”
“What do you mean?”
“They act as an early warning system if you know what to look for.”
“So, what are you doing in the Black Hills? There aren’t any wolves here,” he challenged.
“I think there are,” she said in a matter-of-fact tone.
He raised his brow to mock her words, but inside, an alarm went off. “I’ve worked in the park for over five years. I’ve lived in the area my entire life. There are no wolves here.”
She shrugged her shoulder. “I aim to prove that one way or the other.”
Wyatt gulped the last of his coffee and stood. “Well, I hope you don’t leave too disappointed.”
“We’ll see,” she said with a sly smile.
“Thank you for the coffee.” He set the cup on the table. “I need to return to work.”
“So, was this a social call then?”
“Maybe a little of both.” He pulled a business card out of his wallet and slid it under the mug. “That’s my number. If you run into any problems, give me a call.”
“Thank you.”
He tugged the brim of his cap. “Be careful out here.”
“I will.”
With one last look, he headed to his truck. He hated the idea of her staying out here alone. She may have years of experience camping and be able to defend herself in many cases, but a lone female in the middle of nowhere was asking for trouble. Anything could happen.
But it wasn’t his place to tell her otherwise.
Right now, his concern for the pack took priority. Her stay in the park could endanger the secrecy and privacy they’d worked so hard to cultivate.
Drew, their Alpha, would never allow that.
What would Drew do to her if he decided she was a threat? After some of the vicious things his dad had done, pack leadership still made him leery. But it would be worse if Wyatt didn’t report what he knew and things spiraled out of control. Many lives—many families—could be affected, and that he couldn’t live with.
As soon as he got in and buckled his seatbelt, he pulled out his phone. His call connected. “It’s Wyatt. We may have a problem.”

Down To Business Excerpt:
John’s grin changed into something almost feral as he looked at the peach-colored thong sitting on one of the stacks of paper, then he looked at her. Leigh felt as if he could see right through her clothing. Of course, it was a sight he was familiar with, so there would be nothing new there. But still. A shiver of awareness ran through her knowing exactly where this game would lead.
He leaned so he could reach the thong, then held her gaze as he lifted it to his nose and inhaled deeply. Leigh made herself sit still and not look away, but she felt a flush from head to toe. One side of John’s mouth tilted up in a sinful grin as he fingered the thin cotton. Finally, he slipped them into his breast pocket, broke eye contact and went back to studying the contract in front of him.
