about Silver Wolf Clan:
What happens when monsters turn out to be real? One summer night
while camping in the woods, Morgan Carter finds out in a big way. A tall
mysterious stranger, Greyson Crawford, risks his life to try and save her
sister from the vicious wolf attacking their camp. When he’s bitten and
disappears into the night, Morgan can only assume the worst.
Greyson shows up a year later, and he’s a different animal
altogether. His eye color shifts constantly and the rumble in his throat sounds
more animal than human. She hasn’t any idea where he’s been all this time, but
a good guess as to what he’s become.
Grey is determined not to let the darkness of his new existence
affect Morgan and the little girl in her care. He hasn’t been able to stop
thinking about Morgan but knows he should stay away and let her live a normal
life. That’s easier said than done, though. A new danger pulls him from the
shadows to keep her safe, and he’s no wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Can she accept what lurks just below his surface? More
importantly, can she survive him?
Excerpt:
Old buildings of differing shades of
gray jutted up from cracked sidewalks against the overcast sky. Pungent garbage
bins dotted dirty alleys, and the homeless huddled under sheets of cardboard
and tattered blankets as they caught afternoon naps. A stumbling woman in a
much too short skirt tried to get his attention, and Grey crossed the street to
avoid her. He emptied the change from his pocket into the cup a scruffy looking
youth held out, and made a clucking sound against his teeth at the woman who
screamed profanities from a second floor window at her apparently unfaithful
boyfriend begging forgiveness below. He’d seen this little show before. It
seemed to be a weekly thing for that couple. A mangy tabby cat hissed from the
shattered window of an abandoned building and he threw it a withering look just
to feel the satisfaction of hearing it scream and bolt away.
He smelled it again—faintly, but it
was there—and skidded to a stop. There one second and gone the next, as wind
warning of an upcoming storm whipped around him. There it was again. He tried
to follow the familiar scent but got turned around and lost it once more in the
confusion of the alleyway scents. Then turned back the way he’d come and found
it. Pulling his hands from his pockets, he jogged after it. Another six blocks,
and it got stronger and more concentrated. People threw him concerned glances
as he sniffed the air every few seconds, but he didn’t care. He rounded a
corner and buckled his legs against the forward motion.
There she was.
Morgan.
