Blurb
Hale, a
fox shifter, hates everyone and everything, especially himself. He’s an angry,
bitter, mentally unstable drunk who blames himself for his mate’s death. Not
being able to tolerate being in the presence of female fox shifters,
uncontrollable rage erupts when he meets Hope, and he’s torn between killing
her and kissing her.
Hope knows she
has to have Hale the second he steps inside her shop. The fox inside her comes
to life and demands to be claimed. Even though Hale is vulgar, volatile, and
threatens her at every turn, she wants to ease his pain, bring joy back into
his life, and make him hers.
Can
Hope break through Hale’s walls and awaken the alpha within, or will Hale
finally scare her away for good?
Excerpt
Hope’s
skin itched. She’d been so busy with the shop, she hadn’t shifted in days. She
peeled off her clothes and laid them neatly on the couch, then stepped outside
and let her fox free.
She
dashed across the property, the fresh night air and the feel of grass beneath
her paws invigorating her. She sniffed out a frog and nosed it with her snout.
Even though they made a tasty snack, she’d already eaten dinner and watched it
bounce away.
After
making a few laps, she raised her nose, sniffed, and froze dead still. Hale’s
scent and the stink of liquor hit her. Excitement warred with anxiety as she
spotted his beautiful Fire and Ice fox form standing at the bottom of the steps
to the porch. Correction. Not standing. More like swaying and stumbling.
Falling down and staggering to all fours, and repeating the action. She
wondered how much he’d drunk to be in that bad of shape and how he even made it
this far. And why was he there?
Even
in his incapacitated state, she marveled at his beauty. Fluffy, cream-colored
fur covered his legs and chest then morphed with the red and light brown that peppered
the rest of his body.
When
he fell again, she wanted to run to him, to help him, but in his debilitated
state, she wasn’t sure if it was a good idea or not. When he suddenly shifted
to human, she gasped. Even though every one of his ribs was clearly defined, he
was still beautiful.
He
sat there swaying and staring at the cabin for several minutes. Then he buried
his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking. She didn’t think he’d appreciate
her seeing him so broken, in addition to being there at all, but she had to
comfort him. Or die trying.
She
padded up to him and nosed his arm. He jerked and fell over before pushing
himself back up and staring at her with wet, vacant eyes. The anger she’d
expected didn’t come. Instead, he reached out and clumsily stroked her fur. A
pained expression crossed his face and tears streamed down his cheeks as he
laid back on the ground and curled his malnourished body into a ball.
Hope
shifted to human, squatted beside him, and took his hand. The vacant expression
disappeared as his gaze raked over her nakedness.
“Come
inside,” she urged softly, trying to ignore the arousal spiking her veins. It
wasn’t time for that. When he sat up with her help and she saw the erection
jutting from between his legs, she instantly went wet.
He
inhaled long and deep and she knew he could smell her arousal. His erection
twitched and before she knew what was happening, he shoved her backward and
pounced on top of her. “Inside,” he slurred.
