BLURB
One’s
weakness is another’s strength.
Casimir Lars is the Alpha of the
Tatra Pack. He fought hard to become the leader he is today. He refuses to show
weakness or allow others to take advantage of him. He’s dedicated to his pack,
strong and fearless, yet his life is thrown into upheaval when he has to track
down a very specific woman: his wife.
Dyana Vance is a headstrong
professional archer—not the type to trust blindly when a stranger shows up
claiming to be her husband. There’s no denying the explosive chemistry she has
with Casimir, but she isn’t pack and refuses to be bound by their laws.
Casimir is torn between his
growing feelings toward her and what he believes is his duty to mate with a
pack female. Dyana learns to deal with loss and discovery of something new.
Death, plots, and undeniable passion all fly around this couple.
When he accepts what is to be,
will he be too late or will his pride have pushed her away forever? Will she
ever look at him and say you’re mine?
Casimir
Lars fought off his increasing agitation. This woman was proving to be a bear
to track down. He remained alert, not about to let his guard down.
Spying
the coffee shop he sought, he strode across the street, well aware yet ignoring
those who watched him. Mostly women, and he could sense the lust coming from
them. He pushed through and scanned the patrons. The only information he had
was she was a black woman. That was it. Oh, and her name.
His phone
vibrated. “What?”
“How’s
the hunt going?”
“Not in
the mood, Kraven.” Mattias Kraven, not just one of his top lieutenants but the
top and his best friend.
The laughter,
unapologetic. “I am sending you her picture. I finally located one.”
“Good.”
It had both baffled and annoyed him no pictures were found of her. “Anything
else?”
“Two from
the Western Clan are coming in to discuss the issues we’ve been having along their
border with them. I will handle it.”
“Make
sure the cubs are there to apologize, we don’t need to be at war with them.”
“I will.
Have fun.”
More
unappreciated laughter. Casimir hung up and waited for the image and name. When
he saw it, he understood why they’d not found her. Her last name was different
than his grandparents had given him.
Dyana
Vance. Not Hunt like they’d assumed. A lot more information popped up but he
ignored it. It wasn’t pertinent to learn about her, just to get what he came
for.
He spied
her in the far corner. Unlike most who occupied the place, she read an actual
book instead of being on an electronic device. He read the title and realized
he had no clue what Straits of Power was about, although with the submarine on
the cover, he deduced an idea. He also hadn’t heard of the author, Joe Buff.
He
strolled over to her table and waited for her to acknowledge him. She finished
her page before deigning to glance at him. Her brown eyes snared him, the amber
flecks they contained were unique. One eyebrow had a slash through it and rose.
She
summarily dismissed him and went back to her book. He frowned; being the alpha
of his pack, he wasn’t used to being waved off like yesterday’s trash.
“Yana!” A
female hollered from behind him.
His
target closed her book immediately and slid it into an old tatty black
backpack. She got to her feet, shouldered her bag, and brushed by him without a
word.
“I’m
coming, Shyla.”
“We’re
going to be late!”
“We’ll be
the first ones there. As usual. I don’t think the Bankses will party without
you.”
Humor
laced her tone. His wolf perked up its ears but other than that showed no more
than a passing interest. He realized she was on her way out and turned to stop
her, no way he was leaving without getting what he came for.
She stood
by her friend, Shyla. A pretty petite blonde with a huge smile. Even less
reaction from his wolf. He took a step in their direction when someone else
came up to them. A black woman who also smiled a lot.
Dyana
shoved a hand through her straight hair and the sun gleamed off the gold
highlights as she laughed at her friend’s comment. She had a nice laugh.
A new
scent hit him. It garnered a response from him and his wolf. Turning back, he
instantly spotted the man who’d entered via the other door.
He looked
like the majority of the people he’d seen, however, the scent he emitted told
an entirely different story. The man hunted. When he met Casimir’s gaze, he
deferred immediately. He was a beta all the way around and wouldn’t challenge
an alpha.
With a
blink, Casimir glanced back to where she’d been. She was gone. Ignoring his
wolf’s amusement, he locked onto her scent and began tracking her.
She and
her friends stood at an outdoor stall, admiring the purses. More the other two.
Ready to go home, he approached and waited for eye contact. When she noticed
him, her eyes narrowed and he became more alert.
“You were
watching me in the coffee shop. Something I can do for you, hoss?”
Hoss? He
truly needed to get home.
