Surprising the Alpha
The Venn Pack in Love
August release from Siren Publishing
The town is
dying after a new highway takes previous traffic and custom away from its
tourist attractions. The Venn wolf-shifter pack is suffering.
One day Dani
Cruz and her brother Jason hit town and now Joshua Venn is looking for answers.
It's one hot summer and this alpha is in for more than one surprise.
Seven sexy paragraphs:
She sat on the end of the low,
wooden planked jetty that jutted out into the river, with her feet in the
water.
It took a moment for Joshua to
see she’d taken off her jeans. In that short time he feasted on the sight of
her pretty face turned up to the sun, her fall of brown hair stirring slightly
in the breeze and the curve of her breasts, pushing against her shirt. Now, his
heart hammered alarmingly as his gaze traveled over her thighs. His alpha wolf
temper was still riding him and so he hated the effect she had on him then. It
made him feel weak and stupid, gazing at her with his mouth open like a cub.
About to walk on, disgusted
with his vulnerability to the scent and sight of this young woman, he halted
when she called out.
“Hi, lovely day.”
Joshua aimed his best ferocious
expression at her. What’s she doing
talking to a strange man when there’s no one else around for miles? Crap. I
could be anybody. I am anybody. I could eat her up if I turned. I could snap
her neck in one bite. I wish she’d be more careful. Hell, she’s lovely. If she
were mine, I’d spank her for putting herself in danger. If she were mine, I’d
wrap her in my arms and kiss the breath from her…
“Yes, it’s a lovely day.” He
squeezed out the words between gritted teeth. His head said get going, but his
ridiculously leaping, banging heart said stay.
She smiled. “I’m waiting for my
brother and couldn’t resist dipping my feet in.”
Relief that she wasn’t quite
the naïve fool he’d first thought flew along Joshua’s frayed nerves. So at least someone will be along soon to
see she’s safe. In the meantime, I’m here to take care of her.
