Alpha’s Claim Anthology
Strength.
Power. Domination.
The
shifters in our Alpha’s Claim anthology have one thing in common – they won’t
take “no” for an answer. Whether they lead packs of their own, or whether they
walk a solitary path, these alphas won’t let anyone stop them from claiming
their women.
Lose
yourself in these ten sinfully delicious love stories. After all, who could
deny an Alpha’s claim?
“Panther Ridge” by Jessica Jayne
Panther Ridge Blurb:
Nathan Thorne is many things. Confident. Proud. Strong. Ruggedly
good-looking. And a firefighter. But what really makes him different from most
men is that he’s part animal… literally…he shifts into a Florida panther. Nate
has spent most of his life a loner, finding satisfaction in random women and
roaming his one hundred fifty acres of Florida flatlands in Panther Ridge that
his mother left him. He was content. But when Ciara Black enters Nate’s favorite
hangout he doesn’t know what hit him. She’s everything he’s ever desired and he
knows without a doubt that she’s his mate.
Ciara is on the run trying to escape her father and step-brother’s
attempts to steal her Momma’s money. Life is hard and full of disappointments
until she meets Nate Thorne. He turns her inside out with just a few words and
a smile.
When someone threatens Ciara, Nate can’t do anything but
protect what’s his. Can Ciara love him and the animal within?
Read and Excerpt:
“What brought you to town, Ciara?” Nate
asked. His gaze wandered over her face. Her nose dipped just slightly giving
her a delicate look. Her lips were full and pouty, perfect for wrapping around
his cock. Fuck! I need to get my head on
straight. It hasn’t been that long since I’ve been laid. But it had been
that long since he’d wanted so desperately to be laid by a particular female.
In fact, this may have been the only time he could remember feeling only one
female could bring him the release he needed, and that female was her. Every
ounce of him, body and soul, told him Ciara was his mate.
“A change,” she said, softly, finally
looking away from him.
“A change from what?” he pushed.
“A change from my family,” she said,
opening the cooler and apparently checking the stock.
“What’s wrong with your family?” Nate
asked. “Jack’s a great guy.” Shutting the cooler door, she turned to face him.
Placing her hands on the counter, she leaned in closer to him. Her scent
enveloped him and he had to bite his lower lip to keep from growling.
“Uncle Jack’s not the problem. He’s the
reason I stayed in Florida. Otherwise, I’d have headed out west to get clear of
my money-grubbing father and stepbrother,” she said, looking him straight in
the eye. “You’re quite the nibby-nose!”
“Just like to know who’s pouring my
beer,” he said with a smirk.
“Are you going to look at me all night
like you want to eat me alive?”
Nate’s hands shot out to grasp her wrist
in such a quick fashion that Ciara looked stunned. Being a panther shifter made
him more agile than most normal men. His quickness had saved his life on more
than one occasion, but it also benefitted him in situations like this one where
he wanted to make a point and catch someone off guard. The feel of her skin against his was more
than he could take, and the growl that he had been trying to stifle escaped.
“I am going to eat you alive,” he
whispered, tightening his grip on her wrists. Her blue eyes widened. Though
there was a hint of fear in her eyes, he also saw the desire, and that made him
continue. “I’m going to bury my tongue in that sweet little pussy of yours
until you come all over my face. I can’t wait to taste you.” She inhaled
sharply at his words.

About Jessica JayneI am a born and raised small town Ohio girl, who moved to the Sunshine State after graduating from college. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in English because I could not imagine doing anything else but reading and writing. It is such a pleasure to be able to share all the stories in my head!
In the journey of life, I got my law degree (and license) and also became a wife and a mother of three children. So, life is always an adventure.
I love to read and write... obviously! I’m a huge sports fan, especially college football and the Ohio State Buckeyes! Go Steelers! Go Rays! Go Lightning! I LOVE to travel... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to travel. And I love sharing my love to travel with my children. Did I say I love to travel? I love to drink coffee in the morning and tea at night! I love a good glass of wine, especially if it comes from a bottle made by the FOOLS wine club… yep, I’m a founding member of that crazy group! J I love hanging out with my family and my friends! Music makes me happy. I’m a mix between country girl and city chic. But I love nothing more than putting on my jean shorts, tank top, cowboy boots and hat and watching Tim McGraw or Eric Church belt it out! I’m a sucker for a cowboy hat! J
