Blurb:
Titus has two
goals in life – kill rogues and get paid to do it.
After killing a
few traffickers, he finds a woman cowering in a closet. He knows he should send
her on her way, but there was something about her that wouldn’t let him let her
go.
Two days is all
it takes for him to realize he wants her more than his next breath.
Kendall spent
more than a month in that closet when Titus finds her. She assumes he plans to
take her to make money for himself.
But when he
takes her to his home and tells her she can stay as long as she needs, she
begins to wonder if there is more than meets the eye with this big, quiet guy.
After a while,
she realizes he has not only become her best friend but that she’s falling head
over heels for him.
It’s only a
matter of time, though, before people like Titus come face to face with their
enemies.
And this enemy
has no problem using Kendall to punish Titus for his past.
Lynn Howard lives in Cedar Hill, MO, where all her
sexy Shifters
exist. She lives and breathes hot Alpha males and sassy brassy females. She
feels the most at home knee-deep in mud and chicken muck and prefers to be
outside under the stars, cuddled up under a blanket in front of a bonfire than
in the big city.
When not typing away or
feeding her chickens, you can find her
fantasizing about hot country boys for her next book or wandering the woods in
search of wildlife. She loves all animals and insects...except spiders. Her
favorite foot accessory is barefoot and she owns at least thirty sets of
salt-n-pepper shakers, yet only uses one.
Gray's Wolf is the first in her
Big River Pack series. And just
like in Gray's Wolf, there are more hot country boy Shifters just waiting their
turn for a little love and romance.

Closing the space between them, Kendall wrapped her arms around
his waist and pressed her cheek against his chest.
He stiffened at the contact
for a good thirty seconds before
slowly wrapping her up in a tender hug.
Kendall listened to his heart
beating in his chest, reveled in the
heat pouring from his body, let herself be wrapped in his warm, spicy,
masculine scent.
T’s body began to soften and
relax against her. Eventually, he
lowered his cheek to the top of her head. And they just held each other.
His hug felt awkward,
though. She didn’t feel awkward, but he felt
like he’d never simply held someone before. Kind of like when she’d started to
cry over her nightmare. Instead of sitting beside her or talking to her, he
rushed out of the room and brought back all the stuff he’d bought.
It was like he didn’t have or
didn’t know his love language.
As Kendall listened to his
breath saw in and out of his lungs, she
had a fleeting query. Was he an animal person or not? His eyes glowed like
those other guys. But he was nothing like them.
She couldn’t come out and
ask him, though. If he wasn’t, if he
just had something wrong with his eyes and knew nothing about men who turned
into animals, he might think she was nuts.
And as much as she wanted
to head out and find somewhere new to
hide, she wasn’t sure if she really could yet. Not until she got a few more
meals and a few more nights of sleep.
Also, the thought of walking
away from T and never seeing him
again caused a sharp pain to move through her chest. As though her heart had
been shattered from loss.
Odd.
She’d known T for less than
twelve hours. She still didn’t know
his real name. Or anything else about him, other than the fact he killed bad
guys.
Yet, this one embrace chased
away all the fears she’d carried for
so long. He chased away the cobwebs of the nightmare. He made her forget, at
least for a moment, that she’d been held for almost a month and had been
practically tortured the entire time.
The backs of her eyes burned
as his hold tightened around her. She
only let one tear escape before snuggling closer to his chest and allowing him
to make her feel safe. If only while she was there with him.
