Arizona might not be the obvious place to look for wolves,
but with all that open space the desert werewolves can roam
freely. Which is something Paxton Hall doesn't realise,
flying in from
Maryland to check on a piece of land she's inherited. Her
neighbour, Grant Wade, is a Texas Ranger and, secretly, a
DESERT WOLF.
Grant has control of an old ghost town, called Desperado,
and it would benefit Paxton if he could buy her out, or let
her buy his land. Grant isn't keen on either one. While the
city lady adapts to her surroundings, Grant has a major
problem on his hands. A rogue werewolf is prowling, killing
cattle - and even a human.
I love the sense of place in DESERT WOLF. The images of the
sunny, dry
state contrast strongly with moonshadowed nights. It's a good
book to remind you that summer is ending and Hallowe'en is
not far away. As the tale progresses, the adult romance
quickly takes precedence, then the fantasy element becomes
darker and heads towards the horror realm. But love,
loyalty, and strength of character resonate through the
story.
Linda Thomas-Sundstrom has previously written other
werewolf paranormal romances. Some of her wolves are
genetically different to the humans they live near and can
change shape at will. Others are bitten and so made into
werewolves, bound to the full moon for changing. This
allows for a lot of flexibility in storytelling. Any fans of
paranormal romance will want to check out her adventures.
DESERT WOLF is a standalone, making it a great place to
start.
Grant Wade is a former Texas Ranger. He's also a Lycan Alpha
and, in the ghost town of Desperado, he's found a perfect
refuge for his desert pack and a place to shelter other
werewolves in need of a safe place.
Determined to reclaim her full birthright, Paxton Hall goes
home for the first time in decades. Her plan to strike a
deal with Desperado's new owner doesn't work any better than
her attempts to resist this sexy cowboy. Even as she falls
for him, Paxton has no idea what he's trying to protect her
from—his animal desire, her own true nature and a rogue
predator on the prowl…
