Zeke Noble is finally returning home to Harper Creek after six months of captivity and torture only to find his farm in bad shape and extra senses he is not sure what to do about. Zeke needs money to get his farm back up and running; the only business willing to take a chance on Zeke is the local vet owned by Neva Harper. Zeke's attraction to Neva is fierce, but his pride and the possibility of being crazy are keeping him from getting too close.
Neva Harper is bound and determined to live her life as she wants, which is why she has gone against her parents' wishes and become a veterinarian. Now that she is cut off from her trust fund, Neva must work extra hard. Hiring Zeke Noble part-time at her clinic is turning out to be a godsend and when he offers Neva a place to stay when her apartment is getting repaired, Neva readily accepts.
SKIN HEAT, the third novel in Ava Gray's Skin series, is powerfully intriguing and packed full of adventure. A fascinating read!
More wild thing than manβ¦
Zeke Noble has escaped from a secret facility; he has no
idea why he was abducted, but the experiments were cruel,
soul-killing, and they changed him forever. Now free, his
natural affinity with animals has evolved into a dark and
dangerous instinct, a curse that costs him too much of his
humanity. But he has to rebuild his life, or his tormentors
win. To that end, he goes looking for work and finds so much
more.
Born to be wildβ¦
Veterinarian Geneva Harper finds herself reluctantly drawn
to the lean, mysterious young man to whom the wild is second
nature, but she has troubles of her own. Sheβs the black
sheep in an old moneyed Southern family, and she never had
any interest in learning the family business, or being the
good debutante daughter.
Though Zekeβs wanted Neva for as long as he can remember,
their attraction can never go anywhere. They both know that
for different reasons. But when a killer starts leaving
behind a trail of victims, Zekeβs need to protect her is as
fierce as his desire to claim her as his mate. And love may
be the only thing that can save them bothβ¦
