"He will protect her but can he protect his heart?"

Romance Paranormal

Gillian Whitford is the darling of the Willow Bend Pack; everyone loves and works to protect their healer apprentice. Everyone but Owen Chase, that is, he seems determined to give her a hard time. Could it be that he doesn't want to deal with a WOLF CLAIM? Owen is the pack's hunter and a loner by his calling, as well as his nature. He spends most of his time on the borders of their land patrolling there and even with the new Alpha he still tends to wander away. When the Hudson River pack requests a fill-in healer, Gillian is chosen to go and help. Despite Owen's forbidding her to go she volunteers and the new Alpha sends him along to protect her, but when the Alpha of the Hudson River pack makes a play for Gillian, he is ready to go to war. Is it because she's pack or because she's his? WOLF CLAIM takes us back to author Heather Long's Wolves of Willow Bend giving us more action and intrigue in this fascinating world. Gillian is a sweetheart who has always had feelings for the rough and tough Owen but until now he has refused any enticements. Now that Gillian is stepping away, with the possibility of being claimed by another he decides to step up. Twice he comes close to challenging Alpha's to protect her, one being Mason, his new Alpha. This should give everyone a good hint at what he really feels but he is a typical male and doesn't listen to his heart until it's almost too late. I liked Brett from the other pack wouldn't mind reading a book about him some day. The mystery they confront is intriguing but nothing compares to the revelation that comes out of this couple giving into the attraction they feel for each other. WOLF CLAIM is a stand alone but after reading it I can guarantee that you will want to get the other two and catch up with this intriguing pack. Ms. Long knows how to bring all the characters to life and throw in enough twists and turns to keep the readers just off balance enough to enjoy the ride. I loved WOLF CLAIM and of course am looking so forward to the next in the series or anything else from Ms. Long. It's on my TRA shelf with room for more.

SUMMARY

Gillian Whitford, darling of Willow Bend, brings out the protective instincts in all the dominants, but none more so than Owen Chase, the pack’s Hunter. A loner by nature and calling, Owen spends less time with his pack mates and more time on the borders of their land. Not even the change in the Alpha and the swearing of a new oath kept him around long. Winds of change still drift through Willow Bend as they adjust to their new Alpha. When the Hudson River pack requests a fill-in healer to replace their own, Gillian, journeymen apprentice to their Pack healer, is the obvious choice to help. Owen forbids her to accept, but the sweet natured wolf rebukes his selfishness and volunteers anyway. Risking a challenge, Owen faces off against his Alpha to appeal her decision and finds himself charged with her safety. Now, the loner will be escorting one of his pack’s most precious into foreign lands. He’s all that stands between her and a dozen potential threats…and if he doesn’t stake his claim, he may lose more than his heart.
