Luna

S.C. Dane

Beth was raised as a responsible member of
human society. Then she meets Alec, a mysterious stranger, who
knows by her scent that she is a rare Luna, the only being who can
ensure the future of his wolf-pack. When human beings injure Alec,
Beth retreats from the stagnant safety of her human world and
surrenders her fate to the wolf-man.

Beth's and Alec's love for one another
ignites the power of the Luna that courses through her veins, and
she must learn the laws of being wild wolf if she is to live with
Alec and his pack. But they are not the only wolf-people who covet
the blood of Luna, and she must learn to harness the consuming
power of her Luna and use it to safeguard her new family, even if
it means giving up the very thing she was born to protect. Set in
the countryside of Maine, this novel unfolds as Beth surrenders her
body to its absolute essence while she is protected by the loyal
wolves she is destined to love. But their world is not only
precious, it is also perilous, and her freshened passion for life
just may be the catalyst for her death.
