Undying Desire (31 page)
Authors: Jessica Lee
After a violent shipwreck, young widow Catherine Briton is rescued by a shadowy stranger and healed with suspicious, almost magical speed. As she begins to investigate, her discoveries only bring more questions. It seems Gerard isn’t the only one on the island keeping secrets. The small town is full of strange mysteries and townspeople who know more than they should about her. And when a hulking beast that stalks the nearby hills and valleys catches up to her, Catherine must figure out what’s going on before it’s too late.
As the heir to his Pack, sexy werewolf Adam Sloan’s biggest challenge is keeping his kin’s true nature under wraps. When a group of jaguar shifters threaten to reveal all, blasting into town killing humans in plain sight, Adam’s standing orders are to take out the enemy, including the frustratingly beautiful Lana Turpin. It should be a simple mission, but when he touches Lana, his inner wolf howls…mate. Now, the two must stop the people hunting her…and Adam must keep his own family from killing the only woman he will ever love.
Elleodora Fredricks doesn’t think her life could get much more complicated. Not only is she being forced to train as her evil father’s heir, but she’s hurting over the betrayal of her gargoyle betrothed, Jax, and confused over the feelings still simmering for her first love, MacLean. As her father’s sinister plans unfolds, Elle must decide with whom her heart lies, and harness her unique abilities to protect those she loves before it’s too late.
Thanks to her father, king of the shadow elves, Elleodora Fredricks is not normal, and only reading her fate can fix that. Good thing she’s got a trio of hotties willing to help her find said fate, but at a price. Saving her oracle BFF’s fiancee, falling in love with the gargoyle, and making up for breaking the phoenix’s heart ought to be a piece of cake for the princess of the shadow elves. If only the king didn’t want his daughter dead…
