BLURB:
When veterinarian Emily Brownstone, 55, finds a poisoned wolf
on the roadside, she doesn’t realize the chain of events that will follow.
Someone is trying to kill off the native wildlife, and Emily’s action in saving the wolf will threaten her life, but will also bring her the man of her dreams.
Tate Collins, 57, can’t believe his luck—he’s finally met his soul mate after all these years. All he has to do is tell her his secret—and it is a big one! He just hopes she won’t freak out when she finds out he spends a lot of his time running around on four legs!
But even if she does accept him, will they find each other only to be torn apart by the danger that threatens the wildlife—and Emily?

STORY EXCERPT:
"There’s an
injured animal on the road, but I can’t lift it by myself. Could you help me
please? I want to put it in the rear of my car."
The two men exchanged
a look, and Emily felt apprehensive. The look seemed like some silent
conversation between them. She didn’t like it, but there was nothing she could
do now.
"Injured animal.
What sort?"
"A wolf."
Another looked passed
between them, and Emily felt the hair on the back of her neck stand. They
seemed to be communicating with just body language and looks. It freaked her a
little. Before she could tell them to forget about it, they pulled their four-wheel
drive to the side of the road and got out. Both men quickly went to the fallen
animal. They whispered something to each other and turned to her. Emily could
see they were extremely worried and upset, rather more than you’d expect.
"Ma’am, it’s
pretty dangerous to put a wild wolf in your car. Why don’t you let us take
it?"
Oh, oh.
Suddenly Emily
realized these two could be poachers and here she was handing over a beautiful
wolf to them. The trade in illegal wolf pelts was still happening and rather
lucrative.
Firmly she said,
"If you get it onto the back of my jeep, I can check it out and sedate it
if necessary. I’m a vet."
Of course, Emily
hadn’t practiced full-time for a few years. She’d retired but ran a small
practice from her home. Still, she always carried an emergency kit in her car.
The taller of the two men seemed to hover over her, and Emily began to back
away to the jeep.
"I really think
you should let us take it."
His voice was not
quite menacing, but it had enough force to make Emily very nervous, but she was
determined these two wouldn’t intimidate her and take the wolf.
"No. It needs
medical attention."
He stepped very close
to her. Regretting her decision to ask for help, she touched the back of the
jeep. Casually putting a hand behind her, she groped inside for something heavy
in case they attacked her. The shorter of the men leaned toward the other and
whispered. The tall one glanced down at her, and he took a couple of backward
steps.
