Sentinels: Lynx Destiny

Sentinels: Lynx Destiny
Doranna Durgin

To defeat a deadly enemy Forced to return to her family cabin deep in the Sacramento Mountains, Regan Adler is determined to keep her visit brief. Voices that drove her mother crazy are now threatening to do the same to her. Then she meets Kai…Kai Faulkes is a lone lynx shape-shifter. He’s aware of the danger approaching and must protect his home at all costs, but when he meets Regan he’s thrown into a whole new world of passion and desire. Suddenly the stakes have never been higher and Kai and Regan must fight for everything they hold dear.

“What are we doing?” Regan asked.

“Listening,” Kai told her. “Shh,” he said, close to her ear and barely putting sound behind the words. “To learn.” He stroked her hand with his thumb again.

Regan’s hand jerked beneath his.

“Shh,” he said again, coming back to himself. “You’re safe. You’re …” His voice trailed off; he seemed suddenly aware that his head had tipped forward against hers, that her pale gold hair tickled his face and the beguiling scent of it tickled his nose. His hand had slipped around her waist to press across her stomach, and he was suddenly aware of the flutter in her breathing. “Regan,” he murmured, and nuzzled behind her ear.

“Not safe at all,” she whispered. And she turned in his arms, her hand coming up to cup his cheek; he leaned into it as she leaned in to him, her mouth closing in on his.

Excerpt (#litres_trial_promo)

Chapter 1

You may have driven my mother mad, but you won’t do it to me.

Regan Adler gazed out at the intensely rugged vista of the Sacramento Mountains—vast slopes of ponderosa pine, towering cliffs and deep blue sky, all nearly nine thousand feet high. It should have been inspiring; it should have been invigorating.

Regan scowled out over that beauty. “Don’t you dare talk back to me,” she muttered at it.
