Beneath the Texas Moon
Elle James
DARKNESS HIDES NOTHING WHEN THE MOON IS FULL…Eve Baxter thought tiny Spirit Canyon, Texas, was the perfect place to escape her nightmares and be alone with her son–but the drought-ridden town had more than its share of secrets and skeletons. Eve's isolated ranch quickly went from haven to hell, driving her into the strong arms of brooding rancher Mac McGuire. But even Mac was dangerous, as he represented everything Eve was running from. As the temperatures soared and tempers fl ared, Eve feared that not even her cowboy protector could save her from the fate Spirit Canyon had in store….
Welcome to Spirit Canyon, Texas
Nestled in the hill country, it’s the kind of town where no one locks their doors, where neighbors stop and chat. At least that’s what most people think. But there are secrets lurking in this tiny town. Secrets that harken back decades to unnatural events, unmentionable evil. And now that evil is about to be unleashed again.
In between potluck suppers and harvest festivals, people go missing. From behind ranch fences, livestock are found slaughtered, as if by an angry wolf. And in the cedar brush, strange chants echo in the moonlight. Is it the work of feral four-legged creatures, as they say, or fearless humans?
As the evil comes closer, centering on the good folk of Spirit Canyon, who will live to tell the tale? And who will believe it?

To my parents Charles and Phyllis Hughes
For always being there for me and showing me that hard work
and perseverance pays off. Thanks for loving me unconditionally,
teaching me to care about others, to laugh and play and to go after
what I want with all my heart. Thanks, Dad, for being the rock in
my life and a man I’ll always look up to. Thanks, Mom, for being
my sounding board and my best reviewer. You two helped to make
me who I am. I’ll love you always.
