To Tame a Wolf

To Tame a Wolf
Susan Krinard

Her innocence destroyed, young widow Tally Bernard swore that she would never trust a man again. But when her brother disappears, she has little choice but to make a pact with the devil.Though he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life on a ranch of his own, Simeon Kavanaugh can' t escape the legacy of his werewolf father. The animal instincts that keep him from being fully human also make him a brilliant tracker, forced to survive on the desperation of people in need. The attraction between these two wounded souls is immediate, primal– and dangerous. And if Simeon has any hope of saving Tally, he must do what he has always resisted and merge both man and beast within him. But if she cannot accept what he becomes, his choice may cost Simeon the only thing worth having– Tally' s love… .

“You have a very nice smile, Monsieur Kavanagh,” Tally said.

“You have a very nice—” He looked pointedly at her chest. She’d bound her breasts, but he’d seen what lay underneath the wrappings. “You still have to pay a price for my saving your cow, Miss Bernard.”

“She isn’t my cow.”

“Seems everything you touch ends up belonging to you.” His grin vanished. “Why is that, Tally?”

She faltered under his stare. He put his hands on her hair, slid them down to cup her face.

Mon Dieu. It was truly happening. Not like before, when he’d stolen a kiss just to prove his indifference. There was no indifference in him now. And none in her.

“What will you give me, Tally?” he whispered.

She closed her eyes. “Everything.”
