Beast Untamed: Beasts of Bodmin Moor, Book 3
Page 23
It had been an easy fix, getting that prick Meers to assign Willa to Erin. All it had taken was a threat to charge him with two counts of assault, plus a promise to blow the lid on a real estate deal Meers was involved in which, Nathan had discovered, featured dubious funding streams. The bastard had crumbled. Of course, the man’s easy acquiescence might have had something to do with the fact that Nathan’s fist was pressed to the asshole’s throat at the time. The prick had whimpered like a baby, spluttering how sorry he was and that he’d leave Erin alone. Nathan had given him an added incentive by threatening to tie his sorry ass to a fucking tree in the middle of the moor if he ever so much as came within spitting distance of Erin or her dog again. Much the same threat he had issued to the man who, at Meers’s bidding, had stolen Willa and left her to perish on the moor.
Nathan gave himself a mental shake. Thoughts of the past had no place in the present, so he pushed them away. It wasn’t hard to do, since Erin filled his head and his vision.
When she was a foot away from him, he reached for her hand. Her fingers curled around his, and he held tight. Shit. He wasn’t ever letting go.
“Hey,” he said drawing her to his side, so only she could hear. “You take my breath away, sweetheart.”
“You look so handsome, I’m having trouble breathing myself.” She squeezed his hand, her smile warming every cell in his body. “This all looks so lovely. Thank you. It’s more than I ever thought possible.”
“There’s a whole lot more to come,” he promised. “I’ll always do everything in my power to make you happy.”
She glanced at Willa, then looked back at him, her eyes dangerously moist. “You’ve given me all I ever wanted, Nathan. You’ve made my dreams come true.”
And, as they spoke their vows aloud in front of the whole pack, Nathan knew he felt the same way. Erin was all he’d ever wanted too. She was the dream he hadn’t even known he’d had, but now couldn’t imagine ever living without.
Nestled between them, Willa gave a joyous bark, making everyone laugh.
“I think she approves,” Nathan said leaning close to Erin. “Or maybe she’s just anticipating all those runs she and I are going to enjoy in the future.”
“The future.” Erin smiled, and tilted her mouth up to his. “I really like the sound of that.”
“Me too, sweetheart.”
And to prove it, Nathan drew her in for a long and lingering kiss, just to make sure she could be in no doubt.

To protect his pack, he must guard his heart.
Beasts of Bodmin Moor, Book 1
Lost on Bodmin Moor, twelve-year-old Talia Summers was cold, hurt and terrified, before being saved by a black panther that materialized out of the night.
Years later, Talia returns to the moor in search of that magnificent beast, but instead finds a man leading a clan of shape shifters. Yet the connection she remembers is strangely absent. She despairs of ever finding it again—until a stranger steps into her shower.
Back to claim his rightful place, Caleb McLeod’s fierce attraction to his half-brother’s female is tempered by the fact she’s a human. Worse, a journalist. He’ll not have his people’s survival threatened by a human female who continually pushes the boundaries of pack rules.
His solution? Mate with her. Control her. And if his brother doesn’t like it, they’ll simply have to share. For now.
But suspicion and lies threaten the growing bond between Talia and Caleb, and the past has a way of catching up. A way of destroying the bridge built between two worlds…between two hearts.
Warning: A red-hot panther shifter with an over-the-top possessive streak, a human reporter trying desperately to retain her independence, and enough sexual heat to set fire to the moors of Cornwall.
To embrace the future, they must defy the past.
Beasts of Bodmin Moor, Book 2
Naomi Flynn never intends to mate or marry. Either one would leave her open to the manipulation she’s sworn never to endure again. Besides, no panther male will want her once they know the truth behind what happened a decade ago.
She’s happy to burn up the sheets in a buddy-with-benefits arrangement, until a craving for a three-way sexual adventure thrusts her right back into the arms of the man she can’t afford to remember.
Tynan Galloway doesn’t intend to stand by and watch the woman he wants throw herself at every male with a pulse except him. Ten years ago, a brutal assault robbed him of his destiny as a protector of the pack, but damned if Naomi is going to be another casualty of his fate.
In the heat of a fantasy come true, Naomi’s resolve to keep her emotional distance weakens. But when Tynan discovers she’s in potential danger, he dares her to deny he’s the only man who can protect her. Never expecting she’ll go to extremes to prove him wrong...
Warning: A hot panther shifter with something to prove, a heroine with a secret to keep, and a threesome arrangement which brings out the teeth and claws.
