What Happens Under a Full Moon...
When naturalist Maya Everton travels to Washington State, she is nearly attacked by a pack of wolves—until another wolf arrives to drive them off. Later, she discovers Lieutenant Ryan Blaiddinger shifting and realizes he is her mysterious protector. Ryan is a member of the elite unit of shapeshifters known as Alpha Force, whose mission is at cross-purposes with hers...
But as news of the attacks spreads in the small community, the scientist and soldier unite to protect area wolves from locals who will stop at nothing to decimate the perceived threat. And close together in the moonlit woods, they may not be able to resist their own natural instincts...
“So when are you going to explain everything to me?”
Ryan said nothing for a long minute, although he did take her arm to help balance her. A real gentleman.
A wolf in man’s clothing—casual, ordinary-looking clothing, right down to his own athletic shoes.
A wolf…
“There’s not much to explain,” he said. “You saw me. I’m a shapeshifter who changes into a wolf sometimes.”
“Then it was real, not some kind of hypnosis or mind control?” Although even if it had been, she’d have no idea why he’d have done it to her.
“No, it was real.”
She slipped a little on some leaves beneath her feet, possibly because of the distraction and unease his words caused within her. He caught her, and she was very aware of his touch.
A human’s touch.
But still…

Protector Wolf is dedicated to wolves of all kinds, as well as people who love and protect wildlife. And like my other Alpha Force Nocturnes, Protector Wolf is also dedicated to shapeshifters and the readers who love them.
Plus, despite this being repetitious, again my special thanks to my wonderful agent, Paige Wheeler of Creative Media Agency, and to my delightful Harlequin editor, Allison Lyons. They’re so great in helping to keep the stories of Alpha Force an ongoing miniseries. Protector Wolf is number eight!
And, as always, thanks to my amazing husband, Fred, whom I acknowledge in each of my books because he inspires me. My hero!
