No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
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 canβ 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, primalβ 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 havingβ Tallyβ s loveβ¦ .
When Tally's brother goes missing in the unforgiving Arizona wilderness, she hires Simeon Wartrace Kavanaugh to find him but, disguised as a boy, insists that he take her along. Sim knows the person dressed in the baggy boy's clothing is a woman, and he can't figure out how she has managed to fool everyone else. But he lets her keep her secret. After all, Sim has more than a few of his own, including the fact that he is a shape-shifter, and at this point in his life, he'd rather run with the wolves than hang out with humans. But Sim has an ulterior motive where Tally's errant sibling is concerned, and Old West justice isn't out of the question. Underneath the paranormal trappings, this is a poignant tale of redemption, where both the hero and heroine feel they have fallen so far down that up isn't possible. Fans of Krinard's To Catch a Wolf (2003) have been waiting for this one. Shelley Mosley
