Olivia Stanton, a rational and dedicated wildlife biologist, has always trusted science over superstition. So, when Langford Publishing proposes an article titled The Sexual Appetites of Werewolves, she's unimpressed—until she learns it comes with a weeklong stay at the renowned MacMadadh Wolf Preserve in the Scottish Highlands. A longtime dream of hers, the preserve could hold the key to her career.
Wolves are Olivia's passion, leaving little room for distractions—especially romantic ones. But meeting Laird Tiernan, the handsome owner of the preserve with an equally intense devotion to wolves, sparks an instant, undeniable attraction that neither can deny. Though determined to ignore it, discussing the intimate myths surrounding werewolves only fuels the chemistry simmering between them.
As a light snowfall transforms into an unexpected snowstorm, Olivia finds herself secluded in Tiernan’s castle. There, he reveals a family secret that shakes her to her core. He claims to be a werewolf—and that all the wolves on his preserve are too. She is caught between disbelief and the unsettling possibility that he may be telling the truth. Either way, her stay at the preserve has become far more complicated than she ever anticipated.
With every passing day, Olivia’s growing bond with Tiernan challenges her sense of logic, opening her to a world she never thought possible. Torn between reason and desire, she faces a choice she never thought she’d have to make… stay rational or take a leap of faith and risk her heart to a werewolf.
It was her love of reading and daydreaming that started USA Today bestselling author Donna Fletcher’s writing career. Besides gobbling up books, her mom generously bought for her, she spent a good portion of her time lost in daydreams that took her on grand adventures. She met heroes and villains, and heroines that, while usually in danger, always found the strength and courage to prevail. She traveled all over the world and through time in her dreams. Some places and times fascinated her more than others and she would rush to the library (no Internet at that time) and read all she could about that particular period and place. After a while, she simply could not ignore all the adventures swirling around in her head, she had no choice but to bring them more vividly to life, and so she started writing.
Donna continues to daydream, characters popping in and out of her head wherever she goes and filling her with tales that keep her writing schedule on overload. You can learn more about her on her website. www.donnafletcher.com
