Bride of the Alpha
When the heroic werewolf Ramos is trapped in the twilight realm, his Shadowmen comrades are unable to rescue him. Only a passionate woman with a spirit as wild as his own can set him free…. Oil heiress Angela Valdes fled the jungles of Belize to avoid becoming a pawn in her vicious uncle’s wicked schemes. Though she has found temporary sanctuary in little Twilight, Tennessee, only in her dreams does she taste freedom. At night, her spirit intertwines with a magnificent black wolf, and they run together under the glow of a forest moon. When a wounded stranger is brought to the camp where she is hiding, she glimpses in his eyes the mysterious being who has been the partner of her visions. But before she can explore her strange reaction to this man, they are kidnapped and imprisoned once again. Ramos is a shapeshifting Shadowman, captured by the evil Milan vampire who hopes to control Angela. Injured and blind, he struggles to regain his warrior’s strength as they fight for their freedom — and their lives. Together, their spirits form a powerful link matched only by the passion they discover in each other’s arms. But can a mortal woman attain true love with a man who is half wolf? And will their enemies give them time to find an answer?

Chapter: CHAPTER 12“I’M SURE they had help, Otto. Who besides you knew of my plans?” Herrera watched the General’s expression closely as he sipped the creamy smooth scotch. The fifty- year-old Chivas Regal Royal salute had been released to honor a queen’s coronation. It was the best he’d ever tasted and he decided then he’d have the finest liquors to commemorate a Cortes’s return to power.“I’ve given it a great deal of thought since last night. Even asked a number of questions, discreetly, of course,” said the General. Then he shrugged. “And have come up with nothing.”Herrera dug his fangs into his gums. The General had always been a difficult man to read, but something about his confident, suave demeanor wasn’t hitting the right note of innocence. The inept guards following Angela had lost track of her after an attack from the ghost wolf and his men had yet to pick up the trail.The search by ground and air continued, but he’d been unable to sit by the phone any longer. Herrera had taken out all the

Chapter: CHAPTER 11SEÑORA HERRERA? Rafael in hell? Denial and outrage bubbled up from the very depths of Angela’s heart.“No!” She pushed herself from Ramos’s warm arms and sucked in a bolstering breath before voicing her outrage as she glared at Father Dom, wondering how he even dared to declare her married. “Por Dios, no matter what words were said last night I am not and never will be the wife of that vile demonic creature. Do not ever refer to me as Señora Herrera. And you.” She pointed at Rafael. “Are not going to kill yourself or go to hell. We will, however”—she touched Ramos’s arm—“obliterate Herrera together once we have the proper weapons and a plan.”The priest shifted his gaze between her and Ramos, pointedly looking at her hand on Ramos’s arm.Angela automatically pulled her hand back, as if it were sinful of her to touch the warrior, but doing that really did feel wrong. She had a difficult time believing any part of the wonder and pleasure she’d shared with Ramos was wrong. It seemed the

Chapter: CHAPTER 10ANGELA FELT Ramos stiffen for a moment as if surprised; then he pressed his lips harder against hers and the stubble of his beard roughly brushed her skin. She fleetingly wondered why she would dream that but the thought was swept away by a hot wave of need. Her heart swelled and pounded, racing as wildly as the desire rushing through her.Then...nothing. Wasn’t there more to a kiss?She drew closer, moving her lips against his, wanting that more. He groaned, a deep rich sound expressing satisfaction greater than when he’d eaten the Snickers bar. She automatically slid her free hand up his sculpted chest through the smattering of soft dark hair there then along his neck, relishing the sensual nuances of supple skin, burning heat, and hard man. She threaded her fingers through his silky short hair, sighing with utter pleasure at every sensation. Short?Her eyes snapped open, bringing her fully awake from dreamland. Ramos the warrior she dreamed had long black hair to his shoulders. Thi

Chapter: CHAPTER 9RAMOS’S RIGHT claw punctured the padded handle he gripped as Angela careened around a bend in the road. His left arm held the priest upright because the man had gone limp upon seeing the wolf spirit, and every muscle from Ramos’s chest down was clenched to keep him wedged in the seat. On top of that, he’d placed his wolf spirit in the back to avoid frightening the old man again when he woke and now found his limited vision from that position frustrating enough to howl over.Then again, the wolf kept looking at Angela in the moonlight and not the road ahead or the jungle passing by in a blur—at least he blamed the unwarriorlike behavior on the wolf and not the growing desire inside him to do nothing else.It didn’t help that with every jolt and jerk, his fangs gouged his lip and the burning in his head from the fire strike throbbed to the point of madness. He couldn’t think clearly —a condition that worsened beneath the full light of the moon.From the spirit world, he’d seen the effec

Chapter: CHAPTER 8“YOU ARE very lucky, señores,” the attendant said as Nick signed for the eight-passenger Bell helo he’d reserved. They’d landed in Belize a short while ago to the bad news that Erin hadn’t located any car rental place that had picked up passengers from the municipal airport in the predawn hours. Which meant Herrera had used his own transportation and thus was untraceable from that angle.“How is that?” Nick pocketed the keys and papers he needed to lay his hands on the helo. He couldn’t wait to have the joystick in his hand and start eating up the sky.“This morning, all the helicópteros in the city were rented for the whole day and night just to fly guests for a big wedding tonight. If you had needed a piloto as well, you would have not been so lucky.”“A wedding?” Nick asked. He heard Stefanie’s hopeful gasp and saw Annette, Aragon, and Jared turn their attention toward the clerk. “Must be a big one. Who’s getting hitched?”The man rolled his eyes. “I don’t know. Nobody tells Juan a

Chapter: CHAPTER 7CARLOS LAUGHED. “Why bring her amigos? Kill the hombres, especially the hairy one, and tie her up in the supply truck with the priest. Once we off him, there’ll be no record of the marriage and—”“Sí,” Emilio interrupted eagerly. “I will marry the puta and share her and the money with you.”“No, I will marry the puta and share her and the money with you,” Carlos insisted.Emilio glared at Carlos. “It was my idea to—”Ramos moved so quickly, Angela wasn’t exactly sure what happened. He turned and made a sweeping back kick, hitting the guards’ gun arms with such force that Angela heard bones crack before anyone could react. They screamed in pain while their weapons flew high into the air and clanked onto the tiled roof thirty feet above. Ramos landed smoothly on his feet, poised to strike again, still holding Rafael. The feat wasn’t human.The guards looked dumbfounded as they scrambled to draw hidden weapons from their pants, but the ghostly wolf sprang at them, growling with menace. E
