The Spirit of the Wolf

The end of a curse hides behind a riddle-and the final clue in the heart of a woman. The Lost Clan, Book 2 Grey Coyote stands on the knife edge of desperation. An ancient curse dooms his people to a half-life in the mists, neither living nor dead-unless he can solve a deceptively simple riddle. As time runs short, he's sure the answer lies in beating a white trapper in a game of chance. Among the trapper's possessions, though, is a prize he never expected. A golden-haired woman as beautiful, delicate and stubborn as a prairie rose. One moment Marietta Welsford is wondering how long it will take her hired guide to finish his game so she can hurry home to Rosemead, the English estate to which she hopes to lay claim. The next, she is abandoned with a man whose magnetism tugs at her body and soul, and makes her heart out-thunder the storm. With so little time to lift the enchantment, Grey Coyote at first views Marietta as a trickster-sent distraction. But as sure as the star that guides him, it soon becomes clear she is the clue that could ultimately free his people...and capture his heart. Warning: Sensuous love scenes and unsolvable riddles might cause sleepless nights filled with unbridled passion.
