Michelle Hasker and I have teamed up once again, this time to provide you the story of Abigail Montgomery.
Abigail Montgomery reads cards. And this time around she has twenty-two very special readings to do. From a woman who needs to learn the magic of love, to another who has to accept her inner beauty. A man who learns to look within himself, and a woman who has to face Death to move beyond. Will these people make the right choices for happiness? Or will their only chance at true love be lost forever?
EXCERPT
Strength
Once he was out of sight, the wolf turned his attention toward Sonya.
“Easy, boy. Easy. I appreciate what you did for me, but please tell me you’re not gonna try and eat me now.”
She was surprised when the wolf tilted his head and—smiled? Did wolves smile? There was no other word for the look on his face as he bared his teeth once again and took a step toward her.
He must have forgotten about the wound in his side, because he flinched and stumbled, falling to the ground with a whine.
Sonya didn’t even think about it, she ran to him and sank to his side to cup his head in her lap.
“Oh, poor, brave baby. Thank you so much. But we need to get you to a vet. Will a vet help a wolf?”
She reached out to his side. It looked pretty bad, but she was the first to admit she knew next to nothing about injuries to animals. Her touch must have caused him pain, because he whimpered loudly.
“I’m sorry, baby.” He licked her hand as she looked around. “My car is just at the other end of the block. Let me go get it and we can get you some help.”
He licked her hand again before lying his head down with a small sound.
Only the labored breathing assured her he was still alive. Patting him once more on his head, she eased him from her lap, and ran to get her car. How she was going to carry what looked like a two hundred pound timber wolf into her car, she had no idea. But after he saved her, she wasn’t going to leave him to die in the cold.
She made it back to the car in record time. She started it up and headed back to the alley, backing in as far as she could get.
It wasn’t until she got out of the car and around a dumpster that she realized her wolf wasn’t there.
Instead there was an unconscious, bleeding, and very naked man.
