Touching the Moon

Escaping her abusive past, a woman settles in a small town and finds herself pursued by two men-and protected by a mysterious wolf.   A veterinarian by training and a gifted healer by nature, Julie Hastings escapes to rural South Dakota, hoping to escape past traumas and start over. What she finds instead are two men who suddenly rival for her attention: one the overprotective chief of police, the other a powerful member of the Sioux Indian nation. Each man longs to help Julie find the peace she desperately needs-a serenity that is shattered when a brutal murder rocks the neighborhood. Trusting people is not in Julie's nature, so when a mysterious wolf befriends her, she leans into his protective animal instincts. Until the shocking truth about her beastly protector shakes her to the core, shattering everything she once understood about love.

A mother fears her lycanthrope sons have been taken by wolf trappers, and her shape-shifting husband is out for blood, in this paranormal suspense novel.   When the timber wolves of Fallston, South Dakota, fall prey to an international ring of fur trappers, Julie Walker worries for her husband, Gray. As the leader of the Sioux Indian nation, he may be under suspicion by the local police, but Julie knows Gray would never harm a wolf. He is part wolf, after all, as are their twin sons.   So when the twins disappear, Julie's worst fears are ignited and Gray's powerful protective instincts rise to the surface. As Gray goes on the hunt for their boys, Julie confronts an enemy from her past-who could be an ally in her fight for her boys-if only Julie could trust him . . .
