Today, I have Rosanna Leo to share her latest Gemini Island novel: Predator's Claim.
Peep Rep: They all look very friendly...
Liza: Yes, they certainly do. So let's find out more...
For years, wolf shifter Bart Cairo has
harbored secret feelings for his co-worker, Charlotte Moffatt. Even though he
thinks he’s been discreet with his affections, everyone at Gemini Island’s Ursa
Fishing Lodge knows he and Charlotte, a fellow wolf shifter, are meant to be
mates. Everyone but Charlotte.
Charlotte couldn’t be less interested in
mating. A free spirit, she wants nothing more than to succeed at her new career
in the big city and leave small-town Gemini Island behind. However, she can’t
deny Bart stirs up unwanted emotions inside her. Emotions she swore she’d never
feel again.
The occasion of Bart’s family reunion compels
him to assume new responsibilities, and to consider a role he never envisioned
for himself. Family tensions rise to the surface as a new Alpha is proclaimed
in his pack. And when old grudges escalate, Bart must stake his claim.
Charlotte resists as he stakes a claim on her
as well. But when he begins to employ sexual tactics of temptation, she wonders
if the only solution is submission to the enticing wolf man. Can she trust her
heart again? And can they find their happy ending before an enemy cuts their
story short?
His boss sighed. “I know you miss her.”
Bart’s eyes popped wide open. All of a
sudden, his scar felt like a throbbing mess of nerves. He rubbed the craggy
line that ran from his forehead, over his right eyebrow and down to his cheek.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t play coy with me. I’ve been working
with you for years and can read you like a book, my friend.” He stared him
down. “I know how you feel about Charlotte Moffatt.”
Oh, shit. “What? Who?”
“Oh, you want me to spell it out? Fine.” He
began to speak extra slowly, as if to a really stupid mute.
“Bart Cairo, I am
aware that you secretly lust after my chambermaid Charlotte. You know, the cute
little wolf shifter with the potty mouth? Black hair, silvery eyes. Remember
her? And I know that since she left the resort a couple of months ago to finish
her research in Toronto, you’ve been an emotional wreck.”
Bart stared, flabbergasted and bereft of
words. He thought he’d been so discreet.
“In fact,” Ryland continued, “you may think
your love of this woman is a total secret, but the whole resort knows.
Everyone. Even some of the regular customers. Seriously, dude. I get emails
from people asking, ‘Did Bart ever get together with Charlotte? They’d make
such a cute couple.’ So, I think you need to shit or get off the pot, my
friend. Either that, or stop harassing my customers.” His black eyes burned
with frustration.
The hammering of his heart seemed intent on
vanquishing the wild pounding in his head, the same pounding that had begun
ever since Charlotte had announced she was going to spend a few months at the
University of Toronto to complete her master’s in religious education. It was
on that day Bart took a swift leave of his senses.
She wanted to spend a few months in the big
city. Away from tranquil Gemini Island where they both worked. Away from him.
In a place where there were lots of bars and temptations and … men.
