Synopsis:
Hugo Ferrar is one busy Hound. Acting as a messenger for his
alpha, he spends more time out of New Orleans than in it. Home in the Big Easy
for only three days, Hugo has a strict schedule to adhere to—celebrate his
brother’s mating, eat and drink his fill, and find a lovely wolf at the
masquerade for a fling.
Lesley-Anne Saucier is drunk on life and one too many hurricanes.
Her masquerade is just the kind of party Delta Crescent needs, especially since
they are celebrating the mating of a popular couple—a match she helped to make.
Avoiding her eager fans, Lesley-Anne is bowled over by a wolf in the garden—a
stunning, male, perfect for her. The moon is full, the masquerade is in full
swing, can the matchmaker find her own perfect mate?
His Moonstruck Wolf is available in the

Read an excerpt from HIS MOONSTRUCK WOLF:
“Running away already?” The husky masculine voice wrapped
around her like a leash seeking purchase.
“Hardly.” She lifted her drink. “I came out to cool off
and have a drink. You?”
“I came looking for you.” What a pity he delivered the
hope-inspiring-line with such practiced ease. Even knowing he possessed all the
right scent markers, declaring him her potential, the smoothness with which he
declared he’d come in search of her suggested his goal was more a warm body for
the night rather than a heart seeking shelter.
“I see. It doesn’t
seem as though you have to look very hard.” She didn’t bother to disguise the
challenge in her voice. She didn’t want an operator, and while wolves might be
highly charged and very sexual creatures, it didn’t mean she had to accept
whatever life had to offer. Mate potential didn’t mean mate acceptance.
“How do you know I haven’t searched the whole of the
bayou for you?” Playful flirtation seemed to shimmer within every syllable.
“Because there’s not a speck of dirt on your very shiny
shoes.” He was lucky she didn’t snort in his face.
He chuckled then tugged off his filigreed mask. Oh, she
could have wished he hadn’t done that. Hugo
Ferrar. Really? She wanted to take her wolf out back and shake it. Hugo
Ferrar was a Hound, second only to Jerome, and exceptionally well known in the
pack—both for his reputation as a fighter as well as a lover,
Though she and he had not crossed paths previously—she
wasn’t an idiot. If Jerome was Serafina’s right hand, then Hugo was her left.
If she needed it done, Hugo would make it happen. It didn’t matter what the job
was, Hugo took them all. For several months, he’d been babysitting the Three
Rivers pack. Rumor had it, Serafina tasked him with a new assignment—one which
kept him on the move.
Lesley-Anne only knew about the latest because his
brother had let it slip. Christopher Ferrara wasn’t supposed to be in the know,
but Hugo was his beloved elder brother and he worshiped the ground the Hound
walked on.
“Maybe I searched the house and the Quarter.” Though even
he winced on the last.
This time Lesley-Anne and didn’t bother to disguise her
snort. One hand on her hip, she simply shook her head. “You stepped outside to
cool off. When you saw a lady alone, you
thought to yourself, ‘She doesn’t appear attached. I’m home for a bit, so I
think I’ll get laid.’” She didn’t hide the disdain in her voice.
“Your teeth are very sharp, pretty one.” Hugo closed the
distance between them. Instead of being deterred by the sharpness of her tone,
he seemed rather intrigued. “To what do I owe the honor of your ire?”
“To what ire are you referring?” She took another drink,
this time draining what was left of her hurricane. She’d need the alcohol to
steel herself for this conversation. Her wolf wagged its tail, as desperate as
a puppy for attention.
Really?
For Hugo? Don’t you think we can do better?
She didn’t want a mate who was always gone, or a mate
whose lothario-like reputation with the ladies served as grist for the pack’s
rumor mill. In fact, all she really wanted this evening was to celebrate the
end of a very fruitful engagement, which led to the mating of Christopher and
Rachel, as well as to celebrate the survival of Delta Crescent into a new year.
Was that too much ask?
“I get the distinct impression you’re very unhappy to see
me.” Hugo set his drink down on the stone balustrade. With the nimble grace of
their species, he leapt to sit next to it. A man in a top coats and tails
shouldn’t look so comfortable atop a stone railing, yet he could have been
lounging in a King Louis XVI chair.
“Not that I like to accuse anyone of paranoia, but
worrying about whether or not I approve of you…particularly at our first
meeting? That’s a little paranoid.” What Lesley-Anne desperately needed was
another hurricane. Or perhaps to return to the party.
