Drawn to the Wolves by Shari Mikels

Posted May 22, 2017 by Marsha in This one's a Keeper / 0 Comments

Wolf shifter Callan Mohan has a powerful connection to his pack. As alpha, he can sense if something is wrong—and when he feels panic coming from an unknown source, his instincts tell him she’s someone to be protected at all costs. 

Rescuing a stranger from an unexpected confrontation with two wolf shifters is easy. Helping her move from fear to acceptance of the animals—and him—is a challenge. 

Kate Ballard’s attraction to her mysterious rescuer is instant. That she falls for Callan so quickly isn’t surprising—his strong, confident presence puts her at ease, and the strange connection she has to him makes her feel safe almost immediately. He’s the man she didn’t know she was waiting for. 

It’s only a matter of time before Callan has to tell Kate the truth. And find out, once and for all, if her love for him is enough to overcome her fear.
