Town, the secrets run deep…
Alpha werewolf Brett Silver has an ulterior motive when he donates a
prized family heirloom to the Silver Town hotel. Ellie MacTire owns the place
with her sisters, and he’s out to get her attention.
Ellie is even more special than Brett knows. She’s a wolf-shifter with a
unique ability to commune with the dead. Ellie has been ostracized, so she
protects herself and those she loves by revealing nothing—not even when strange
and dangerous things begin to happen in Silver Town. And especially not to the
devastatingly handsome and generous wolf who’s determined to win her over…

EXCERPT
He rolled over on the bed and ran his hand
through his hair. He’d been having
these dreams more frequently
the more often he saw Ellie. It wasn’t dream mating. At least not the same as it had been for Jake and Darien.
Maybe that was because everyone
was so different. The
experience had been so incredibly real, not dreamlike
at all. Brett felt like he’d really had sex with her. Which meant she
was his, in the way a wolf claims his mate.
He’d never had such
strong dreams before where he couldn’t separate fantasy from reality.
He groaned and stared at his phone sitting on
the bedside table. Then he grabbed it and called Ellie. “Are you still awake?”
She answered on the first ring. “If I weren’t,
could you tell?”
He smiled, got out of bed, and began changing
the sheets. “I couldn’t sleep.”
“No wild and sexy dreams?”
Her voice was drowsy and sexy, and he envisioned her in
bed wearing the moose T-shirt she’d had on before she tossed it and was
completely naked.
“Yeah, actually, I was having this really hot
dream about this incredibly hot and sexy she-wolf.”
Silence.
He was afraid he’d shocked her. “Are you still there?” “With me?” she asked, sounding startled.
Who else would he be dreaming of? He laughed
though. “Yeah. I didn’t embarrass you, did I?” He finished changing
the sheets on his bed, then climbed
back into it.
“Hmm, what if I said I
was dreaming about you?” He paused. “Really.”
“Yeah, but you know everyone fantasizes about
people they’re dating, right?”
“Yeah, sure.” He pulled the covers over his
waist. “So what was I wearing?”
“No shirt, no boxer briefs, just your jeans.
What was I wearing?”
“A brown T-shirt with
a moose on the front of it.” “No.”
“Yeah. It’s weird what you’ll envision in a
dream, right? So what were you really wearing?” Brett asked.
“That’s what I was really wearing.”
Both were silent for a few seconds, then Brett said,
“Okay, so tell me exactly
what happened in your dream.”
After she gave him an abbreviated version, he whis- tled. “I know you can see ghosts, but are you…psychic?”
“No.”
“Hell, Ellie. You know
what this means?”
“We are not dream mated.”
“Okay, so if you went out with someone else,
you’d see that you wouldn’t dream about him in the same way we dream about each other—and you’ll
know we’re meant to be together.” He couldn’t imagine
a better way to prove it, not that he really meant
for her to do so, nor would he
suggest it in a million years. But he assumed that’s what would happen.
“Are you serious?
What if I start dating
a wolf, and he
thinks I’m really interested in him? What if I am? Okay, fine. I’ll ask Sarandon on a date.”
“No, wait. I didn’t mean for you to do that.
It was just a hypothetical comment.” No way did he want Ellie
asking Sarandon out. What if his brother was interested in her? Besides, the news would spread through
the pack like wildfire.
“No, I think it’s a good idea. A great social
experi- ment. If we’re meant to be together, then we will be. Listen, it’s really late and I’ve got to get up early tomor- row. I’ll talk to you later. Night,
Brett.” Ellie hung up on him.
“Wait!” Ah hell, he’d just been talking off
the top of his head. If they were dream mated, it was a done deal and they
needed to make the fantasy come true. He was certainly ready. He called
her back, but she didn’t
answer. Brett let out his breath in a growl. He didn’t want her to date anyone else.
What if she was angry
with him over suggesting that and she called it off between them
completely?
Then he smiled.
She couldn’t. Not if they were dream mated. She would want him back no
matter what. Then again, what if they weren’t?
No way. Though
there were a couple of minor
discrepancies in what she had seen and what he had witnessed during their
heated dreams, any two people experiencing the same dream would surely each see
things a little differently. He had to try to convince her once and for all that
they were meant for each other.
