From the USA Today Bestselling Bayou Heat Series comes an all-new sexy, romantic suspense saga… The Pantera Security League Six shifters, representing all factions, working deep undercover. They prowl through the gray area between good and evil, willing to do whatever is necessary to protect their pack. His mission is to find and retrieve the female kept as a sex slave by their enemy’s henchman… Cerviel is trained not to feel and not to get attached. But when he sees the female naked and bruised inside the cage, every instinct he’s forced down surges to the surface. Like him, the female is broken and alone in the world. But if he gives in to his raw, possessive nature, his cover will be blown, and danger will befall everyone he protects. Now that he’s found her, he can’t let her go… Five years ago, Hallie was taken from her family, both parents murdered before her eyes. As a child she had been given Pantera blood, and her power is undeniable—especially to the ones who want to use her. Free now, she must go to the Wildlands, a place she knows nothing about, to solve a mystery no one will reveal. Can she put her trust in the male who rescued her? Because he already has her heart.
Author
I'm not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother's knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on. Years later (no, I'm not admitting how many) I'm still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold! I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes. —From authors website—
