Facing The Future

2014

This vignette features Caroline and Tyler Harrison. The very human Caroline grew up amongst the Takhini wolf pack, so it seems only right she’d end up the partner of a growly, grumpy bear shifter who only has eyes for her. They’ve just been chosen as the leaders of the northern bear clans, but before they dive into their work, a honeymoon is in order. Now if Tyler can only get her to actually relax… Timeline: The scene takes place about two weeks following the end of Diamond Dust, during the adventures of Moon Shine. This short Vignette (included in Vivian's Newsletter 21st March 2014) follows about 2 weeks after Diamond Dust (#3) and the next book Moon Shine (#4).

Moon Shine

2014

When the past hurts, it bites. Takhini Wolves, Book 4 Meet Evan Stone. Laid-back, in-control Alpha of the Takhini Wolves. Life’s not perfect, but he’s got a good handle on his world. At least, he did—until the night he ends up in jail, soaking wet and wondering what the hell just happened. The “what” is Amy Ryba, a vengeful female who’s decided it’s long past time to make Evan pay for his sins. Amy has spent years tracking him down, and the last nine months working in secret to destroy him. She’s ready for anything—except discovering the shifter she hates is her mate. Suddenly, Evan’s not so very in control, of himself or his pack. And unless Amy can learn to forgive and forget, she’ll have to do the unthinkable: reject her mate. With two packs watching, one thing is certain. Their personal issues won’t stay personal for long. If Amy and Evan can’t find a way to work together, there won’t be a happily-ever-after for them…or any of the wolves of Whitehorse. Warning: Contains angsty wolves. Lots of angsty wolves causing explosions of all sorts, playing bad pranks, hacking computers, and having angry sex against a wall or two. Not all at the same time, though, because that would be silly.
