Are some obstacles too difficult
for love to overcome?
For years, Melissa Hewitt has
dreamed of being hunted by a panther, a huge, black creature that pursues her

And it is in the Canadian Rockies that Melissa escapes the stresses of her work

and allure. There is something about Leander Garrett, however, that draws
Melissa, making him almost impossible to ignore; that, and the fact that once
they had been friends.
As winter turns into spring,
Leander’s chilly demeanor begins to thaw, but danger prowls through the
mountains, and Lee has a secret that lurks beneath his elegant clothes and
rippling physique. Something that compels him to reject what he desires the
most.

himself and finally allow his heart to love, and be loved in return?
A captivating paranormal romance,
Moondance will keep you enthralled to the very last page.
Excerpt:
Darkness hung over the ground
like a pall as Melissa stumbled blindly through the forest, lurching between
shadowy trunks and swerving around bushes that seemed to materialize out of
nowhere. Barbed branches clawed her face and arms, leaving angry welts in their
wake. Protruding roots, intent on hindering her escape, sent her to her knees,
leaving them scratched and bleeding. She gasped for breath as the blood pounded
furiously in her ears while her chest burned with each breath. Sweat dripped
down her forehead, covering her brow. Fear had slickened her palms, and her
legs trembled as she careened between the trees. Behind her, her pursuer flew
with seeming effortlessness over the ground, its enormous paws making no sound
as it closed the gap between them. From the corner of her eye she saw the huge
cat drawing alongside her, its bright green eyes shining eerily in the dark.
Her foot caught the rough end of a stump, and she flung out her hands as she
tumbled to the ground. The panther leaped toward her as her screams tore
through the air.
Melissa jolted upright in her
bed, her eyes wide as she searched her room in terror for the beast. Rigid
fingers gripped the sheet, straining the fabric until it was close to ripping.
Her heart hammered in her chest, the memory of reaching claws and hot breath on
her neck still too close to dismiss. She loosened her hold on the sheet one
aching finger at a time until it fell from her grip.
