Far From Innocent
by Lorie O'Clare

The Malta Werewolves have barely settled in the Colorado Rockies and already surrounding packs want them out. No one trusts Malta Werewolves, and to make matters worse, Malta Werewolves don't trust each other. They truly will be extinct at this rate.

Tired of a life on the run, Erin Spalto is out of control. She is beautiful, tempting and absolutely not the right female for Juan Anthony. When she pushes her luck too far one day, Juan realizes that no matter her wild nature, he must protect her. However, protecting leads to having, and with each taste, Juan must have more.

Juan wants Erin, but being Dante Aldo's half-brother is a major downfall when Erin's den believes Dante responsible for the burning of their pack on Malta. Their dens' feud comes to a head as the men struggle for dominance and power. As blood is drawn, the two lovers may have to fight harder than they thought possible for each other and for the survival of their pack.

Lorie O'Clare's Bio

All my life, I've wondered at how people fall into the routines of life. The paths we travel seemed to be well-trodden by society. We go to school, fall in love, find a line of work (and hope and pray it is one we like), have children and do our best to mold them into good people who will travel the same path. This is the path so commonly referred to as the "real world". The characters in my books are destined to stray down a different path other than the one society suggests. Each story leads the reader into a world altered slightly from the one they know. For me, this is what good fiction is about, an opportunity to escape from the daily grind and wander down someone else's path. Lorie O'Clare lives in Kansas with her three sons.
