Feather Adorned
by Lorie O'Clare

Andrea Prudeaux is beautiful, sultry and aggressive. She also has a deep, dark secret. It’s one she is willing to take to her grave.

Beel Halk works with his brothers to keep Banff peaceful and a lucrative place for all to live. If there’s a problem, a Halk brother is on it. They protect their own. Strong predatory instincts flow in Beel’s blood. No one harms what is his. The new little owl in town is on his radar despite her independence, and he’s more than willing to tame her wild side—as a matter of fact, he’s looking forward to it.

Andrea tries resisting Beel’s possessive nature despite being inescapably drawn to his raw power and seductive ways. Revealing her secret, opening up and trusting someone else to protect her and her sister when the past explodes in her face, is something new for Andrea. But she must learn to give Beel what he wants, not only to satisfy the burning need inside her, but to save her life.

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.
