Feather Possessed
by Lorie O'Clare

Heath Halk runs his parliament of owls honorably. Every nest in Banff is his concern and he takes his job very seriously. He's never given thought to finding a mate until Shelly Preston walks in, blindsiding him.

Shelly holds her head high in spite of how the parliament views her parents. Shelly's nest is trash. Everyone knows it. Most think she's trash too. But Shelly won't fly without honor despite the passion lying deep within her. She won't shake her tail feathers for just any male. Anyone who knows her and flies by her side understands this about her.

When Heath flies after Shelly, she doesn't understand what the most desirable male in Banff would want with her. Heath could have any female, yet he continues coming after her. As their lust smolders into stronger emotions, Shelly and Heath need to learn if flying together for the rest of their lives is possible. If they mate it will mean bringing the best nest and the worst nest in Banff together, forever.

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.
