Forbidden Attraction
by Lorie O'Clare

The Malta werewolf pack must endure the Rocky Mountain winter and the prejudice of surrounding packs before they can once again be strong and proud. Nicolo Spalto is willing to work through all obstacles to make his pack as great as they once were. If that means going to the aid of a lunewulf female, then he'll do it. But when he meets Heidi Lutgard, simply rescuing her isn't enough. In spite of the differences between their packs, he can't deny his attraction to her.

Heidi knows the Malta werewolves are to be avoided at all cost. They are large, dark and very dangerous. However, it's those very traits that have her longing to see the incredibly seductive male who came to her rescue, even though her pack leader forbids it.

Forbidden by their packs to be together, their attraction grows from physical to something more powerful—something too mind-boggling to keep hidden. Now Heidi must face being shunned by her pack just to be with the werewolf she loves, fighting law and tradition with Nicolo to consummate the love no one seems willing to accept or understand.

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.
