The Lobster Cove Series
By Tena Stetler
Genre: paranormal romance
Elemental witch,
Pepper McKay and former Navy SEAL, Lathen Quartz have built Lobster Cove
Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on enchanted McKay land. During a
romantic interlude on Halloween night, Pepper happily agrees to become Lathen’s
wife. What better day than Winter Solstice for their wedding in a town that
loves celebrations and Christmas. However, planning a wedding and operating
their wildlife center takes a toll on both Pepper and Lathen.
When the couple
takes a much-needed break for Thanksgiving with family in Colorado, a Maine
snowstorm fills the center with injured wildlife. Lathen finds himself drawn
into a covert military mission, while trying to deal with issues concerning
friends and family. Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second
thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen’s werewolf pack, Pepper’s parents,
and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?
A strong arm
whipped around her waist, the air whooshed out as she squealed. Pepper balled
up her gloved fist as a large warm hand wrapped around her wrist. "I've
seen you defend yourself. Not going to chance it." A deep voice chuckled
behind her.
"Lathen --
I'm going to..."
He spun her
around and covered her cold lips with his warm ones. Werewolves run several
degrees warmer than most of the population, one of the many things she loved
about him. She relaxed into him, their parkas making a wisping sound as the
material rubbed against each other. "That's better," he murmured
against her lips.
All at once the
lights in the town square blinked on. Low positioned red and green laser light
decorations sparkled over the snow-covered ground and onto the gazebo
complementing the white lights. From the other direction, a blue laser
sprinkled tiny snowflakes across the building. Evening fell quickly in
December.
"This is
absolutely beautiful," She breathed against his chilled cheek and whirled
out of his hold taking in all the lighted decorations not visible earlier. Then
she pointed toward the bulletin board. "I've been reading the town's
holiday events, Lobster Cove really embraces Christmas."
"Told
you." Lathen said smugly. "Even some of the boats docked in the
harbor are decked out with colored lights."
