Terry Spear's Jaguar Pride ~Excerpt & Giveaway~
An
impossible mission…
JAG
Special Forces agents Huntley Anderson and Melissa Overton are hot on the trail
of poachers when they’re suddenly saddled with two jaguar shifter cubs. They
have to locate the parents, pronto—but who’s going to babysit in the meantime?
A
lifetime of possibilities…
Huntley
is a rough, tough jaguar shifter and an all-business agent, but he’s not going
to let two abandoned youngsters come to any harm on his watch. Seeing her
super-manly partner try to get the playful cubs under control stirs up some
unexpected desires in Melissa, and she begins to feel like Huntley’s not the
only one who’s in over his head…

Once
inside the park, Melissa and Huntley trekked for miles, not seeing much of
anyone or anything, not with the way the rains were coming down in torrents in
the steamy rainforest. They hadn’t found any sign of Jackson. Just a few
hikers, hardier than most, who endured the rains and mud to see glimpses of
wildlife here and there. When Melissa and Huntley finally set up camp for the
night, she felt wet and miserable. And she couldn’t believe how Huntley looked
like he could go on for several more hours when she was totally beat.
She
should have regretted not sleeping more last night. But making love to him was
what she’d needed. Not that she thought anything permanent was likely to come
out of the relationship.
Just
the same, she’d needed to feel sexy and wanted and loved. Huntley gave that to
her and more. So when he’d wanted more, she just couldn’t say no, despite
knowing that she needed a good seven hours of sleep to feel normal the next
day.
She
was thinking of Jackson and how he had slipped away from them the first time.
She hoped they’d find him soon. Then gunshots fired off in the distance.
Her
heart skipped a couple of beats.
“We
don’t have time to take down the tent. Do we go as humans or jaguars?” Huntley
quickly asked her.
She
loved that about him—how he always included her in the decision making. “If
they’re rangers or police, I want to go as humans. Even if they’re poachers, I
think we’ll be safer if we look like we are ‘tourists.’ We can always shift
when we get there if we need to.”
“Sounds
good.”
At
least they were armed with tranquilizer guns this time.
