Found in Flames
by Rose Wulf
Hello everyone! I’m author Rose Wulf
and I’m here today to tell you all about my latest release, Found in Flames! Found in Flames is Book 2 in my Night Shadows series, which is set
in a world full of vampires, werewolves, witches, and humans called Slayers.
This installment focuses on the powerful, sexy Luka Craige – Alpha werewolf
with a mission – and unassuming, overworked Joella Harp – a human caught in the
crossfire.
All his life Luka Craige has been haunted by the witch that
killed his family. Finally, having chased him across the country to the edge of
vampire territory, Luka has his chance at vengeance. But not before his Beta is
killed and Luka finds himself protecting a woman he doesn’t know. A woman who
arouses him like never before. Could he possibly exact his revenge and
find his mate?
A burning body was the last thing
Joella Harp expected to find when she rounded the corner. Let alone a body with
a man standing over it. After that her droll life becomes a whirlwind of
werewolves, wild sex, and deadly fire. The witch wants her dead, she can barely
think past her mouthwatering rescuer, and in no time she realizes this
adventure could be more than a fantastical memory…. If she’s brave enough.
Excerpt:
The body
over his shoulder tensed in split-second warning and Luka cringed even as
another high-pitched shriek tore through the air. If my ears ever stop ringing I’ll be damn lucky. And judging from
the expressions of the frozen, wide-eyed, wincing wolves around him, Luka
imagined he wasn’t the only one who felt that way. But he knew damned well he
was the only one who’d do anything about it, so he kicked aside a rock and
deliberately dropped the woman on her ass.
Her
scent rushed past his nose as she fell and he was reminded forcefully of the
wave of desire he’d first felt when he’d tackled her full-figured, curvy body
to the ground in that alley. For an illogical moment he’d wanted nothing more
than to taste her. Fortunately, as before, he was quickly pulled back to his
senses.
“Ow!”
the woman exclaimed, her scream ending abruptly as she crashed onto the dirt.
The jolt of the impact only threw her off for a moment, however, as she immediately
scrambled to her feet and threw a pointer finger into his face. Or, rather, as
‘in his face’ as she could from her 5’8” height. It was kind of cute the way
she had to crane her neck just to maintain eye contact when she got close.
“Just who do you think you are, pal?” she said, jabbing his collar with her
finger. “You can’t run around kidnapping people!”
He had a
fleeting second to consider that, under vastly different circumstances, he
might have been highly entertained by the scene she presented. But he was in no
mood for humor or long, loud, unfounded lectures. Fortunately, their audience
wasn’t afraid to make itself known, either.
Distinct
throat-clearing from Chad seemed to break through her rage because her eyes
widened and she cut a glance to the side. Luka watched as she quickly realized
they weren’t alone, noting the rush of blood to her cheeks and the way her
shoulders tightened as her scent changed from surprise to embarrassment to
fear. She turned in a complete circle, taking in the gathering strangers, and
when she was done she’d taken a partial step closer, as if she suddenly trusted
him.
“Where
are we?” she whispered out the side of her mouth.
“Safe,”
Luka replied shortly. If he’d intended to say anything else, though, he
supposed he ought to have known better.
The
woman whose name he didn’t yet know spun back to him, her brown eyes wide
again. “Safe? Are you serious? I’ve been kidnapped! How am I supposed to feel safe?”
“Maybe
you shouldn’t,” Vanna offered bitingly as she and Morgan stepped down from a
crevice of rocks, lightweight dresses hanging off their shoulders. They came to
a stop several feet away, on the other side of Chad, and kept their glares on
the human as if they were sending her psychic insults. Which, Luka figured, they
undoubtedly would if they could.
But Luka
really wasn’t in the mood for their crap, so he cut in with a glare at the wolf
who should’ve known better. “Vanna.” He waited until she’d looked away, head
bowed and silent, before returning his attention to the human woman. “You can
leave whenever you want,” he said bluntly. “But out there,” he added, jerking
his head over his shoulders to indicate the city lights she probably couldn’t
see, “the witch can get you. And he will come.”
The
woman’s mouth opened, her scent telling him she was fully prepared to argue
with his statement, and he knew the exact moment her brain processed his words.
A couple of heartbeats later her mouth snapped shut and she swallowed heavily.
“Al—”
Chad began, cutting himself off and clearing his throat as he obviously thought
better of his wording. “What about Justin?” he asked instead. “Do you want me
to go find him?”
Schooling
his expression into the closest thing he could manage to minor frustration,
Luka replied, “No.”
“But—”
“No,” he
repeated, lifting a stare to the younger wolf for emphasis.
“I’m
sorry,” the woman finally mumbled as Chad’s head lowered in submission. “Did
you say ‘witch’?”

About Rose:
Rose Wulf is a giant romance
fangirl. Hot, protective, sometimes even downright barbaric heroes and spitfire
heroines are her favorites. Rose has been writing for as long as she can
remember, and over the years she’s only grown fonder of it. The bonds between

hoping that, when she does find him, he’ll be willing to cook!).
