I hope everyone is doing well and keeping healthy. Today I'm sharing a snippet from an oldie: Alpha's Sunshine (part of the Owned by the Alpha anthology) which is on sale for about $1.07 on Amazon! So if you're in need of reading material during this quarantine, now's your chance.
Stay safe and enjoy reading!

A couple walked into the room. The man was tall, scrawny, and reeked of human, but the woman was something different. His mouth watered. Even within the hundreds of smells permeating Moon Point, he could pick out her scent. Sweet, like ripe strawberries. Tempting, like fresh mango fruit. He sniffed the air. There was something else, musky, piquant, delicious. The wolf within him surged, slamming against his chest. What the hell?

The Alpha lives for the hunt...
Driven by instinct, an Alpha shifter recognizes his fated mate from one scent, one touch. He'll pursue his woman, regardless of the cost, and anyone else would be smart to get out of his way. He won't stop until he takes possession of his prize. Although the hunter doesn't need convincing, his mate certainly does. The Alpha will have to prove himself as a lover and convince his woman that he plays for keeps.

I can see him now, finding the woman and telling her "You smell." Or something like that . . .
