New Cover- Wolf Nip

By Vivian Arend

Wolf Nip
Granite Lake Wolves, Book 6

Cat got your tongue?

Tessa Williams is looking to make her mark outside the family business, and the unusual landlocked paddle wheeler she spots in Haines, Alaska, strikes her as the perfect location. Only the owner is being difficult, refusing to sell. Still, she’s sure that replacing her written queries with a little in-person charm is all she’ll need to shortly have her Eco-tour B&B on the road to success.

Local wolf-slash-owner of said vessel, Mark Weaver, isn’t hanging on to the landmark building out of spite. There are more reasons for holding back the sale than are easily explained on paper. A face-to-face meeting to resolve the matter only confounds it—when Mark recognizes Tessa as his mate.

But she’s a cat…and cats don’t do insta-mates.

The sexual attraction between them isn’t in question, just everything else. He wants her. She wants twue wuv. His wolf can’t figure out what the holdup is. Her cat thinks the entire situation, and the pack, are rather amusing.

Somewhere in here is the beginning of a beautiful relationship—if they don’t drive each other mad.

Warning: One hyper cat, one laid-back wolf. Inappropriate use of permanent markers, and a heaping side dish of cat/dog jokes. Shenanigans (read: nookie) in front of a roaring fire. Spiced liberally with sarcasm. Enjoy!

It fits the characters/story because I can see her being cat like and him shifted. I also like color scheme chosen. Looks great.

    Ooops- yes, I forget to mention because it’s, as usual, Angela Waters. She’s been doing ALL my Samhain covers for so long now I just assume people know SHE’S MINE!

WANT NOW VIV! Sounds awesome.

I once drew a smily face on DH’s butt (his crack with the nose – he had plumbers crack going on!) while we where moving house. He couldn’t work out why our friends and I giggled uncontrollably every time he picked up a box… until he showered 4 hours later. Took 4 days to come off. HHEHEE
