Wolf's Tender — Gem Sivad

A book in the Eclipse Heat series

Charlie Wolf is half Kiowa, all bounty hunter and a no-nonsense man--until he meets a schoolteacher with cornflower-blue eyes. After marauding outlaws attack Naomi's school and kidnap her students, she's desperate and will do anything to rescue them, even seduce the best tracker in Texas to secure his help.

Naomi offers one night of sexual favors, underestimating the power of Charlie's predatory charm and his determination to claim her as his mate. She's impatient with his decisions, questions his authority and generally ignores his warnings. But she melts in Charlie's arms when he makes love to her.

Blood is spilled, past murder avenged, desperadoes captured and lust assuaged as the two set out to rescue Naomi's young ladies.
