Title: Winter Wonder Tale
Author: Vanessa Victoria Kilmer
Series: Pinevale Valley Book 6
Rage Alexander Ledford, an alpha werewolf, has lost his pack. His only clue is an email confirming reservations at the Kisselton Inn in Pinevale Valley, NC, and a witch’s amulet stinking of black magic. In pain from the severed connections to his found family and filled with anger, he goes in search of the one responsible for the destruction of his world.
Evangeline Crowe, a lone witch, has been hiding in the mountains above Pinevale Valley, NC for centuries after the slaughter of her family and friends by a band of hunters. She trusts no one, especially not the Cherokee man storming her warded land, a man she knew long ago, a man who survived the destruction of their village, a man who doesn’t seem to remember her.
Can Rage and Evangeline overcome their fury and hatred to solve the mysteries of the missing pack, missing memories, and missing trust and fix their broken hearts?
