Under His Skin (ePub)

It seems like an eternity since Ana Vulpe returned home to find her lover burning the thing she prized most in the world--the fox skin that was the key to her true form. The consequences of that horrible night plague her even two years later. With her sanity strained to the breaking point and her spirit withering with every day she's forced to stay in human form, Ana will do anything to escape the prison of her human flesh. Whether she has to beg, borrow . . . or steal.

As the most gifted healer the selkie people have known in over three centuries, Brec knows he should be grateful for his gift. But he isn't. Every day he dreams of joining his brother's pod of warriors, of throwing away his bag of healer's herbs and taking up the weapons of his ferocious kin. When his skin is stolen, no one argues when Brec insists that he be allowed to face the thief himself. Finally, he is going to war with a true enemy, someone who dared to steal a part of him he could never live without. But he's about to realize that war is never as glorious as it seems . . .

When Ana wakes up tied to her bed with a vengeful selkie standing over her, the only thing that burns hotter than their anger is the desire that thickens the air between them. Using every wile in her repertoire, Ana almost succeeds in convincing the selkie to leave with his skin--until he discovers that his is not the only skin she has stolen. Now the righteous warrior with the dark eyes and searing kiss is determined to stay until she gives up not only the skins, but her secret as well.

Can the selkie cast off his healer's sensibilities long enough to do what has to be done to force Ana's hand? Or has the desperate vixen succeeded in getting . . . Under His Skin?
