\"Rebels'Claw_300x450\"<\/a>Where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey. I\u2019m from the Lamar Canyon pack in Yellowstone National Park. It\u2019s a cool place for bad boys to play. Me and my best buddy, Jared, used to jump over steaming fumaroles, nearly burning our man parts off. I tipped over a buffalo once. That\u2019s how I lost my claw. Unfortunately, Jared disappeared three years ago. When I find his killer, I\u2019m going to make him pay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who is your greatest enemy and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ranchers. They get their rocks off shooting wolves. As a result, my pack is in tatters. What\u2019s left of us are moving to the Black Hills of South Dakota to join the Tao pack. Talk about a sucky situation. How am I supposed to hand over my identity to some new Alpha?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Name one person you trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aunt Lara. She got her own story in Alpha in Disguise<\/em>, the prequel to Rebel\u2019s Claw<\/em>. I trust her because she\u2019s family, and if you can\u2019t trust family, who can you trust? She also used to be the Alpha of the Lamar Canyon pack. I think she\u2019s out of her mind for merging the pack with the Tao, but she must know what she\u2019s doing. I just wish she\u2019d stop nagging me so much. Hellhole, South Dakota, gets kind of boring without a little hell-raising.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do have a love interest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t call it that. Carrie Myers was just a good lay on a stormy night when I needed shelter. She\u2019s a rancher. No way could I could get involved with one of those.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you think you can ever reconcile with the enemy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe when hell freezes over. Carrie is different from most ranchers I\u2019ve met. She actually installed wolf deterrents on her ranch and seems to be a caring person. She also makes me so hot she has to be my mate. But she knows something about Jared. I can sense it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recluse Carrie Myers lives on the Wyoming cattle ranch her late father left her. One fateful night changes her life forever, leaving her questioning her sanity. She knows what she saw\u2026or does she? Regardless, she\u2019ll do anything to protect the awful secret that has haunted her for the past three years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When fate brings Roark to Carrie\u2019s doorstep, the connection between them is undeniable. Determined to avoid commitment, they agree to give in to their unexplainable attraction for one night. Will hatred consume this hell-raising shifter, or can he learn love and forgiveness in the enemy\u2019s arms?<\/p>\n

Excerpt (explicit)<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rebel\u2019s Claw – Copyright \u00a9 Afton Locke, 2015<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When his fingers tangled on the waistband of her panties, her legs trembled and her cleft burned with need. For the first time, she wished she owned lacy, feminine lingerie instead of boring, practical underwear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThese are so sexy,\u201d he whispered as if reading her mind. \u201cSo perfect on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She gasped when his finger dipped under the white fabric, probing and swirling over swollen flesh. Her head thrashed on the pillow. Surely, she didn\u2019t deserve such pleasure. With each caress, he promised even more. Completely disconnected from reality, she hovered over an abyss.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let me go.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She craved him every night, to make her forget everything causing her pain. With an instinct of their own, her hips danced as sinuously as a snake\u2019s. His finger slipped inside, thrusting deep. If her pleasure was electricity, he\u2019d light her up for miles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He grabbed her hand and pressed it to the rock-hard bulge in his jeans. She shied away when he unzipped himself, but he pressed his bare cock into her palm. Lord, she\u2019d never felt anything so hot. So alive. A trail of juice seeped from her core.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAre you still sure you want to do this?\u201d he whispered in her ear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their chests bucked and swelled against each other from their hard breathing. She felt as if she\u2019d run the length of the ranch a hundred times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cY-yes, Roark.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThen grab my wallet off the nightstand since you\u2019re closer to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her body tensed. He didn\u2019t plan to pay her like a prostitute, did he? Daddy definitely wouldn\u2019t approve. He wouldn\u2019t look kindly on a one-night stand, either.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a condom in it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When she twisted away from his hot skin, the contrast of the cool air caused her to shiver. Clumsier than ever, she dropped the wallet on the bed. It opened, revealing several pictures in plastic sleeves. She couldn\u2019t resist flipping through them. Did he have a girlfriend? Hopefully not a wife. Hopping cow patties. She hadn\u2019t even thought to ask about that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too late to back out now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The people were all ages and shared a similar look to him, so she assumed they were family. She could hardly concentrate, with him stroking her back and grinding his wonderful hardness against her buttocks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re taking too damn long,\u201d he muttered against her hair. \u201cI\u2019m about to take you, condom or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cH-hold on a second,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When she spotted the last picture, the heat in her body turned to ice. She blinked, hoping she\u2019d seen it wrong, but the image only became clearer. Her mouth dropped open in horror as she stared at the face of a reddish-haired man with a beard. Nausea twisted her gut while a lone coyote howled in the distance. The remembered sensation of mud and blisters floated across her hands\u2026.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, dear Lord. It was him! The face of the creature she\u2019d killed.<\/p>\n
