Is he the alpha of her dreams?<\/p>\n<p>The explanation is rooted in a tragic event, a shared past that links them to one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow long are you going to be in Reno, Tyr?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust tonight. I\u2019m driving home tomorrow. Any chance you\u2019d have time for dinner?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wedding rehearsal is tonight, followed by a dinner. How about breakfast?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure. I\u2019ll give you my number and you can call me in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aggie pulled her phone out of her purse and entered his number. She appreciated that he\u2019d given the control over to her and hadn\u2019t insisted on her cell number. He\u2019d been kind, but Tyr was still a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the terminal, Aggie thanked him again. \u201cI\u2019ll call you in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy truck is in long term parking. Can I give you a lift?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks, but my friend Bethany, is picking me up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He smiled and Aggie was awestruck. Consumed by fear, she hadn\u2019t noticed how good looking he was. His brown eyes were definitely his best feature. Tyr was fit and lean, his shoulders broad and his hips narrow.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d have loved to see him without a shirt, but that wasn\u2019t going to happen over breakfast. She had to touch him one more time. She extended her hand. \u201cThanks again for helping me keep it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their hands touched and Aggie sensed a deep connection to this man. His hand was big and tanned and looked powerful. Maybe they\u2019d known one another in another life. Or perhaps in her terror, she\u2019d needed him more than she\u2019d needed anyone in a long time. He\u2019d been wonderful, understanding and reassuring.<\/p>\n<p>As she looked into his eyes, an image flashed, there and gone in a split second. His eyes had changed from soft brown to tawny bright, from human to feral. Gasping, she released his hand. The flight had really shaken her up.<\/p>\n<p>Tyr\u2019s gaze narrowed. \u201cHave a good time tonight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Aggie watched him walk away, duffel bag in hand, his stride long and easy and his back straight. Tyr exuded confidence and control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase Link:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amzn.com\/B01LZYRV2A\">http:\/\/www.amzn.com\/B01LZYRV2A<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Author Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bjmccall.com\/\">www.bjmccall.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-via=\"compbeastsblog\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0 Tyr (Thunder Wolves 4) Author:\u00a0B.J.
