Book Description:
Chloe Carpenter isn't like other women. She can
communicate with animals. A gift she unwrapped following one of her frequent
dances with death.
In her
otherwise wacky life, she's finally found a semblance of sanity working at the
Plum Beach Wildlife Park, where her unique talents can make life or death
differences for the animals in her care. That semblance is shattered when a new
veterinarian roars into the park in his spiffed up sports car and sets his
golden gaze on her. If she had her way, he'd roar right back out.
Problem: He's her new coworker and he's saved
her life twice - in the past twenty-four hours.
Zane Marshall, Enforcer for the Pacific Pack of
purebred werewolves, has a job to do - figure out who or what is mutilating the
young men of Plum Beach.
With orders to find the woman who talks to
animals, he accepts a position working alongside the fiery Chloe Carpenter, a
female who ignites his interest far more than he ever expected. Remarkably,
she's the one elusive female with potential to bring meaning and passion to his
empty existence.
Problem: She despises him.
Together, they're forced to unravel a mystery
of supernatural proportions, a murderous mystery with eternal implications for
everyone. In the process, they discover opposites really do attract.
Major Problem: Zane is pledged to another
woman, and she'll do anything to keep him from Chloe.

About the Author:
Like
most authors, Carol Van Atta is no stranger to the written word. She penned a
short novel at age 12 (somewhat frightening illustrations included, and lots of
bunnies were involved), and had a creative writing piece published in her high
school newspaper (about David Bowie's Diamond Dogs LP). Yes, she's an ex-80's chick.
Devouring
books from numerous genres, Carol developed a deep thirst/hunger for more
reading material, and could almost always be found with her nose in a book.
She has
contributed to several popular inspirational anthologies and devotional books,
and lives in the rainy wetland of Oregon with a terrifying teen (another in
college) and a small zoo of animals. She is taking an undetermined hiatus away
from inspirational writing to delve into her darker side. (Though you can check
out her latest spiritual suspense novel, Soul Defenders). It is rumored that
this genre-jumping occurred after Carol discovered too suspicious red marks on
her neck, and experienced an unquenchable urge to howl at the moon.
I'm grinning ... the photo that was posted as me is actually my character photo for Chloe Carpenter, I Kissed a Dog's heroine. I wish I looked like her! Thank you for hosting a tour stop.
