    About this ebook

    Cats and dogs usually don't mix. So what happens when a werewolf and a werecougar become mates? Lots of excitement you can be sure :)

    Werewolves & Shifters, sisters... a kidnapping, an unusual business deal and new expectations to boot. Mix up a group of big cats and big dogs and find out what happens next!

    Can a wolf and a cougar find happiness together? Or will this new threat tear them apart?

    Life happens to us all - and sometimes, in the blink of an eye, life can go from normal and mundane to absolutely awful. And so it goes with this tale. One minute Lynda Seron, a shape shifter herself, was having a regular old ordinary day at home with her sister, Sonya, when something completely unexpected happened and turned both their lives around forever in the worst way possible....

    This 12,000-word episode is the first installment in The Animal Sagas - Thrown to the Wolves Series, a paranormal romance that follows the complicated relationship between the Seron sisters and the Strongheart werewolf pack. (A quick and enjoyable lunch time read! Do you read while eating lunch too?)

      Animal Heat - Susan G. Charles

      Chapter 1

      AN UNSUSPECTED KNOCK came to the door of their cabin. It wasn’t an outrageous beat-your-door-down kind of knock, but it was loud enough to startle the sisters from the relaxing comfort of a peaceful breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, and tall glasses of milk, all from their livestock. Curiously enough, that livestock they so loved had been mysteriously vanishing throughout the month, slowly but surely, without a trace.

      The sisters’ eyes went wide as they gazed at one another. How long had it been since they’d received a visitor in the earliest hours of the day? The roosters had just first crowed not long ago.

      Who could it be at this hour of the morning, and what could this person on the other side of that door possibly want? Maybe it was their farm animals’ predator, or a wanderer lost in the woods, someone who had crossed their path by chance and perhaps might be injured and needing assistance.

      Linda tapped her slim index finger on her lips three times before whispering, Not yet, to her sister and focused on Sonya’s sparkling blue eyes. The young ladies then broke their intense three-second eye contact and separated to either side of the room. Linda sprang from her seat with a twist toward the bedroom and tiptoed through the dining area, over the hardwood as if it were on fire, en route to her bedroom door.

      Sonya’s blond hair repetitively swayed from left to right, her blue eyes rummaging about the two-level cabin out of control, as she quietly moved about the room. She cautiously looked out all of the windows, the two in the living room, the one behind her, and the one at the end of the hallway, trying not to be seen by the mysterious stranger on the other side of the front door. She looked to the ones upstairs as if the visitor was not alone and was wishing to do them harm.

      What was it that she’d searched for? Nothing; only her thoughts rambled, searching for the right words to utter, or wondering what words their guest might speak once the door was finally opened. Sonya frantically moved back to her usual seat at the table. No, she didn’t sit down, not entirely. She only made it halfway there before she heard another knock to the door. This time the knock was louder and much stronger.

      This time it sounded more like a serious police I’m-going-to-take-you-to-jail kind of knock. In fact, to her it sounded almost like a shotgun blast — not the crack of the shot itself, but the thud of the impact when the ammunition hits the target.

      She crouched as low as she possibly could to the hardwood floor. Her arms could have dragged on the floor but instead she held tight onto the table’s edge, with her eyes just above her knuckles, her nose resting in between her hands. Sonya resembled a young pussycat, peeping out of a box at the mystery which lies ahead.

      From the first level of the cabin, less than twenty feet away, rushed up a furious Lynda, with a matte black pistol-grip pump-action shotgun in her hands, on her way to answer the front door.

      Sonya bounced into the hallway, taking cover behind the wall, watching her sister as she reached the door. Lynda pumped the shotgun, keeping a stone face.

      Shick-chick!

      Cocking that shotgun was one scary sound. She hoped that the person on the other side of the door completely understood what the sound meant. She put
