Claimed by Love by Skye Jones #Excerpt & Character Interview

Blurb: Kayley Edwards has spent the last four years closing herself off after a vicious attack by her lover left her scarred and terrified. After fleeing her native Alaska, she ran the length of the country and began a new life in Miami far from her family and friends.

When her cousin and his friends decide to vacation nearby, he invites her to join them, saying he has important news. Determined not to let fear rule her life, Kayley agrees to meet with them, only to have her world turned upside down. His friends include the two gorgeous men who’ve haunted her dreams for months, kindling her desire, and challenging her to take a chance on love.

Pack alpha, Luke Johnson, has sensed Kayley in his visions for years. He and his mate, Sean Wallace, know she is meant to be theirs. But how will she react when she finds out the world they inhabit is one she never dreamed existed? As passions collide, Sean finds himself acting as a bridge between his strong willed alpha and a skittish Kayley. But can they break through Kayley’s defenses and convince her to join their family?

Just as it seems the three may have a future together, a ghost from Sean’s past strikes at the heart of their happiness. They must fight for everything they hold dear to win their chance at love.

And here’s a short interview with Luke, courtesy of Skye Jones: 

You had visions of your mates for years. What was that like?

Reassuring but also difficult. I could see them but never fully connect – they were always just out of reach. I sensed them, saw them, heard them, but couldn’t reach out to them and make contact.

If you weren’t a bounty hunting werewolf, what would you be?

(Sighs) We aren’t werewolves, we are wolf shifters. It’s not that hard to grasp. And I wouldn’t want to be anything else.

What’s the best thing about Sean?

All of him. Everything. I wouldn’t change one thing about him.

How did you feel when you first met Kayley?

Possessive. I wanted her. Same as with Sean. She was meant to be mine. Things aren’t simple though, and I had to hold back.

What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t working?

To shift and go for a long run in wolf form. I love being outside with the elements. Alaska is the best place to run free!

Thanks for dropping by, Luke.

Excerpt:

One of the things Sean loved most about Luke was how he never treated him like a subordinate, even though he technically was, both at work and in their relationship. Well, he was if you followed traditional wolf shifter rules of alpha’s first, mates second. Many packs ran their affairs that way and thought nothing of it. Sean had lived that life once before and never wanted it again. Luke always kept Sean in the loop and genuinely seemed to value his input. There were many times he’d changed course after taking Sean’s advice.

“Let’s get cleaned up and go find her.” Sean stroked a finger down Luke’s arm.

“Maybe we should give her some space?” Luke said.

“She told me last night she loves cooking, why don’t I get her to help me out in the kitchen?” Sean said. “That way she doesn’t have to talk about it, or sit with everyone, but she’s still part of the group, still included.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Luke turned his head to drop a single kiss in Sean’s palm.

Sean reached down and undid Luke’s shoes, taking them off before pulling his pants down. By the time he got to drag the T-shirt over his head, Luke’s dick started showing renewed interest in proceedings, already half hard.

“You’re insatiable. A veritable animal.”

“I am an animal and so are you. Wanna make wild monkey love in the shower?” Luke grinned.

“Nah. I hear monkey love is overrated. Wolf love on the other hand…”

Sean gave a mock howl of outrage as Luke pulled him up and swatted his behind, following him into the shower.
