WHEN DANGER BITES
Bravo Team Wolf, Book One
It's
can't miss military romance shifter style! When Danger Bites introduces the wolves of Bravo Team and to Kaitlyn Amador,
the corporal suddenly assigned to their team. Who are these wolves? Where do
they come from? Each wolf is a volunteer, sent by his pack, to serve for a term
of three to seven years. Their work protects the packs, and the country they
share. This isn't the first Bravo Team WOLF, but they are the best...
Meet the Captain of Bravo Team WOLF!
Captain
Jasper “Jax” Raymond - Rocky Mountain Pack - Utah, Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska - Alpha Dominic - The captain of the unit, Jax is an
easy-going wolf who enjoys the camaraderie he’s developed with the team. While
not all their packs get alone, they put aside pack animosities to rely on each
other. Though they are also Marines, they choose their captain among themselves
in a battle of dominance—so that makes Jax their biggest badass.
MEET HIS TEAM
Lieutenant
Kurt Marquet Lieutenant - Palisades Pack -
California, Oregon, Washington, Alpha Edison – Kurt’s a bit of a pickle. He’s
tough, and willing to face off against Jax when needed, but he’s also Jax’s
best friend. Kurt has a few secrets of his own, including a female from home he
keeps avoiding.
Lance
Corporal Troy Norton - Granite Pack - Montana, Wyoming, ND, SD
- Alpha Brenna – Troy’s a down-to-earth guy.. Like most wolves, he dislikes
change. Unlike his team mates he doesn’t adapt as swiftly or as easily as they
manage.
Private
Patterson - Great Lakes Pack - Michigan, Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana – Patterson’s an enigma. He likes to go with the flow,
avoiding conflict unless the team has a target.
Private
Jeremiah Benning - Everglades Pack – Florida – Southern to his
roots, Jeremiah likes to kill folks with kindness. Don’t be fooled by his
manner, this is a wolf who hunts alligators for survival.
Sergeant
Carlos “Cage” Castillo - Guadalupe Pack - Texas/Mexico - Alpha
Reuben – Cage has a tough relationship with his alpha father. He wants to be
the best and judges his successes and failures far more harshly than anyone
else.
Sergeant
Stephen "Silver" Lance - Cumberland Pack -
Tennessee, Kentucky – Silver’s charm is more than an psychological technique.
Once he’s decided on something, he doesn’t back down. He’s the perfect ally to
have in your corner.
Private
Butler Garrison - Silvertip Pack – Canada – Butler’s a tough
wolf, but he’s also a polite one. Maybe its his Canadian background, but he’s
just as likely to apologize while ripping someone’s arm off as he is to be
efficient as possible with dispatching their enemies.
They’re
Bravo Team WOLF – Weapons of lethal force, they tackle the impossible missions
and go where they are needed most!
Need a few more reasons to read
military romance with a shifter bite?
How
about:
·
Wolf military heroes are not your
average hero – some characteristics come with uniform like insane sexiness,
honor, respect, and dedication. Add a wolf to the mix and you get a kind of
ferocious loyalty and wildness intrinsic to pack dynamics. The physical fitness
you expect with the uniform turns into a primal perfection with a wolf.
·
These heroes and heroines train to save
the day – from obstacle courses to forced marches to suspending from
helicopters, these Marines train how to track, achieve, and kill if necessary.
The wolf aspect gives them an edge, but they still have to work together. They will put everything on the line to serve
their country, and their packs. Just imagine what they will do to save the one
they love?
·
The intensity of the conflicts – wartime
or peace, you know a strong military and shifter romance hinge on the conflicts
they must survive at home and in the field. Separation. Loss. Adjustment to
civilian life. Measuring their more primitive pack response against the rules
and laws of the military. It can leave these heroes and heroines between a rock
and a hard place.
·
Complicated emotions are at the heart
of every story – Whether you heard about PTSD and survivor’s guilt, these
characters live with it. Every day, and it informs their relationships from
family to friends to teammates and of course, their lovers. No is more
demanding on themselves than these guys and gals.
·
Hot bodies are a given and it wouldn’t
be a romance without them. This doesn’t mean they are perfect—because they are
also flawed. Some may have emotional scars while others physical scars. They
are all weapons—and none more so than the shifters. They can use a knife, their
gun, their muscles or their claws—whatever gets the job done.
