Exploring the Land
(2022)(The third book in the Wild Lands series)
A Story by A J Marcus and Caitlin Ricci
Rugged cowboy Colin Abbey wants a taste of the wild frontier when he attends a pioneering 1969 rodeo in Colorado. But unbeknownst to Colin, he’s already caught the eye of a wild spirit - Tomah, a headstrong wolf shifter who has become obsessed with Colin during his stay at the Abbey family’s ranch.
Though Colin initially rejects Tomah’s bold advances, fate intervenes when an impulsive Tomah stows away in the back of Colin''s pickup truck. Suddenly on an impromptu road trip, opposites Colin and Tomah are forced together as they confront hostile small towns, bigoted biker gangs, and their own simmering attraction.
As the understandably wary Colin opens his mind and challenges norms he’d never questioned back on the ranch, he ignites a journey of erotic self-discovery with brash, liberated Tomah. But can their powerful physical bond blossom into something deeper? Will prejudices and pack politics allow this cowboy and wolf-shifter to explore who they truly are together?
Raw, tender and steamy, their unexpected summer of love might just change their lives...if it doesn’t get them killed first. For in order to claim their destined mate, man and wolf must first face the darkness within themselves and society’s narrow minds. Only then might their passion blaze a new trail in the changing American frontier.
Exploring the Land continues the journey of the Abbey family and the pack of wolves they share the land with. Each book in the Wild Lands series explores a different historical time and a different pairing. Come along with us as times change and the humans and wolves fight to keep their footing on the massive ranch they all call home.
