Protecting the Land
(2022)(The second book in the Wild Lands series)
A Story by A J Marcus and Caitlin Ricci
When gold fever sweeps the Rocky Mountains and prospectors trespass into forbidden woods, tensions erupt between humans and wolf shifters over borders at Wild Lands Ranch. Unbeknownst to rancher Henry Abbey, a secret pact marks the forest as protected wolf territory, monitored by a young wolf named Justus.
In wolf form, Justus infiltrates the ranch to ensure the shaky peace holds. But when miners blast through trees and stake claims on sacred ancestral lands, violent confrontations ensue between human and shifter.
Howls echo as the wolves’ hidden world collides with Henry's. Justus risks everything to save Henry, forging a unlikely friendship amidst the chaos.
To defeat the ruthless prospectors and repair the fragile covenant, Justus and Henry must bridge the divide between their families—natural enemies who now face a common threat. Success means safety for the wolves and securing the ranch’s borders. Failure could destroy the covenant and change the wild frontier forever.
With their lands and security at stake, man and wolf must make peace before gold greed and frontier justice pit them against one another in all out war.
Protecting 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.
