FROST-BITTEN by Lori King
Dr.
Quinn Jameson has secured his future by immersing himself in his
career, but no amount of money in the world can ease his loneliness.
Polar bear shifters aren’t pack creatures, but his soul craves more out
of life. When a feisty, female tiger shifter begs him for help, he’s
unable to resist and finds himself embroiled in a dangerous situation.
Aubrey
Celine is in a bad spot. Pregnant and on the run, she’s out of options
until she wakes up in the hospital under the care of a delicious-looking
Doctor. Can she trust another man after what her ex has put her
through? Or has her heart frozen solid?
In
the midst of an epic blizzard, these two strangers must rely on each
other to stay alive, but every time they’re alone, the heat between them
could melt the ice caps. How far will they go to avoid getting frost
bite?

Excerpt:
“All
set. Your friend is currently searching the neighborhood for his
runaway fiancée; he believes you went AWOL, against medical advice,” he
explained as he started the ignition. “Stay down a little longer if you
don’t want to be spotted.”
Aubrey
did as she was told, hunching down on the buttery-soft bench seat with
only the car’s luxurious interior and one delicious-smelling man to look
at. Trapped in this enclosed space with Dr. Jameson, she became keenly
aware of her body’s attraction to him. Damn hormones.
“It’s normal,” he murmured.
“I’m sorry?”
“The
arousal. It’s normal during pregnancy. Your hormones are a bit
chaotic.” He glanced over at her, and Aubrey felt her face heat up. “I
just didn’t want you to be embarrassed about it.”
“Well, you majorly failed at that, Doc,” she grumbled.
“My
name is Quinn. Considering I just helped you escape a dastardly
villain, I think we should be on first name terms.” Several more minutes
passed before he spoke again.
“We just crossed the river, so you should be okay to sit up now,” he instructed, turning the car off the main road.
“Where are we going?” Aubrey struggled to get her bearings in an unfamiliar part of the city.
“My house.” He looked her way again and shifted the gears flawlessly. “Unless you have another destination in mind?”
“I
didn’t have any destination in mind. I just had to get out. Honestly, I
didn’t even pause to consider the risk of leaving when I saw my
opening. I just ran,” her voice cracked, and she swallowed the lump in
her throat. She had no idea where the out of character streak of
fearlessness had come from. Alex had been threatening her the entire
time he’d held her captive, and until the moment she’d noticed the lock
wasn’t secured, she’d never even seriously considered making an escape
attempt.
“I know who you’re running from, but what I don’t understand is why? What did this guy, Alex, do to you?”
“He kidnapped me.”
