War of Hearts

Defeated, Vik glanced over Thea’s shoulder and watched Conall stroll down the hallway toward them. The sight of the six foot six werewolf caused Vik to almost piss himself. When he’d first met the alpha, Vik had been eager to make friends. Vik liked to have powerful people in his pocket, and Conall was the most powerful alpha he’d ever met.
Vik studied Thea, somewhat astonished.
He guessed now Conall was one of the most powerful alphas he’d ever met.
“Just make my death quick. Please.”
Thea released his neck and stood back. “Here’s the deal, Vik. Some information you provided saved my life, and Conall and I—”
Conall growled.
“Okay, I am”—Thea shot Conall a smirk before turning back to face Vik—“feeling a little benevolent toward you. Do what I want, and Conall won’t kill you.”
“Yet,” her mate grunted.
Wide-eyed Vik nodded. He’d do anything. Anything to stay alive a little longer. There was still so much to learn.
“Good.” Thea took a step toward him, her expression determined. “Because I’m looking for someone, Vik, and you’re going to help me find her.”

Acknowledgments
It has been an absolute joy to delve into the world of adult paranormal romance. For months, Thea and Conall have lived inside my head, running across Europe, kicking ass and falling in love. There were days, however, I needed guidance, especially with the translations. As Scottish as I am, Scottish Gaelic is not my forte so thank you so much to Laura Chapperton and Lisa Moyes for helping me with Pack MacLennan’s clan motto and pronunciation. It is so appreciated! My Scottish wolves sound pretty badass before they shift thanks to you guys.
There are many reasons to thank my Facebook Group Sam’s Clan McBookish, number one being their never-ending support and encouragement. I’m grateful to have members from all over the world in my group, and I have to thank a few of those ladies by name for helping me with translations for this book. For the Hungarian translations, a huge thank you to Zsanett Varga, Kati Kipilla, Biró Andrea, and Durkóné Simándi Rita. You are wonderful! And for the Polish translations Katarzyna Poliksza, Justyna Krzema, Magdalena Szabelska, Marta Walentynowicz, Sandra Witowska, Anna Zadrożna and Kasia Smyk. Thank you for not only translating full sentences, but for helping me with that confusing “what is the plural of zloty for English language speakers?” question, ha!
How lucky am I to have such amazing readers to turn to with research questions? You’re all phenomenal!
For the most part writing is a solitary endeavor, but publishing is not. a massive thank you to my editor Jennifer Sommersby Young for taking a process than can sometimes be excruciating for a writer and making it pretty painless. I love working with you!
