Waking the Wolf: Saving the Wolves in the French Alps (Du Lamond Family Saga, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Doesn't everyone love wolves nowadays?

With looks to die for and a moody temperament, Jean-Luc du Lamond is the Director of the French government's wolf conservation program in the National Park of Mercantour, in the French Alps. His fiancée left him three years earlier for a better job in England, complaining that he spent more time with the wolves than with her. True, he loves his wolves, but she didn't do him justice. Beneath his disgruntlement with womankind, lies a deep and passionate nature.

Sylvie Latour is a twenty-one-year old from Clarksville, Mississippi. A recently qualified veterinarian, she's been sent on a six-month placement to the wolf project in France at the beginning of the European winter. She arrives to find the wolves are under threat from illegal hunting. She has had her own heartbreak and is as wary of romantic involvement as Jean-Luc is.

Right from the start, they rub each other up the wrong way. Repulsed and attracted by each other at the same time, they run the risk of missing out on what could be. This personal antagonism affects their professional relationship, and threatens the success of their mission to protect the wolves. Will they be able to put aside their differences and co-operate to hunt down the poachers, and perhaps learn to like each other along the way?

18 plus – The love scenes, set against a backdrop of cruel winter beauty and man’s inhumanity to the wolves of Mercantour, are an integral part of the love story and serve to enrich the reader’s romantic and sensual experience.

This edition updates the growth in the wolf population in France. When the first edition was published, there were only 250 wolves (canis lupus italicus) in the country. Now in 2022, there are 625 at the latest estimate.
