Title: Spirit Bear Conspiracy
Series: Brotherhood of the Wild, book #1
Author: Anne Kane
Genre: MC Romantic Suspense

My mission: Save my woman, guard the secret of the rare spirit bear, and take down the poachers.

Ryland — I was tailing a gang of poachers, certain they’d lead me straight to their kingpin, when a stray arrow from a crossbow slammed into me. Pain lanced through me and everything faded to black. In that blur of unconsciousness, I could have sworn a pure white bear stood over me, calm as can be. When I opened my eyes again, a woman — curvy and impossibly beautiful — was watching me with the cutest look of mixed concern and distrust on her face.

Kimberly — I thought I was alone on a tiny island off the coast of British Columbia until an arrow from a crossbow barely missed skewering me. With my dog Diego at my heels, I ran to hide in a maze of caves, my heart pounding. Crouched down in the dark, I listened in terror as voices and footsteps floated to me from outside. I prayed the shooters wouldn’t find the spirit bear that inhabited this place. When I finally crept back out into the daylight, I found I wasn’t the only target — but the unconscious man lying in a pool of his own blood wasn’t talking. Victim or one of them?

WARNING: This Riptide action-adventure romance includes violence, abuse, coarse language, vigilante justice, and adult situations. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Enjoy!

What readers are saying:

“5 out of 5 stars. Diego Rules Poachers Drool! Loved the start of The Brotherhood series !! It has loose ties to the Author’s other series called Riptide MC! The characters Kimberly and Ryland are well-written and a lot of fun to read. The storyline has real-world implications in the animal poaching and for animals living in shelters, so please be careful if such stories cause you any emotional distress. The book has a lot of action both in and out of the “bedroom”. I can’t wait to read book 2. 5’s for an action-packed read !” –Dianna Rule, TX

I heard sounds to my left, louder this time. Definitely voices.

Well, that sucked. After a stressful week at work, the last thing I wanted to do was talk to strangers. Still, protocol demanded that I make my presence known for safety’s sake. No point in having some trigger-happy guide catch a glimpse of movement and decide I was something worth shooting at.

I stopped walking and cupped my hands to my mouth. “Hello?”

Total silence answered me. Even the birds stopped chirping. Not a single blade of grass rustled.

Maybe the dumb tourists had gone off in another direction and didn’t hear me. Sound could become muffled in the heavily treed rainforest environment. My heart lifted as I considered the possibility.

Maybe my day wasn’t ruined after all.

Diego came dashing back to my side, head held high and ears tilted forward in that oddly off-balance way he had when he concentrated. I frowned. The dog obviously heard or saw something that he felt needed watching. I opened my mouth to holler again, when something swished past my head so fast all I saw was a blur. A loud thunk told me the object had hit one of the trees behind me.

I turned and blinked, unable at first to grasp the significance of what I was looking at.

An arrow, the kind used for hunting bigger game such as deer or moose, was imbedded in one of the ancient trees. The plastic vanes on the end of the shaft quivered with the force of the impact.

Someone had taken a shot at me. Seriously? There was no way they could have mistaken my shouted greeting for an animal.

Diego whined softly, nudging my hand with his muzzle. I patted his head absently, still mesmerized by the sight of the arrow rooted in the tree.

Diego stiffened, whirling to face the direction the arrow had come from. A low growl came from his throat.

A shiver slid down my spine. Diego didn’t growl. Not at anybody. He was the mellowest dog on the face of the planet. If he thought whoever shot that arrow warranted a growl, then they must be bad. Real bad.
