About Elkhorn In The Moonlight:
The
search for stolen Sacred Arrows leads to much more.
Marcus Blackhawk is on a
mission to locate the Sacred Arrows that were stolen from the Cheyenne Nation.
When he learns that someone has seen the arrows he leaves immediately to track
the person down and get more information.
Nicole Lancaster ekes out a
living in a small town by helping her brother run a motel and working part-time
in a restaurant. Her mundane life suddenly becomes more exciting when Marcus
arrives in town asking about some arrows that she came upon years ago while
hiking in the Elkhorn Mountains. The gorgeous man makes her heart beat fast,
but she knows he’d never be interested in a Plain Jane like herself.
When Marcus offers Nicole a
large sum of cash to lead him to the cave where she saw the arrows, she takes
him up on the offer. After a three-day hiking trip through the mountains they
locate the cave, but then the unthinkable happens, and they find themselves
trapped inside. As they wait, hopeful they’ll be rescued, they give into the
passion that’s been simmering between them.
Will help arrive in time to
save them? And if so, can their night of passion ever be anything more? Marcus
has no interest in an actual relationship, and Nicole wants the whole nine
yards.

Excerpt:
“You pass it every time you
go into Mason. The other two are on the other side of the overpass. Sandpiper
Mine you can see from the highway, but you have to go on Gulch Mine to get to
the Elkhorn Mountains. The mountain ranges there are the highest, and there are
a lot of vertical drops, so you’d have to travel where you can walk it. It’s
not something where you can climb it and be there. You have to go in a
roundabout way.” “Do you have a very clear vision of where this cave is, and
how to get to it?” he asked. “Yes. I remember it clear as day now.” “How soon
can you get yourself ready for the hike?” “What? I’m not going there. You are.
I can’t just take off and leave, I have work to do. Plus, it’s way too cold to
go there right now. The mountains in that area still have snow on them.” “You
think I would know where to go by the information that you provided?” “I gave
you very good information,” she said. “Do you have the coordinates for GPS?”
“No. I don’t.” “So, you think that I, who have never traveled these mountains
before, would have no problem finding that cave?” Marcus’s eyes narrowed as he
regarded her. “I don’t have any idea how you intend to get there. Personally, I
think you should wait until summer to do it. The weather in the mountains is
unpredictable.” Marcus sat thinking about the situation for a second, and then
he said, “Name your price.” “Huh?” “I said, name your price,” he repeated. “I
need you to lead me to that cave, and I have to do it this week.” “You’re not
listening to me. I can’t take you there. I have work to do here. I can’t leave
to go on a weeklong camping trip.” “You can for a price,” he said grimly. “You
can’t buy me off to get what you want,” Nicole said defensively. “Everyone is
willing to do certain things for a certain price. Will thirty thousand get you
interested and willing to go?” “I…I…thirty thousand? No, I won’t be bought,”
she stammered.
“Look, Nicole. Let’s quit
with the games. I’m going to go there to get those Sacred Arrows, and you are
the one who is going to take me there and bring me back. I’m offering you
thirty thousand for a week…week and a half of work. I think your brother and his
wife can handle the motel for that length of time.” “I’m sorry.” She stopped
for a few seconds. “I won’t be bullied. My answer is no.” She stood up to
leave. “Just think about this. Like I said, thirty thousand for a week and a
half of work. Think what you could do with that money. Think of all the
possibilities and opportunities you’d have. As for the weather, I know you have
lived through worse weather right here in Mason. You know what to expect. I
would not let you go up there without your GPS, your cellphone and satellite
phone, your two-way radio, and letting your brother know exactly where you’re
at should there ever be an emergency. I’ll give you until tomorrow at noon to
tell me your decision, and if I were you, I’d think about this very seriously.
I intend to have my way in this,” he said sternly. Grabbing his maps and the
pictures she gave him, he walked back to the causeway and to his room.
