Once Upon a Caveman

Lucy Meadowcroft’s life hasn’t turned out the way she planned. Her hometown always thought she’d go out and change the world. Instead, fifteen years out of high school, Lucy’s working in a bookstore and her social life consists of sex dreams about a caveman named Rhawn. Granted, they’re pretty awesome dreams, but it’s not like the guy is real, right? He’s smart and gorgeous and totally a figment of her frustrated imagination. All in all, things could be going a lot better for her. When Lucy reluctantly agrees to go on the Woodward High Reunion Cruise, she’s feeling pretty miserable about her place in the world.

…And that’s before the shipwreck.

Now Lucy’s somehow marooned in the Ice Age. She’s stranded on an island filled with guys in loincloths who think she’s “the Destroyer,” an evil goddess sent to sink their homeland into the sea. This is *so* not what the alumni committee promised in the cruise brochure. The wooly mammoths and sabretooth tigers running around tell Lucy that she’s a castaway in some other world. And in the middle of this prehistoric insanity, Lucy finds herself face-to-face with the caveman from her dreams.

Rhawn the Accursed is reviled within the Clan. Every night, he dreams of Earth, the land of the gods, and of the Destroyer, the deity destined to end the world. Rhawn realizes that Lucy must be the wicked goddess, but he also senses that this woman is meant to be his mate. There is good in her. He knows it. All he has to do is persuade the rest of the Clan not to kill her, show Lucy that they were fated to find one another, devise a way to escape the island, and survive Lucy’s annoying classmates, who’ve washed ashore with her. It shouldn’t be that hard.

After all, they have a few days left before the volcano erupts.
