For miles on end, there was nothing but trees and mountains, capped by a sapphire blue sky that went on forever. “This is some place you have here,” I said, turning back to our hosts. “I like to think so,” Andrea said, smiling. “But as much renovation as we’ve done, I still can’t get past that vi...
I didn’t want there to be an opportunity for a lot of discussion between employees before I arrived. “I’d like to apply for a job, ma’am.” I knew that if I really turned on the charm, she might let me in even without an official interview. “Do you have an appointment, Mr.…...
He had driven from Georgia overnight and was banging hard. “Hold on.” I pulled on the handle, worried he’d break down Francesca’s door. “Can’t believe this.” He slapped me on the back as he walked inside. “Me either.” I grinn...
It didn’t take a genius to figure out why the town was such a shifter haven. The swamp near Silas’s house mixed with the small-town charm seemed as though it would appeal to both sides of a shifter—the human and the animal.

“That was the best sleep I think I have ever had,” she said looking at Nash. “Did you stay with me? This whole time?” She couldn’t help but admit to herself that she hoped that he would stay. She felt safer when he was around, more protected. “You w...
Olivia, it's Lucy.” There was another knock at the door. Olivia untangled herself from Sam's arms and grabbed her robe as she shuffled over to the door. What time was it? She felt her stomach rumbling; clearly they had missed breakfast. She'd been busy with other things, m...
She moved over to him, resting her head comfortably on his shoulder as she took a look at his find. "Oh, those are wonderful." The dark purple sheets were the perfect shade to match the silver and black duvet they already had in the cart. Part of her still couldn't accept ...
The bedside clock read just after two am. Dear Jesus, tonight had been hellacious. She went straight for the mini-fridge and grabbed a water, downing half of it at once. She’d prefer something stronger, but there wasn’t anything open at this time of night. The police had taken two hours, and now ...
