About this book

When Jessica Ward's carefully constructed professional life brings her face-to-face with Bobby Ray Smith—the devastatingly sexy wolf shifter who made her teenage heart ache—she figures a little rekindling of that old chemistry is harmless fun. But Smitty sees something deeper in the polished CEO who's come so far from the insecure girl he once knew, and he's determined to prove that what they have goes way beyond scorching chemistry. As danger closes in around Jess's Pack, this charming bad boy refuses to leave her side, even as she tries her hardest to keep him at arm's length. Get ready for a swoony romance that perfectly balances laugh-out-loud banter with genuine heart and sizzling tension.
