A city girl meets a country boy. She’s drawn to his dominance, and he’s just the Alpha wolf to teach her to ride… Successful business woman and former bakery owner, Cassie has sold out and moved to her own slice of heaven—a working ranch, just outside of Big Wolf, Texas, complete with cowboys. She doesn’t know much about ranch life, but she’s a willing student, especially when the new ranch hand catches her eye. Cody was sent to Cassie’s ranch to investigate some strange goings on. He’s the envoy of the Big Wolf Alpha, and a restless werewolf who does odd jobs for the Pack to keep himself busy. He’s enchanted by Cassie and seducing her soon becomes his top priority. He charms his way into her life, but she’s a total innocent when it comes to the magical world around her. Will she be able to accept everything about Cody and welcome him into her life? And, when hunters show their ugly faces—and their even uglier poison-filled weapons—will she blame him for bringing danger to her door? * Please Note: This novella was originally published as a short, contemporary story in 2008, and has been out of print for several years. It has been greatly expanded and rewritten to exist in the Big Wolf world.
