“Thank you for calling Centerburg Bank and Credit account management. This is Leigh, how may I help you?!” 

For the millionth time since I started this job, I wonder how I got stuck here in my hometown, when all my other high school friends, even my old crush Donovan, managed to go on to do so many more cool things in way better places.

“Hey, Leigh, how was your weekend?” A voice like smoke and velvet flows through the headset that soothes my Lycan ears.

Butterflies and sparks make my cheeks flush.

How is it possible for a Lycan to fall in love with a voice?

Mackenzie thought her life working at the local bank was boring and simple until, suddenly, it wasn’t. 

Can such a simple love survive the return of an old flame, brutal fights with Shifters, and a violent mystery that rocks a small town?

It will be a close call, but for Lycans, you can always press one.

For Lycans, Press One

Roxy steps out of the underbrush, her dark eyes burning as if she was the real supernatural creature here. Like a dark siren, she swoops in from the forest, her black wavy hair is flinging out around her, windswept.


Her black lace-up leather boots stomp into the clearing with authority. She scans all five of us, her lips downturned into a serious, grim frown. I’m taken aback at how confident Roxy interrupts a feud between Shifters and Lycans.


But then my human logic comes to the forefront of my mind: she’s confident because she’s a Lycan Hunter. 


Why else would she be out here in Arbor Woods?


She must be on the Wolf Shifter’s side. Maybe they called her or planned this so that they could herd Ramon here.


I take a step forward and put my long, taloned hand out to protect my hunted friend. A four-on-two is not good odds, especially since Ramon is already wounded.
