“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

The next morning, my eyelids feel like they’re velcroed together even though I washed off my makeup last night. If there was ever a day I didn’t want to go to work, it’d be today. But I already took an unannounced half-day this week, and today is Friday.


Plus, maybe I could use the distraction.


My heart beats sticky like black tar in my chest. It’s going to take me a long time to figure out how to feel about Roxy not being a Lycan Hunter, despite all the signs. The thought of living in the same building as someone who wants nothing more than to hurt me made me so on edge that I lost my grip. 


Though it’s funny that now I can relax, I feel even more anxious.


Ramon and Alyssa got attacked last night in his own bar full of people! That’s less believable than some Lycan Hunter trying to coax their way into my apartment or pry my window open in the middle of the night.


Maybe I should buy better window locks. 


Ugh no. Mack, get it together and think about something else.
