Hey, a girl on the move has to take her needs into her own hands, and sometimes my battery-powered boyfriend just isn’t good enough. It was all a good time until one of those handsome bikers that passed my way wanted a bit more than a backroom boink.

Except it turns out, I’m not the ‘wolf’ in this equation at all… and Luke has been searching for me for a while. A Shifter Romance with secrets, mystery, and lots of pulsing muscles.
