Dispatched ahead in preparation for the Alpha pair’s trip to Willow Bend, he has no problem entertaining the sexy wolf he encounters in the airport. The last thing the playboy wolf expects, however, is to find in Murphy the most captivating chase of his life... *** Originally released as part of the All Romance Wicked series, the book was returned to me following the closure and dissolution of All Romance on December 29, 2016.

As a novella it takes place roughly between the events of River Wolf and Desert Wolf, but you can absolutely read it as a standalone.

She is at her wit's end when the dashing Lord Fitzherbert Frost, the current Earl of Houghton, appears as if by magic and comes to her rescue, saving her from yet another fortune hunter. Now paired with Lord Frost during a rather absurd treasure hunt through the manor house, Amelia must decide if she is willing to trade one night in the earl's bed for a lifetime of ruination.
