Call Me Sassy

    She has bills to pay and her Granny is relying on her, leaving her no time to mourn the past. That includes daydreaming about a certain boy and the promises he made, right before he walked away and didn’t look back. Then, a husky voice on the phone interrupts a boring work shift with a strange request, sending her pulse skyrocketing and toes curling. It’s him. The only boy she ever loved. Drake. He’s all grown up and back in town, making new promises that he’ll never leave her side. But this sassy woman isn’t planning on acting like a fool for love again. If he wants her trust, then he’s going to have to work for it. That doesn’t mean they can’t have a little fun while they’re working things out.

A sultry voice, a threat, and a surprise encounter leave him with his head spinning and fighting for a second chance with the one woman that he never stopped loving. He had his reasons for leaving her, but between wrestling his wolf for self control and his own doubts, he’s struggling to remember them at all.   But the past doesn’t want to be forgotten. For the pair to have a second chance at love, a lie must be uncovered and a threat eliminated. Or someone might get hurt … again.
