Mine! The thought startled her where the hell had that come from?? She had to get a hold of herself. She could feel the warm pooling in her panties. He flashed a knowing smile at her causing all her insides to melt further if that was even possible. As he moved closer towards her she held her breath which made him smile wider. He got so close that she could feel the heat from his body, taking in a deep breath in an attempt to clear her head, only to cause it to cloud even more with lust from the scent of timber and all man. Finally getting a hold of herself, moving back around her desk away from him she asked again "What can I help you with Mr. Mainwaring?" His brow furrowed and he said to her "Call me Michael, my father is Mr. Mainwaring. I came to tell you that we are having an impromptu staff meeting to introduce you formally to the entire staff in 15 minutes in the large conference room." As he turned to leave he said over his shoulder "I love the smell of your office and the view is spectacular." She let out a loud sigh as she slouched into her chair. Sasha her assistant poked her head into the doorway asking if she needed anything. Lyric looked at her shaking her head, "Do you have anything that will help keep my libido in check?" Sasha laughed saying "Sure, if I had that do you think I would still be working for someone else?" Lyric regarded her calmly; she had gotten to know both her and Sara over the last couple weeks and really like both women. She knew that they were both she wolves also. The only thing she hadn't had the nerve to ask was if they were all from the same pack. She was guessing they were but no one had brought up joining as of yet. She knew that it would come because that was how things worked in a pack. However she was from a small town and was in a large city and wasn't so sure that it worked the same.

Minus the few grammatical errors, it was a great story. As my first book about werewolves I was not sure how much I would like it. I loved it! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a strong heroine and hero with the extra kick of fantasy. The story is so good minor mistakes go almost unnoticed. This is a great story if you like connecting to the characters and discovering their secrets a little at a time.
This excerpt delivers strong chemistry and tension right from the start. The attraction between Lyric and Michael is intense and immediate, pulling the reader into her internal struggle to stay composed. The writing captures emotion vividly, especially Lyric’s battle between professionalism and desire. The added hint of a werewolf “pack” dynamic adds an intriguing paranormal layer that makes the story stand out from a typical office romance. I’m especially curious to see how the workplace hierarchy and pack relationships intertwine. Overall, it’s passionate, engaging, and full of potential. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy steamy paranormal romance with strong female leads.
Your book was mind-blowing as it was recommended by one of the suscribers at JC bookclub. Looking forward to read more of your books keep the energy up Dm Simpson.
This was a new author's first attempt at writing a book, and it came together surprisingly well. The character's develop well and the story was intriguing enough to keep my interest. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series to see where the story leads next and watching this author grow as an author.
I encourage anyone who enjoys reading romance and/or fantasy to check it out.
