Inside this set is my novella, A WOLF'S TOUCH. I'm really excited about this. Creating a world that includes werewolves and the occasional vampire was fun, challenging and tricky. I hope to turn this into a series. Continue reading for a sneak peek!
“So, tell
me. What had you so upset you ran from my office?” Ethan cocked one nicely
shaped thick brow.
Of course
he would start off with that. Subtlety
was certainly not one of Dr. Brown’s fortes. “I came to see you because you
teach Myth and Culture. I have an unusual question to ask.”
He leaned
forward, his deep brown eyes riveted on hers. “Well, ask away. How unusual can
it be?”
“Humph.”
She shook her head fast, regretting it as the bones in her neck cracked. “You
have no idea.”
“Of
course I don’t, unless you tell me.”
“Okay.”
She leaned forward, lowered her voice several octaves. “Do you believe in
werewolves?” There, she said it. Then she sat back as all the air expelled from
her lungs. If he thought her crazy, so be it.
He leaned
back in his chair, crossed his arms, and stared at her with a blank face.

The seconds ticked by like hours, so she cleared her throat and repeated her
question.
“I heard
you the first time,” he replied.
“Oh, and
you just thought you’d ignore me. Do you enjoy making people feel like fools?”
“Sorry.”
He shook his head. “Not my intention. You caught me off guard that’s all.”
Her
temper sizzled. She fought to control it. “I’m still waiting for your
answer.”
He
laughed, a deep chuckle which only angered her more. She got up, almost
knocking the chair over in her haste. Frustration gnawed at her.
“Sit.”
Who did
he think he was, ordering her around?
