Go camping, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Relaxing on Lake Travis, drinking beer, and stuffing my face with smores, was what I was hoping for. You know what they say about the best laid plans. I've caught the eye of four sexy men, though, I think they might be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. They are spewing all kinds of crazy about being werewolves and how I'm one of them. Maybe they aren't the only insane ones. Between that and the unexplainable things happening when I'm around them, I think it's safe to say sanity has left the building. Now, Cayden, Barrett, Liam, and Wyatt are taking me on what was supposed to be a road trip to figure out my past. Problem is, theirs isn't the only eye I've caught.

Bridget Mathers could swear her love life ran slower than the wi-fi connection in her dentist’s office, and that in and of itself was already an impressive feat. But she didn’t mind. Patience, she had trained her mind to remember. God had his plans, and God had his time. Even so, sometimes she still couldn’t suppress the twinge of disappointment she felt over the emptiness of her apartment when she headed home at night. At least, until Theo Noyes came around. Theo came around and left Bridget hoping because hoping was all she could really afford to do as an employee of his dentist. Torn between pursuing her first chance at love, and the strictly bound regulations against dating in the office, Bridget only dares hope. The two take their chances anyways, but an unexpected accident has them both holding on, not just to each other, but also their relationship with God.
