About the Author

Chapter 1

If there was one thing that really annoyed Hanna Bridgeman—and as a red wolf, she could get really growly about it—it was when she asked a cute guy out to have a drink and he was late. She was all by herself, didn’t know anybody in Green Valley, Colorado, and she was nervous about going for a job interview there tomorrow, so she was hoping for some company, or at least a distraction, not to be stood up.

Maybe he just hadn’t had the nerve to tell her no. She’d recently lost her job at the local paper in Loveland, Colorado, and had just arrived in Green Valley when she had met the guy at a service station, pumping gas for his truck, and asked him where a good place would be to go for a drink. She’d needed one, and her hotel didn’t have a restaurant, unfortunately.

He was human and had told her about this pub, so she’d asked if he would like to join her there at six and here she was. But the guy wasn’t, and it was already six thirty. Traffic jams holding him up? Not likely in Green Valley. Hanna wasn’t even sure whether she wanted to live here, but she needed work, and being a news reporter was her job. Rather…had been her job. If she hadn’t asked the police chief in Loveland some embarrassing questions, she would still have her job.

She sighed. She could be a bit of a rogue wolf when she wanted to do real investigative reporting instead of writing fluff stories all the time.

At least the pub had some fun decorations: a stack of three jack-o’-lanterns on the bar, lighted pumpkins on each of the tables, orange and black lights hanging on the walls, and a sign that had a wood carving of Dracula with the words Dracula’s Pub beneath it. The bartender was dressed like a pirate with a patch over his eye, and the servers were wearing a variety of costumes ranging from a sexy cat to Superwoman.

Hanna glanced out the window again. The colorful fall leaves were beautiful. Oranges, purples, reds, yellows, and a few evergreens and Colorado spruce trees really set things off. Crisp, cooler night temperatures were great for wolf fur coats and sweaters and jackets. She loved the fall. It was her favorite time of year.

She eyed the parking lot. No blue pickup truck. Lots of motorcyclists were showing up, though.

Then a guy caught her eye as he got out of a shiny, red Corvette. The car was cute. So was he. Or…sexy, rather. Except he had a military haircut. And she’d vowed to stay away from military guys. Two disastrous relationships had been enough for her. This guy was blond and green-eyed, tall and muscular with no fat, not a bodybuilder type but more the kind who could use his muscle when he needed to in a real combat situation.

When he came inside the pub, he glanced in her direction, and she quickly looked away. She wasn’t here to pick up some other guy. Not that he acted like he was looking to hook up either. She motioned to the pirate waitress, who was busy visiting with some bikers sitting a few tables away. When the waitress came over, Hanna ordered a glass of chardonnay and a hamburger. She figured she might as well enjoy her dinner even if her date wasn’t going to show up. Then
