Part of the Lunewolf series

Sandy Parks accepts her widow status in the pack. Her daughter's success and status as queen bitch give Sandy the status she needs to lead a good life. Only one thing is missing—the touch of a werewolf, the companionship of a mate. Ralph Hipp is tired of simply protecting Sandy from a distance. Too many strays chance upon her, hoping for a nibble from the youthful-looking widow. It's time to make his move, show her this old werewolf still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Together they prove life and love can be hotter second time around.
