~Embracing the Wolf~ 
Blurb:
Werewolves come in two categories, good and evil. Although Richard Ritter's family has encouraged him to make the change for years, he never considered embracing his wolf until he meets Kate Davis. One night with her however, and his life changes forever.
After a horrifying evening of violence, Kate Davis's life is turned upside down. Richard offers more than security; he offers her passion, something she hasn’t experienced in years. Falling in love with him was easy, but once she learns what he becomes every month her fear of the unknown threatens their future.

2nd Excerpt:
With no parking space in sight, Kate parked along the side street in the dirt. Joey lugged his backpack over his arm and followed her toward the entrance of the school.
“We’re going to sleep there again tonight, right?”
“I think so.” Kate pivoted, certain someone called her name. A parent she didn’t recognize walked a few feet away, but diverted her eyes when Kate searched hers. Not seeing anyone she knew, she continued walking.
“I hope so,” Joey said.
Her hands chilled, the hair on her nape stood on end. A few more feet, and Kate stopped moving. The heavy weight of someone’s stare kept her from taking another step. Wary, she turned around in a full circle.
Someone was watching her.
Parents passed her by, moving around her as if she were a big rock in a small stream.
Her spine stiffened.
“Come on, mom.” Joey tugged her arm.
“Wait a minute.” I’m being paranoid.
“I’m going to be late.”
Kate started forward again. When her phone rang in her purse, she jumped. She retrieved her phone and glanced at the digital display. She didn’t recognize the number.
She pressed talk and slowly brought the phone to her ear. “Hello?”
Static and wind brushed against her ear with the hum of the line.
Nothing.
“Hello?” she asked again, trying to keep her panic at bay.
The school bell buzzed, the sound echoed in her phone as if in stereo. Whoever the caller was, they were somewhere on campus.
Panic gripped her throat, threatening to choke it off. She closed the phone and threw it in her purse. “Come on.” She pulled Joey away from the school, back toward her car.
“What are we doing?” Joey’s little legs ran to keep up with her, his eyes suddenly large and flooded with fear and confusion.
“We need to go.”
“What about school?”
The kids ran in the opposite direction, all of them scrambling to make it inside before the doors shut.
Kate ran to her car with Joey’s hand secured in hers.
“What’s the matter, Mommy?”
“We’re going to sleep there again tonight, right?”
