Ravenous, an all-new grumpy + sunshine, cowboy, shifter romance from USA Today bestselling authors Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale is now available!
I didnāt move to Cooper Valley for love. Iām here to raise my daughter in peace, work at Wolf Ranch, and keep my wolf on a tight leash. Because I donāt have time for distractions. Or complications. And definitely not both in the form of a female.
Joy is my new next-door neighborāsweet, sexy, and entirely off-limits. She always has a messy bun and a laugh that melts steel. She makes my little girl giggle like Iāve never seen before. She makes me burn with need.
Sheās sunshine. Iām thunderclouds.
I tell myself Iām too gruff, too brooding, too busy being a father to want her. But my wolf doesnāt care about rules. He thinks she belongs to him. He knows she smells like fateā¦ and tastes even better.
How can I stay away? In the end, it seems fate will decide for me.
āNo way while Iām living next door are you putting yourself in danger like this.ā
I should apologize for being an asshole. She probably could put the tarp over the hole on her own. Nail it down. But she could fall and not heal like a shifter. Except she didnāt know that was why I was so fucking adamant.
āOh yeah?ā There was a challenge in her voice.
I was fucking this thing up. I opened my mouth in hopes the right words would come out, but then I caught sight of the outline of Joyās nipples.
She wasnāt wearing a bra under that barely-there top and it was clear her nipples had stiffened into points.
At what? The sight of me?
Or was it my bossiness that turned her on?
Sheād called me bossy this morning, but the look sheād given me made me think she liked me in charge.
Everything Iād said since I got out of the car was me being bossy and in charge.
Fuck, yeah, honey.
Iāll be the boss of you. Iāll boss you all the way to my bed.
āYeah,ā I countered, then added, āBad girl,ā to test it out. To test her.
She squatted down to sit on the edge of the roof, and kicked her feet like a kid.
She was in flip-flops. Flip flops! On a fucking roof! Cute, but not functional.
āYou gonna spank me?ā
