Blurb
Selene runs across the country to escape an abusive ex, straight into the arms of two fascinating men. She understands immediately there is something very different about the town of Moonrise. It isn’t long before her lovers show her exactly what that difference is—she’s stumbled upon a town full of shifters.
Her two wolves help her begin to heal and vow to protect her from the man responsible for her mental and physical scars. Slowly, she lets herself relax.
But deep inside, she knows the peace won’t last.
Her ex is full of evil, and men like that never go away.
But to the wolves in love with her, the word “never” doesn’t exist.
Menage, male/male sexual interaction, anal play, violence
Chapter 1
“What’s your name, honey?”
“Selene.”
The waitress tapped on the counter with long, red nails and stared her down. “Got a last name, sweetie?”
Selene chewed the inside of her lip and wished for the millionth time that she looked too mean for anyone to want to start a conversation with. But this redheaded waitress was practically oozing curiosity, and if she was to have a hope of getting this job, Selene was going to have to play the game. She threw the waitress the unfamiliar though practiced fake surname. “Morris.”
“Selene is a pretty name. Whatcha doin’ in this tiny old town, Selene Morris?”
“Looking for a job.”
Her thin red brows were nearly lost in her hair. “Really? You came all the way to Moonrise, Ohio for a job? Honey, this is not the place to look for a life. You should go to—”
“Lora.”
Selene jumped with a reflexive start she was sure would never leave her at the sudden new voice, quiet though it was. The new woman was a tall, austere lady with hair pulled back so tightly it looked painful.
The redheaded waitress straightened and sent the older woman a salute. “Just keeping her company until you got here, Mrs. G.” She sent a bright, toothy smile Selene’s way and left the two of them alone.
“Follow me,” the woman said. No hello, no handshake, nothing.
Selene clasped her hands tightly around her handbag and trailed behind the boss, her stomach tight. Since she’d arrived in town two days ago she hadn’t met a friendly person. Oh, Lora pretended to be friendly with her toothy grins and jolly voice, but Selene had lived with a brutal man for close to half her life. She wasn’t fooled.
The older woman pushed open her office door and motioned Selene inside, her face blank, her eyes shuttered. “Sit down.”
Selene eyed the office while the owner of the cozy bar and grill settled behind her desk and began to shuffle papers. The office was neat as the house Selene had run away from and about as cold as a finger that had been chopped off and stuck in a deep freeze for a few years.
“Name?”
Selene jumped. “Selene. Selene Morris.”
“Why are you here, Ms. Morris?”
Selene kept her face carefully blank. Why did everyone keep asking her that? She tried for a casual shrug. “I’m looking for a new start.” Partly true.
“How did you hear about us?”
Sensitive after years of reading the slightest look, Selene knew the woman wasn’t asking
