he’s gonna have are whatever ill-gotten gains he’s squirreled away. And, you know what? When you go, you can’t take it with you.”
“Wise words, wolf,” Jackie said. She helped Ashley lie back onto the exam table.
“He’s so smart, and I get to go home with him,” Ashley said. “Aren’t I lucky?”
“I’d say,” Jackie said, and switched on the machine.
Vic knew better. She had an obstinate, hardheaded wolf for a mate. If anyone were lucky, it was he. Fortunately, they had a lot of years ahead for him to prove it to her, and if it took paying off a bribe to make those years far easier than their rough start had been—so be it.
She was worth it.

ABOUT HOLLEY TRENT
Holley Trent is a Carolina girl gone west. Raised in rural coastal North Carolina, she’s a lady with Southern sensibilities, but in 2011 her adventurous spirit drove her to Colorado for new experiences.
She writes contemporary and paranormal romances ranging from sensual to erotic that are usually set in her home state. Her humor is sometimes subtle, often ribald, and regularly inappropriate. If any of her stories seem overly serious at first glance–keep reading.
She’s a winner of the inaugural CIM-RWA Abalone Award (for My Nora ) and a three-time Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence finalist ( My Nora , Calculated Exposure , and A Demon in Waiting ). A Demon in Waiting was a RomCon Readers’ Crown finalist in 2014. Her Den of Sin novella Winterball was a 2015 Passionate Plume award winner.
