Book excerpt: Serena Baker is just an ordinary woman living an ordinary life. She works as a medical resident, has a little house of her own and a close group of friends. The closest thing she has to a man in her life is the portrait that hangs on her bedroom wall that she talks to when she's on her own. Or at least that's how things used to be, until a chance meeting at a nightclub brings her into contact with Brax Evans, a handsome stranger who just happens to be a werewolf. No man has ever gone to such lengths to impress her. He swears they're meant to be together, but she didn't even know that werewolves exist. Can she really trust him? And will she ever fit in with his world? This is the first book in the Serena's Story trilogy. Book Two - The Returned Mate - and Book Three - The Vampire's Consort - are also available now. Intended for mature (18+) audiences.
