Especially when he insists he needs to remain in her life to ensure she’s protected.From what? Her gossipy neighbors?Oh, and let’s not forget all the strange occurrences that are getting harder and harder to explain away.First, there’s a wolf in her house. A real, live, massive wolf. Then the house is attacked and nearly destroyed by some unknown—and unseen—enemy, and, get this, the wolf saves her. Then the bartender tells her he’s a wolf too. It’s like something out of her favorite shifter romance novel—except she’s living it!And then there’s the icing on the cake: Mikail, the bartender-slash-wolf, tells her she’s a faery princess.Maybe this week isn’t so bad after all.If you overlook the reason he kept her identity a secret: the enemies she didn’t know she had want to kill her, and now that she’s been outed.Her bad week is about to get a whole lot worse. less
