I’m such an idiot. I thought Maverick was serious when he whispered sweet nothings in my ear. He talked me right out of my pants and straight into his bed. And when I woke up the next morning, he was gone. Lesson learned. No more listening or speaking to Maverick—regardless of whether he’s the owner of the wildlife refuge where I work.

I may be back in my hometown and down on my luck, but I know better than to fall for Lyric again. Been there. Done that. Have the heartbreak to show for it. When my business and apartment burn down, there’s only one thing I can do—return to my hometown of Winter Falls with my tail tucked between my legs. I won’t be here long, though.
