Anthropology professor Roark Wallace can’t risk news being made of a Bigfoot sighting in the north woods—not with a local pack of werewolves to protect. Disproving the evidence should be easy, but ignoring Abby is not. Her fiery red hair makes him want to sit up and beg, and this obvious attraction is making the pack suspicious… Sizzling as well as howlingly funny! Previous Picks
