But just because Cooper accepted the concept of The One didn’t mean he bought into the idea that there were women in the world for him and the other remaining thirteen single members of the Pack. Cooper wasn’t jaded when it came to love, but he wasn’t naive, either.
The two people ahead of Cooper finally got fed up and walked away. He quickly stepped forward and found himself behind the attractive woman who’d smiled earlier. He couldn’t help noticing that she looked exceptionally good in a pair of jeans. Or that her long, silky hair had the most intriguing gold highlights when the light caught it just right. She smelled so delicious he had to fight the urge to bury his nose in her neck. Damn, he must be more tired than he thought. If he wasn’t careful he’d be humping her leg next.
He opened his mouth to say something charming, but all that came out was a yawn big enough to make his jaw crack. The woman in front of him must have heard it too, because she turned around.
“And I thought I’d been waiting in line a long time,” she said, giving him a smile so breathtaking it damn near made his heart stop. “You look like you’re ready to fall asleep on your feet.”
Cooper knew he should reply, but he was so mesmerized by her perfect skin, clear green eyes, and soft lips that he couldn’t do anything but stare. He felt like a teenager back in high school again.
“Um, yeah. Long day,” he finally managed.
What the hell was wrong with him?
Acknowledgments
I hope you had as much fun reading Becker and Jayna’s story as I had writing it! When hubby and I met with Jayna over a dinner of spicy chicken at P.F. Chang’s, we knew we needed to pair her up with a SWAT hunk who was the sensitive type. She had some issues to work through and needed the right alpha werewolf to help her do it. Becker immediately came to mind because he has this boyish quality about him we thought would be perfect for her. And when we found out how many pairs of yoga pants she owns, that sealed the deal. Because we all know how much Becker loves a woman in yoga pants. Luckily, Jayna and Becker fell hard and fast for each other from the moment we introduced them!
In addition to another big thank-you to my hubby, I want to also thank my agent, Bob Mecoy, for believing in me and encouraging me and being there when I need to talk, not to mention always having such great ideas; my editor, Cat Clyne, for loving this series and hot guys in tactical gear as much as I do; and all the other amazing people at Sourcebooks, including my publicist, Amelia, and their crazy-talented art department. I’m still drooling over this cover!
I also want to give a big thank-you to the men, women, and working dogs who protect and serve in police departments everywhere, as well as their families.
And because I could never leave my readers out, a huge thank-you to everyone who has read my books and Snoopy Danced right along with me with every new release. That includes the fantastic girls and guys on my Street Team and my FB Groupies. You rock!
Hope you look forward to reading the other books in the SWAT series as much as I look forward to sharing them with you. Be sure to look for Cooper’s book, To Love a Wolf, coming summer 2016!
Happy Reading!
