To Tempt a Wolf

Prologue

Hayley Royden was restless. Tired from the time she’d spent traveling to visit her

sister Bryn, she’d gone to bed early, hoping to crash for the night. A couple of hours

later she woke, punched her pillow and knew there’d be no going back to sleep for a

while. That was one of the problems associated with being a night owl. Going to bed

early rarely worked. That, plus finding herself in an unfamiliar bed, had caused her to

jolt awake.

She went for the book she’d stashed in one of her bags, deciding a little romance

and intrigue would be the very thing. As she crossed the floor, a board creaked

underfoot. She paused and heard a scrabbling noise and some muffled laughter from

down the hall. Apparently Bryn and her fiancé Logan were just making their way to

bed.

Hayley picked up the book, absently staring at the cover as her mind considered

Bryn and Logan. Her smile was wistful as she thought about her own lack of a love life.

Why could she never meet the right guy? She focused on the book and decided it

wouldn’t do. After quietly dressing, she walked down the hall and descended the stairs.

She made her way through the darkened house with the aid of the little flashlight she

always carried on her keychain. The kitchen was just ahead, and if she remembered

correctly, there was a door that led out into the backyard.

As she let herself out, she breathed a sigh of relief and contentment. The night air

was cool and fresh and she felt her spirits lift as she walked away from the house into

the surrounding woods. The moon, a few days away from being full, rode high in the

sky, making it easy for her to see the path that wound through the trees.

Hayley wandered slowly, no destination in mind. She’d always had a good sense of

direction and felt at ease with nature. As she followed the path, she heard the soft

splash of water in the distance.

Spotting the reflective glint of moonlight, she moved forward until she entered a

clearing where a shallow pool of water was fed by a trickling stream. A smile lit her face

as she walked to edge of the pond. Kneeling, she trailed her fingers in the clear water. It

was warm.

She gave the water a speculative look and then checked the surrounding area.

Deciding to go for it, she quickly began to peel out of her clothes and stepped into the

welcoming water.

She didn’t see the pair of eyes that glowed with a bluish-green incandescence as

they watched her lower herself into the pool.

The water was deep enough that she could swim, which she did, taking a few laps

around its circumference. Wearying of that exercise, she flipped over on her back and
