Jack has never really paid much attention to the timid Cat Shifter who started working in his company a few weeks ago. She's a slight thing, wearing so many layers that he wonders if there is something wrong with the heating system in the Marketing Department. Her reunion with an old ex piques his curiosity but his interest turns into something else entirely when he sees the way she reacts to the predator much bigger than she is. He wants her. Wendy's experience has taught her to be cautious when pursued by men who are older and more powerful than she is. Jack isn't just her CEO, he's an Alpha Werewolf. His instinct should be to dominate and possess, to overpower and claim her. Instead, she finds that he is inconceivably gentle and patient with her. She thinks he is prepared to wait an eternity if she asks him to. But when her abusive ex makes a reappearance, showing none of his patience and grace, she finds that he does not have the endless patience she thought he did.
