About This Book
When Roxanne wakes up convinced she's hallucinating the most gorgeous man she's ever seen—one who can apparently turn into a wolf and can't seem to keep his eyes off her—she decides she'd rather stay concussed than face reality. For a woman who spent her whole life feeling overlooked and ordinary, the attention feels too good to be true. For Steele Battle, the wolf shifter sheriff who knows exactly how real their connection is, she's the one person he's supposed to forget. What unfolds between them is a romance built on impossible odds, bruised self-worth, and the kind of longing that doesn't politely go away just because someone tells it to.
St. Clair writes with a warmth and wit that keeps the pages turning fast, balancing genuine emotional tenderness with moments of sharp, self-aware humor. The story is compact and purposeful at under 160 pages—nothing is wasted, and the pacing never sags. Roxanne's voice in particular carries the book: funny, self-deprecating, and quietly real in a way that grounds even the most fantastical elements. Readers who enjoy their paranormal romance with genuine heart rather than just heat will find this one lingers.
