Bite Me Like You Mean It

THEODORA

My name is Thorne, and I've officially sworn off men. So when my estranged husband strolls back into town after abandoning me without so much as a goodbye, I'm fine throwing the whole man away. But then he reveals the truth. Turns out, the idiot didn't leave me because he stopped loving me. Someone is pulling his strings, and that someone sent him back into my town to complete one final job. Calder thinks he can handle this without me. That's adorable. If this power-hungry lunatic wants a fight, I'll give him one. I still want to wring Calder's neck for walking out on me, but I'll be damned if I let anyone else lay a hand on my mate.

CALDER

I've made plenty of mistakes in life. Leaving Thorne was the worst. I told myself it was the only way to keep her safe from the man who forced me to abandon her in the first place. Now that same bastard has sent me back to Eternity Falls for one last heist. I wanted to handle it alone, keep Thorne as far away from danger as possible. But my wife has never been good at walking away from a fight, and insists on helping me. If I can't stop her, then I'll damn well protect her. Because I came home to finish this fight and win back the woman I love. And anyone who stands in my way will learn exactly what happens when you corner a desperate wolf.
