Ready to Were (Unabridged‪)‬

I never planned on going back to Hung Island, Georgia. Ever.

I was a top-notch Were agent for the secret paranormal Council and happily living in Chicago, where I had everything I needed - a gym membership, season tickets to the Cubs, and Dwayne - my gay Vampyre best friend. Going back now would mean facing the reason I'd left, and I'd rather chew my own paw off than deal with Hank. Hank the Tank Wilson was the six-foot-three, obnoxious, egotistical, perfect-assed, best-sex-of-my-life Werewolf who cheated on me and broke my heart. At the time I did what any rational woman would do. I left in the middle of the night with a suitcase, big plans, and enough money for a one-way bus ticket to freedom. I vowed to never return. But here I am, trying to wrap my head around what has happened to some missing Weres without wrapping my body around Hank. I hope I don't have to eat my words and my paw.

This novella originally appeared in the Three Southern Beaches collection released in July 2014. This is an extended version of that story.
