Ms Lemmon's writing is fabulous and engaging." ~The Romance Reviews"[An] example of living in the present and celebrating second, and sometimes third, chances." ~RT Book Reviews "A beautiful story that will have you laughing and crying..." ~My Favorite Things "[A story] of loss, hardship, second chances, and redemption." ~AbigailMumford.com "The interaction between Aiden and Sadie was amazing, you really feel the connection that they share. 5 out of 5 stars!" ~Made for You Book Reviews About the AuthorJessica Lemmon has always been a dreamer. At some point, she decided head-in-the-clouds thinking was childish, went out, and got herself a job . . . and then she got another one because that one was lousy. And when that one stopped being fulfilling, she went out and got another . . . and another. Soon it became apparent she'd only be truly happy doing what she loved. And since "eating potato chips" isn't a viable career, she opted to become a writer. With fire in her heart, she dusted off a book she'd started years prior, finished it, and submitted it. It may have been the worst book ever, but it didn't stop her from writing another one. Now she has several books finished, several more started, and even more marinating in her brain (which currently resides in the clouds, thankyouverymuch), and she couldn't be happier. She firmly believes God gifts us with talents for a purpose, and with His help, you can create the life you want. (While eating potato chips.) Jessica is an ex-meat-eater, writer, artist, dreamer, wife, and den mother to two dogs. Views: 16

Broke, nerdy, and self-confessed wimp Misty Wall leads a ho-hum life as a Grammar Nazi intern, which of course earns her feelings of hate-at-first-sight from her colleagues at Ze Morgue, a.ka. Moretti Inc.'s Administration Department.Misty has always wished for something exciting to spice up her boring-with-a-capital-B existence, but she never thought it would come in the form of a gorgeous six-foot-plus billionaire. The world knows him as Domenico Moretti, the ruthless, cunning, and aloof CEO of Moretti, Inc, a.k.a. her boss.Gifts of (mis)fortune come in threes, they say, and it’s certainly the case with Misty, whose life is turned upside-down by Domenico Moretti’s three shocking revelations.One, he’s a werewolf (who’s also a prince).Two, he wants her in his bed – him, the guy who actually had to file a TRO against an obsessive supermodel.And three, he has a proposition she never – and she means never – ever sees coming.Warning: Contains scenes not suitable for very young readers.From the AuthorThis is a two-part book. The first part, My Werewolf Prince Commands, is a short that has been merged for publication with the rest of The Werewolf Prince and I. It has been an absolutely sizzling pleasure writing Misty and Domenico's story, and I do hope you had as much fun reading it. Note:This is Book 1 of the Moretti Werewolf series.Approximately 60,000 words.From the Inside FlapThey sat next to each other, Domenico relaxed, Misty tense."Are you all right?" he whispered, turning his head slightly to face her.Not daring to look at him, she croaked, "Yes."He did not speak again.The seatbelt sign flashed green ten minutes later.Ralph stepped forward with a smile. "Would you like to---"But Domenico was already reaching for her seatbelt.When he had it unlocked, she said breathlessly, "Thank you.""Thank me properly," he returned huskily, making her eyes widen."H-how?""With a kiss.""D-Domenico!" She blushed when she glanced at Ralph, who now stood ramrod straight with an expressionless face.With an unexpected flash of insight, Misty realized that the other man had actually liked her. With the exception of Domenico Moretti, no other guy had displayed an interest in her so early and quickly after meeting her for the first time. Was this because having someone like Domenico Moretti interested in her made Misty appear more attractive than usual?"Misty," the man next to her growled, and just like that she forgot all about Ralph. Domenico was looking at her with fierce hunger in his green eyes."Kiss me."Slowly, she moved close to him and touched his lips with hers.It seemed the signal he had been waiting for. In one swift move, Domenico lifted her off the seat and pulled Misty into his lap. She gasped against Domenico's lips but he didn't let go. Angling his head to the side, Domenico was able to push his tongue further inside her mouth and with it, he swept aside her remaining reservations. Her arms crept up on his chest before slowly curling around his neck. When he finally let her up to breathe, she looked around in bemusement for a moment. "The pilot?" "Don't think of another man while I'm kissing you," was all Domenico growled before kissing her again, more roughly this time as if he was punishing her. But Misty didn't mind. She was thrilled by his show of possessive jealousy, and her body immediately responded to the command. She moved closer, restlessly trying to find a way they could be one as quickly as possible.She sighed when he flipped her around so that she could lie against his chest, and she sighed again as he nudged her thighs apart.
