A Wolf's Embrace — Sarah J. Stone

Melissa:
“Kate, my friend, still puts flowers on the grave of parents who betrayed her. One day, Monica and I join her. Before we even enter the cemetery, I notice quite a few people arriving, some only kids. It's a memorial service for a young woman; her husband, grieving his loss, is unlike any other human. One year since she died, and he's not afraid of showing his heartfelt emotions. I keep wondering â€" can I find someone like him?

Joe:
It's been a year since I lost you, my Laura. Twelve months since the accident took you from me. I have found other distractions in life. But I still miss you: your loving arms; your soothing voice; your smile; your kiss... everything about you. My pain led to a stupid decision. Now, salvation has knocked â€" in the form of a gorgeous passionate blonde â€" but I can't accept the risk.
