Fox Mate (Madison Wolves)

Don't blame me for it. Blame Demi Moore.
It took me, the author, longer to come to grips with this custom than it took Michaela.
For those who ask: yes, Michaela and Lara have more stories. I have to promise myself not to think about Fox Afield right now, which will begin where this novel was supposed to begin: the day after the wedding, the honeymoon. I need sleep. And I have a day job to attend to.
To my readers: Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Credits
I would like to thank my beta readers: Donna, Henriette, Jodie, and Stacy. This would not be the book it is without their help. Any continuing errors are my own fault.
Special thanks to Henriette for her amazing advice and support over the last several weeks.
Thank you also to Michaela's and Lara's fans, those who have supported their story or written kind words of encouragement. I couldn't do this without all of you.
