“Come on, sweetie. It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.” She scooted closer, her hand just a few inches from its furry muzzle.
The dog growled. Then it snarled. Then it lunged, snapping its jaws around her arm. Sophie yelped, falling back on her ass and clutching her arm as the creature bounded out of its hiding place and leapt over the fence.
“Goddammit, that son of a bitch bit me!” Blood dripped from the gashes, sharp pain stinging down to the bone as a strange tingling sensation shimmied up to her shoulder.
Jane ran to her side and dropped to her knees. “Are you okay? Let me see.” She clutched Sophie’s arm and examined the wound as if her previous issues with blood never existed. “Come inside so we can clean this up.” She tugged her friend to her feet.
Sophie’s shock turned to anger. “I own a fucking dog walking business, and I’ve never been bitten. Never. This is bullshit.” She turned her arm, peering at the mark before looking at Ethan. “Did you see what kind of dog it was? I think it was a German Shepherd. We should call animal control.”
“That was no dog.” Ethan shook his head, his expression grim, though that wasn’t unusual. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he glanced at Jane before focusing on Sophie, pity softening his gaze. “I hate to say this, but you’ve been bitten by a werewolf.”
Will Sophie be able to unlock her magic and become a witch like she wants, or will the bite turn her into a werewolf? Find out in Shift Happens.

About the Author
Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance author who has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice.
Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves good chocolate and bad puns, and in her free time, she likes to read, drink wine, and travel with her family.
