Quotes

• “Although Hemming, who made for a handsome wolf with his black and gold markings on creamy white, lurched in her direction - possibly operating under some latent need to protect.” (Imprudence, Chapter One)
• "Hemming was entirely the opposite of his Alpha, a large, bumbling, salt-of-the-earth breed of a chap. Big, blond, and rangy but with almost delicate features. The others referred to him, when Hemming wasn't listening, as sensitive . He had wistful, watery blue eyes - which were currently wide and panicked - and subtle but thick sideburns. He was the kind of a man to be depicted in art as mucking out stalls and pitching hay. He likely had been, since he'd once modeled for various well-known painters who specialized in rural depictions of manor houses and handsome farmers and ducks and the like." (Romancing the Werewolf, Chapter Three)
• "He appeared to be something on the order of a country bumpkin, built to till fields and strip his jacket off under the hot sun. His open, friendly countenance resulted in everyone who met him liking him immediately." (How to Marry A Werewolf, Chapter Seven)
