    About this ebook

    A cold, a baby, and a talking horse…

    Stevie March just wanted to kick back, relax, and maybe dip her toes in someone else's pool for a while. When she saw the ad on the Witch's List to pet sit someone's beloved four-legged friend, she jumped at the chance and hauled ass to West Virginia.

    The beastie in question turned out to be far bigger than any canine companion she'd ever seen—something that should be kept in a stable rather than a dog house—but convincing Mr. Not-Ed to stay outside is a task beyond her abilities. Especially once she realizes she's picked up a nasty cold, and she starts sneezing spells. Then the baby shows up, but the Shifter Whisperer—the only one who might be able to fix at least some of her problems—is out of town.

    What's a girl to do, saddled with an equine whiner and a bawling thumb sucker?

    Only her nightly visits from Aspen, her hunky new neighbor, are keeping her sane. Sure, the horse is nowhere to be found once the sun sets, but that's probably okay, right?

    Right?

    Virginia Nelson likes knights in rusted and dinged up armor, heroes that snarl instead of croon, and heroines who can't remember to say the right thing even with an author writing their dialogue. Her books are full of snark, sex, and random acts of ineptitude--not always in that order.

      Chapter One

      Aquick search online revealed West Virginia to be a land of majestic mountains, crisp cool springs, and wild animals like something off a nature show on television. A deer grazing near a rocky stream was alongside an image of a sunshine speckled forest bedecked in autumnal colors. Log cabins dotted the landscape, practically begging visitors to invest in fuzzy socks, bulky sweaters and leather boots.

      Just thinking of the boots had Stevie March opening a second tab on her browser to one click a pair. While she was shopping—when wasn’t she shopping?—she invested in the socks, a few sweaters, and an adorable pair of leggings to finish the outfit off. The view out her window didn’t call for any of the items, but she was sick of Texas heat and grit. Sick of hiding inside with the AC running when she could be outside breathing in the clean air of a forest. Maybe she’d never visited a place like West Virginia before, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t where she belonged.

      Of course, she didn’t know who sent her the email about how wonderful West Virginia was, but that part didn’t matter so much as her bone deep need to visit.

      Her mother would say that she had a bone deep need for lots of things, suggesting that perhaps her actions were impulsive, but her mother wasn’t there. Serving time in the magical pokie meant good old mom
