Bayou Loup — Lynn Lorenz

After spending a hot, no-holds-barred sex-filled weekend at a hotel with a man he only knows as Mark, werewolf Bobby Cotteau isn't sure but he thinks he's found a new mate. Problem is he never got his lover's real name. Or his phone number, or even where he lives. But that's not Bobby's only problem.

Mark is Professor Mark Bradford, and he's spent his career as a zoologist trying to prove there are wolves living in the swamps around St. Jerome. If he can do this, he'll make a name for himself, restore his reputation and maybe even name them after his father, who was killed by a wolf during a camping trip in the swamp with a teenaged Mark. After a weekend of the best sex of his life, Mark's fallen hard for Bobby, but without the man's real name, he has no hopes of ever seeing him again. And the longer they're apart, the more desperate he is to find Bobby. It's like he's under some kind of spell.

Meanwhile, at the Rougaroux Social Club's yearly Rugarou Festival, which Bobby is in charge of, everything is falling apart. The forecast is for storms, the Virgin Mary has appeared in a tree on the festival grounds at the church, pilgrims are swarming, and beer is being sold...and his new mate is about to expose Bobby's pack to the world.
