"You don’t happen to know any male attorneys who could help me out, do you?" Alicia asked wistfully

"She knows her role in our society Protect the wolf kind She won’t do anything to get you into any kind of trouble"

At least not more than Alicia was already Wait until Sherry Slate learned Alicia was pregnant with Jake’s triplets!

As soon as Jake called Sherry, she cleared her schedule for the afternoon, but when he told her what it was about, he could tell she was ready to rethink her afternoon plans

"She needs your help," Jake said, pleading Hell, Sherry was a professional He wanted to tell her to act like it "Unless you know another lawyer in the Denver area that ht be able to help her" Like one of Sherry’s partners, if any olf types and had the ti He iive up difficult cases

"I’ll speak with her" Sherry’s tone was clipped

When they arrived at the office, Jake assu well The luxurious seating was on leather couches and chairs, much more ostentatious than at the law offices in Silver Town A pretty receptionist sat at the counter, with blond hair in curls down to her shoulders and bright green eyes She smiled at Jake and Tom, raised her brow at Peter, undoubtedly because he earing his uniforlance in Alicia’s direction

The first thing Jake noticed about her was her feminine wolf smell Plus a number of wolf scents had been left in the reception area Just the place Alicia needed to be, a their own kind where they would protect her hatever they could

"You’re here to see Ms Slate? She’ll be out in just a moment If you’d like to take a seat…" The receptionist motioned to the chairs

He was amused the receptionist didn’t tell Sherry that he would seek another lawyer in her place if she didn’t get her butt in gear

"I’ll be there," Sherry snapped over the phone

Jake was afraid the animosity in her voice spelled more trouble for Alicia

"Miss Greiston, I presume," Sherry said with chilly politeness, her s to figure out why Jake had picked her over herself "Come on back to my office, if you would"

Jake took Alicia’s ice-cold hand and followed Sherry, who he swore swayed her hips more than she’d done the last couple of times he’d seen her In fact, his impression of her had always been one of professional detach to maintain a businesswo

In sharp contrast, Alicia wore a robin’s egg blue skirt that softly swirled below her knees with her every step and atop of so his fingers over She wore heels, but not as high as Sherry’s, and they were strappy, sexy, andAnd while Sherry’s hair was pulled back in a severe twist of curls at the back of her head, Alicia’s softly caressed her shoulders in an inviting way Sherry was elegant in a professional hile Alicia was enticing in a feminine way

When they reached Sherry’s office, she motioned to a chair in front of her desk and Alicia took the seat as Jake sat beside her
