All rights reserved.Chapter1Autumn: Aspen Creek, MontanaAnna let her hands press the ivory keys of the old upright piano in a few preparatory chords, enjoying the rich sound. Music, for her, was not just an auditory experience-she loved the feel of the vibrations running through her fingers. The bass notes resonated in her core, leaving her energized and ready to play.In all senses of the word.She glanced over her shoulder and up at her husband's face. She wasn't sure anyone else had ever played with him. No one in their pack, for certain, including Bran. Oh, they played music with him, but they didn't play games.The piano wasn't her instrument, but like most people who had ever attended college with the aim of majoring in music, she was reasonably competent.

But Charles had turned her into an unabashed Johnny Cash fan-though she liked Cash's songs even better if Charles sang them. They suited his voice.She would have loved Charles if he hadn't been able to carry a tune in a bucket, but Charles's facility for and love of music had been one of many unexpected gifts her mate had brought to their union. She had been so lucky to find him.Gradually they had begun challenging each other, finding sin
