Lon Ewing snowboarded in and turned economist Corey Levigne's life upside down, introducing him to a world he didn't know existed. Corey's still adjusting to a boyfriend who shifts into an otter and raids the koi pond-and now Lon says Corey's department chair is a werewolf? Wolves at the university, wolves in the bank-across Lon's desk sits Professor Melvin Vadas and his hench-wolves, demanding a construction loan for the pack's new lodge in the mountains. There's just one little problem: the proposed building site is home to a breeding population of rare fish. What do wolves care for stupid human rules, an otter who'd barely make a good snack, or one pesky man determined to protect the environment? Once they're snout to snout with Corey and Lon there's more than silverscale dace on the Endangered Species list. Includes Tail Slide Fresh powder snow and running water in the Colorado back country call Lon like the moon calls the wolves. Belly-sliding to a good time on the weekends makes up for a workweek at a desk, and meeting Corey adds a whole new level of fun to snowboarding. It's easy to slip away for time alone in the woods without raising suspicion, but how's Lon to entertain himself when bad snow and a worse spill force them off the mountain too early? Never give an otter a box of Cheerios.
