The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

The Boyd family was in complete disarray after Vivienne walked out the door.

Wendy collapsed in a faint, while Teresa, Nancy, and their daughters, were terrified, at a loss for what to do next.

Theodore and Hayden were livid with rage when they returned and saw the chaos.

How on earth did she manage to get a wolf?

Dr. Marcus was the Boyd family’s private physician. Given the circumstances, they could not exactly broadcast their problems, so they called him.
