Goodreads asked Zoe Ray:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Zoe Ray I was intrigued by the idea of a workplace romance, and I was going to have a regular romance story where a lady falls for her boss. I had also been thinking about exploring the paranormal world. I thought about all the characteristics I wanted my male lead to have, and I realized they were the characteristics of a wolf, so I combined the two ideas and made my lead a wolf shifter. That made the story so much more interesting, everything fell into place after that, because obviously, the boss was an alpha male, but how would he tell that to his mate, and how would she react. Those elements excited me, and the story took off.
