Johnathan Pennyfare is in the prime of his life. Young and well-to-do, he's fighting to find his place in rural Sussex as England is caught in the throws of the Industrial Revolution. Good thing he has the love of beautiful Emma Talbot to ground him. Their names will be on everybody's lips once he proposes to her at tonight's social.
He has only a single task before leaving for the manor house. Some newfangled scientist is seeking his patronage. Unbeknownst to Johnathan, the frightful Doctor Robenson is more frantic for funds than he appears. In an effort to ensure Johnathan's support Robenson infects him with his latest invention, an elixir made from the great British symbol, the lion. Johnathan must now support the foul man if he hopes to find a cure.
Now not only must Johnathan dance the intricate social ritual of marrying good Miss. Talbot, but also hide the physical changes as he slowly transforms into something that would be better seen in a freak show.
Perhaps things aren’t as furry as expected, but that makes then no easier.

Well it might not be socially acceptable in England, but I can see where the young Sire of Hammerwood would like to have his own pride of beauties with Emma as his queen.
Thomas rolled his eyes. “That's the way it always is, eh? The one time an interesting case crosses our desk an it's nothing. Who knows, perhaps this country life isn't what I'm cut out for. I could always hand in for a transfer to London.”
I think the young Constable should take a long walk. Perhaps he'll meet and old season officer who could give him some sage advice.
"There is no shame in a humble posting, brother. His voice came softer now, quiet, almost lost on the light fragrant breeze that flowed between us. "Many of the greatest Dogs I have ever had the honor of meeting were relegated to humble postings. "

Hehe. Of all the content in that chapter, you know the one like folks would notice!
Oh, and you never know who young Thomas might run into, given the fullness of time. Though I do have to say I enjoy having a reader who remembers my stories as well or better than I do!
And thanks for pointing out the typos!
