A shifter and a human together? Unimaginable…

One careless decision. The colony betrayed. Tanen’s only course is a desperate hunt for justice, but his solo mission is cut short when he’s mortally wounded. Rescued by a sweet, innocent woman, he can’t deny the passion that burns between them. Now he must choose between his duty and honor or his desire for the precious, but forbidden, human female.

Broken promises and ruined love hardened Sheri’s heart. When she finds an injured and extraordinarily sexy man on her property, she’s pulled into a world she never imagined. As she nurses him back to health and they bond over their love of books, she’s torn between the lessons she learned from her rough past and the need to seek solace in Tanen’s arms, but she must learn to trust him, and herself, in order to survive.

Excerpt:

     A nervous chuckle bubbled from her lips. “See, Coop, no problem—”
     Coop pushed past her, and a low growl eased from him. In all the time she’d had him, he’d never reacted this way before. She gripped his collar, holding him in place.
     Thump.
     Her heart skipped a beat before revving into overdrive. Adrenaline surged through her veins, her face tingling from the rush of blood. The urge to flee overwhelmed her, and the muscles in her legs and arms tensed.
     “Ahhhh…” a distinctive male voice eased from the gloom.
     Coop lunged, yanking against her grip. His barks continued.
     “Quiet, Coop!” Her companion hushed, but he strained against her hold.
     A dark form slumped against the far wall.
     She inhaled and took a step back.
     The man groaned louder.
     “Who are you? What are you doing in my shed?”
     The only sounds, his labored breaths and her own heartbeat.
     She emboldened her tone with as much confidence as she could. “You’re trespassing. I’m calling the police.”
     “No…don’t.” His words were short, strained, yet the tenor of his voice weaseled its way into the deepest recesses of her soul. The sensation warmed her insides. She held her breath.
     He moaned again. His dark form moved.
     Her medical training kicked in and she had the urge to rush to his side and help him, but she remained wary. “Are you injured? Should I call an ambulance?”
     “Is it dark outside?” His strained speech carried across the small space.
     A strange desire to hear him speak again washed over her. She fisted her hand. “What difference does it make if it’s dark outside? If you’re injured, you need help.”
     “Please, tell me…is it,” a quick intake of breath, “…dark yet?”
     The cultured way he spoke made her still. She’d never heard his accent before. Sweat broke out on the back of her neck, dampening her collar. He seemed in pain, but she wasn’t sure. Her curiosity warred with her fear, and she wavered between barricading herself in her house with Coop and rushing to aid him. Instead, she remained fixed in place.
     “It’s dusk,” she choked out, her throat tightening from her confusion.
     He leaned his head against the wall. She couldn’t see his features, but from his outline, she could tell he was a large man. “Don’t…fear me. I’ll leave…soon…dark.” His words washed over her again, stroking her insides.
     With a quick move, he stood. A stifled groan eased from his lips, and he rested his shoulder against the wall.
     She took a step back. It took all of her inner strength not to run.
