Book Description:
Andromeda Reynolds is being hunted.
After witnessing her mother’s violent death at the hands of a pack of wolf
shifters, Andie has devoted her life to protecting her community of cougar
shifters from a similar fate. But now, a greater threat lies within her own
dare, and she must run. If she stays, Kyle Carstairs will force their mating,
seeking the added political power their union would provide.
Andie would rather chew off her own
foot than end up with Kyle. Though, knowing him, she won’t live long either
way. Andie’s only hope of survival is to mate Jaxon Keller, the Alpha of the
Keller Dare with which she is seeking asylum. But before she can get to him,
Andie must first go through A.J., one of the Alpha’s Protectors.
What Andie doesn’t realize is that
A.J. has secrets of his own. All Andie knows is that the incredibly frustrating
shifter insists on challenging her story, her skills, her trust… and her heart.

Excerpt:
He glanced down at
her. “You really are a tiny thing, aren’t you?”
Andie scowled.
“Don’t let my size fool you. I can pack a wallop when I want to. Even with a
broken arm.”
A.J. laughed. “I’m
sure you can.”
Andie stared
straight ahead, her mouth thinning. She hated being patronized. Men were so
dense sometimes. They never took her seriously until she showed them exactly
why they should.
Keeping her left
arm protected, Andie suddenly dropped. One leg shot out and she spun low to the
ground, sweeping A.J.’s feet out from under him. As he landed on his back, she
was on top of him, her knee on his windpipe—not crushing, just sending a
message.
Before she could
gloat too much, though, she was flying through the air. Andie tucked into a
back flip, landed on her feet, and then spun and launched herself backwards in
a one-handed back handspring. A.J. had just gotten on his feet when her legs
wrapped around his neck. She used her momentum to drop him back to the floor.
Andie rolled and
ended up in a crouch close by. A.J. held up his hands in surrender. “All right,
wildcat. You’ve proved yourself.”
Andie glared at
him. “Don’t doubt me. And don’t insult my intelligence by pretending you just
lost either,” she said in a severe voice, made harsher, perhaps, by the fact
that she’d just realized exactly how incredible his blue eyes were. They were a
vibrant color made even more interesting by the black ring that rimmed the
irises. And she was more than irritated with herself for having noticed that at
all.
He levered himself
up off the floor. “Fair enough.”
The only thing
that kept her from proving her point more—because she could tell he’d held
back—was the small amount of respect she could see in his eyes. With a brusque
nod, she followed him down the hall.
