Act of Freedom

Paranormal Security and Intelligence operative and wolf-shifter Dougal "Striker" McCracken is known for his wild ways, and devil may care attitude. He's worked long and hard to build the persona. It disarms others and protects his emotions. The ones he keeps buried within. But try as he might, one woman sees through his antics. She's not afraid to call him on his bull or set him in his place when the need arises (which it often does). He's not sure how to act around the lass.



On the one hand, she makes his body burn with a desire, the likes of which he's never experienced before. On the other, she's irritable, stubborn, not a huge fan of his, and most of all, vulnerable.



He might have already missed his window to claim the feisty woman. Even if he hasn't, it would be wrong to give in to the pull he has to her when all she needs is time to heal and process everything she'd gone through. But it's impossible for him to stay away. Simply being in her orbit soothes his inner wolf.



Striker knows deep down she's his mate and that patience has never been one of his virtues. When the enemy makes a move against her, this Scotsman lets his wolf and his emotions free.
