Beast Untamed

To guard his woman, he must claim his mate.

Ex-special forces operative Nathan Quinn enjoys women, but he just doesn't trust them. Thanks to a mother who abandoned him, he prefers no-strings relationships, and has no intention of ever marrying or mating with a fellow shifter. He focuses his energy on building his security business until a human woman catches his eye-and firmly rejects his charm. Which only challenges him to work harder to break down her barriers. Born of ambitious, emotionally cold parents, Erin Howard's craving for attention led her down a slippery slope to an abusive relationship. Now on the run from her ex, she plans to lay low and stay away from possessive, dominating males. But who says she can't enjoy a little hot sex without a shred of commitment? Soon their attraction explodes into something so fierce, that Nathan feels the primal need to mark Erin as his. But his fallback plan-distance himself-creates the space for Erin's past to drive the final, possibly fatal, wedge between them.

Warning: Contains a sexy panther shifter with an attitude problem, a human female intent on playing things safe, and an anxious dog learning to co-exist with the local cats.
