Riordan

Riordan Harrison can't believe it. Everyone is pissed at him and he doesn't see what the fuss is all about. All he did was tell the woman that she was his mate. He couldn't help it that his tiger caused him to pin the woman to the counter and she proceeded to throw him to the ground and cover him with sticky pastries. Now, no one will talk to him, including his secretary. He hasn't claimed the woman yet, and it is all seeming like it's more trouble than it's worth.

Storm Browning, Stormy to her friends, is a wounded war hero. She's done her duty and just wants to live a quiet life―run her little bakery without any hitches. The majority of the men she commanded in the war had been shifters so she wasn't surprised when the big oaf sniffed her out claiming that she was his mate. But that doesn't mean she has to agree with it. What else could she do? He had to go. He'd hightail it and run anyway when he saw her scars―they all did. She couldn't emotionally handle that, not again at any rate.

But if Riordan is going to get back on everyone's good side, he'll have to make peace with the woman. Even though he thinks he's innocent, he'll go for a visit and maybe apologize, but after he gets there things go from bad to worse. Stormy is targeted for assassination and he's in the line of fire….
