Tempering Steel

After months of aching to be with grumpy Sheriff Connor Manning, Margarete Barrie finally gets her chance when a coyote shifter takes refuge in her home. She burns with need every time they're close, but even she can only take rejection so many times before giving up. Connor's resolve to stay away from Margie weakens when she takes in his packmate. Fighting his inner animal and jealousy makes him question his decision to leave women and love alone. They're thrown together to catch a trapper or hunter threatening the pack. But once things start to heat up even the possibility of danger doesn't cool the tension between them.
