Guarded

Shepherd's Watch #2

by J. Hali Steele

Wade Alsatian is stuck guarding the owner of the escort service he frequents. He doesn't count on the sexy as hell woman tying him in knots and driving him insane with her mouth and body

Jetta Volker still carries scars from a dog attack. Now she's left in the care of a huge shepherd, and afraid to move in her own home. But it's for other reasons she waits for her guard to return. His scent triggers a need she has ignored far too long. Jetta gave up on men -- but she wants this one.

Breaking through barriers and accepting the scars from their past may tear them apart.

This one is a major step down from the first one. He was a dog shapeshifter and expected her to accept him as her mate by not letting her have time to get use to the idea since she had been attacked and scarred by a dog. Her job seem to fade in the backround as it was given in bits and pieces. It seemed to be a prostitution ring as she closed her mind as to what is going on with the girls.
