She’s untouched … for now For five agonizing years now, I’ve tried to push the lush, far-too-sweet woman out of my life, and my dreams. She’s a human, which makes her a danger to all the shifters in Night Falls. She’s also untouched, which makes her a danger to what little restraint I possess around her with each passing day. But seeing as how she’s my little sister’s best friend, avoiding her hasn’t been easy. And now that there’s a shooter targeting the pack, the only way I can keep Paisley safe is to keep her close. As if that weren’t impossible enough, the pack alpha goes and makes a decree. For her protection, Paisley needs to be mated to someone in the pack by the end of the month. Damn it all to hell. I’m pretty sure the man hates me. To Braeden, I’ve always been the human he wished his sister would stop being friends with—literally a different species from him, being that he and his sister are wolf-shifters and all. After years watching him blatantly keep his distance, no one is more shocked than I am over his reaction when the shooter that’s after the pack takes aim at me. Book 2 of Protected by the Pack.
