Hired to protect her, he can’t ignore the desires of his body…and his heart. Mountain lion shifter Viviana Corona, one of the youngest in the pride, has been coddled her entire twenty-two years and groomed to take over the alpha position once her mother steps down. When her rebellious streak nearly lands her in the hands of hostile vampires, her mother hires a bodyguard. There’s just one problem—he’s human. Seth Hudson was raised in a pack—his stepdad was a wolf shifter. When his widowed mother accrues astronomical gambling debts, Seth will take any good-paying job he can find to work off her debts and help her get well again. He didn’t count on falling in love with the sexy little mountain lion shifter he’s hired to protect, but when he faces the prospect of losing her to a crazed vampire, he realizes he’ll risk anything to get her back. Although it is part of a series and best read in order, this shapeshifter novella stands alone and contains liberal usage of naughty language and sexytimes. It is intended for adults.
