Hard, inked, huge—all anyone sees is the warrior.

But not her.

Cora knows I need excitement and the thrill of a fight because she craves action, too.

She knows I chat romance books with women twice my age, including her grandmother.

She knows that I'm more than the bodyguard—because she is, too.

She's struggling to get her new security firm off the ground while set-backs pile up and threats loom. She needs my help, but I'm torn between duty to my pack and allowing myself to embrace what I truly desire.

I've always wanted her from afar, and once she's close, I can't deny my feelings for her.

Even if she doesn't know it yet, Cora is my mate.
