He'll do whatever it takes to protect his mate.

Dr. Adrian Giordano is quite happy with the way his life is going. His two best friends are happily mated, and he's still sanely single. He has friends, a thriving business, and the occasional Saturday night date. Then Sheridan Montgomery comes to town. His inner Puma responds to the husky-voiced snow princess in a way that tells him his life is about to be turned upside down.

Sheri can't believe her luck could be this bad. Instinct tells her Adrian is her mate, but the last thing she wants to do is drag him into her messy life. She's on the run from a big bad wolf-an ex who won't take no for an answer. Worse, if he catches her, he's got the teeth (and the Pack!) to take what he wants.

She doesn't stand a chance alone, but with her friends-and the persistent Adrian-by her side, she might just survive.

If her ex doesn't eat the yummy Dr. Giordano for lunch, that is...
