Book excerpt: Takhini Shifters #3: Lady Amanda Ainsworth found a safe place to pull herself together under the roof of the loud, boisterous Takhini Wolf pack. Safe—except for the sexy grizzly shifter with the oversized biceps and the steely-grey eyes who’s also hanging his hat with the Whitehorse wolves. Justin Cullinan makes her light up and shimmer inside like the Northern Lights, and she knows it’s time for her to take a bite on her new life. He may be the bodyguard and not the CEO, but Justin is powerful in his own right. He gets what he wants—and who he wants is the sweet, seductive Mandy. He’ll go as slowly as necessary, but he has no intention of stopping until she admits they’re meant to be. But when her safety is threatened, all bets are off. Justin’s going to keep his lady safe and find out who’s stalking her, and the best place is hidden in plain sight in the biggest shifter town in the north. That is, if they aren’t running into a trap… Warning: get ready for a trip up north to visit the Takhini pack (and Chicken!) because everyone deserves a happily-ever-after, especially a Lady with secrets.
