Paige has a small life in a small town, and that’s fine with her. She’s happy with her chickens, her job as a police officer and her questionable home-improvement skills. However, when her rookie partner shows up on her doorstep one night, everything changes. He’s panicked, bloody, dead—and still begging for help. And Paige is feeling an unfamiliar desire, a primal need for her partner that leaves her shaken and out of control. Brady’s dark good looks have attracted the attention of a monster, but that doesn’t mean he has to become a monster. Instincts might whisper about dark thoughts, but he’s trusted Paige with his life on the streets, and he’ll trust her now. If trusting her means learning to ignore his growing hunger for the woman and a visceral need to be in her bed, so be it.
