Vengeance for Pain

By Maria Vickers

Rory's life has never been easy, but at least now, it has meaning. The Shadow Hounds have given him something he never has never had before: family and loyalty. He found purpose in his job, but his brothers have supported him and helped him in his cause. As their Enforcer, Rory protects what's his with ruthless devotion. Nothing threatens his pack on his watch.

So when a woman, who is a complete stranger, appears on their doorstep with a warning of danger closing in, Rory's must figure out what part she plays in all of this and if they can trust her.

The problem? Char, also known by her hacker name Dragon, is his mate. As a hellhound, he only has one true mate. A mate he doesn't want...has never wanted. A mate he doesn't know if he can trust. Every instinct screams at him to pull her close, to claim her, but he hesitates.

Char may be the most dangerous temptation.

***
Char has spent years running from who she is and the life she left behind after she found out the truth about her father. But she's built a new life, even if she constantly looks over her shoulder. As a hacker, she can go anywhere and do anything. One job has the ability to shatter everything. Now, the past she has spent years running from is clawing its way back, and the man at the center of it all is Derek Hill, also known as Rory, the Enforcer to the notorious Shadow Hounds. Rory and his brother might be the only ones who can stop what's coming.

Her secrets could destroy them all, and she's already betrayed Rory, the man she can't stop thinking about, the man she craves and desires unlike any man before him. She never expected him. He makes her feel safe...wanted...like she belongs somewhere, and she hasn't had that in a long time.

Now she needs Rory's strength and love, but when he finds out the truth, will she lose him forever? Or will he claim her?

Only the sweetest vengeance comes from a shattering pain.
