Maybe it’s the meerkat in me, but I’ve always been on the lookout for danger, excitement, and intrigue.

And I definitely didn’t expect to meet my fated mate while I was there...or to start our relationship with a literal bang. There’s no need to freak out when things get crazy, not when my protective mate is entirely made of sunshine and huge muscles.

Clay Moreno is a paid killer, just like his four brothers. It’s the family business - they fight together, they die together.
