Shielded by Her Fated Mate

Mira wakes in the back of a moving truck and knows she is in serious trouble.

She frees herself and runs, yet her pursuers close in again just as a stranger bursts into the fight.

Ansel had been about to leave in search of his fated mate after his brother found his, until gunshots in his backyard revealed a curvy woman pinned behind the trees.

He puts his body between her and the gunfire, takes a bullet in the shoulder, and still drives the men away so he can get her out.

Now his mate is with him, but he is wounded and still has to keep her safe.

Mira feels she owes him her life, and when he asks for her heart, she realizes how little of it she still holds back.
