She's my only suspect. Guess I'll have to restrain her. We don't have a ton of crime in this small town. And usually it doesn't involve hot-as-fu@k chefs.

She may be innocent, but shady shit is going down. I want to trust her. Let her in. But my past won't let me. Cuff her, or fu@k her? I'm too lost to choose.

Clear Marna. But as they rush through the night and dodge the danger that chases them, Tanner’s inner beast recognizes Marna for what she really is…his mate.
