Book #8
Start with Extreme Exposure. Winona Belcourt left the Pine Ridge Reservation to become a wildlife vet in the small Colorado mountain town of Scarlet Springs. She now leads a busy life caring for injured animals and watching over her aging grandfather. Apart from a complete lack of romance, her life is close to perfect. Then Jason Chiago comes to town, one of many volunteers here to help rebuild her family's summer camp. Tall, dark, and hot as hell, he's the friend of some friends and a member of the legendary Shadow Wolves, an all-Native unit of expert trackers who patrol the US-Mexico border. Sadly, he's also taken. As a Tohono O'odham man, Jason knows that life's journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns. Still, he never expected to be where he is now-his ex-fiancée in prison and his job with the Shadow Wolves on the line. On administrative leave for taking out a killer on the wrong side of the border, he has come to Scarlet Springs to help rebuild a kids' camp that burned to the ground-and to clear his head before his disciplinary hearing next month. Yet, from the moment Winona stumbles into him, he can think only about her. With her big heart, sharp mind, and sweet face, she is everything he's ever desired in a woman. But he made a deathbed promise to his grandmother that he would never abandon his responsibility to the O'odham people. Winona deserves better than a fling with a man who can't stick around. That's why he's going to keep his hands to himself. When a rancher asks Winona to help find a wolf that is killing his livestock, Jason and Winona join forces to solve the mystery. There haven't been wild wolves in Colorado for eighty years. But working closely side by side has consequences. As they move in on the wolf and uncover a more shocking truth, their attraction ignites into passion.
