[Heroes of Shifter Creek 03] • Wanted By The Cowboy Tiger

CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE

**Everything is wrong.**

Krista Beucourt, an anthropologist from the city, excavates a set of bones in the scorching heat of a desert valley. She’s delighted, certain she is one step closer to uncovering what happened to a group of settlers who disappeared from the area long ago, until she realizes something odd about the bones. The upper half are those of a man… but the lower half are those of a beast.

Knowing he needs to protect Krista, Derek Shiloh befriends the sexy anthropologist, visiting often to ensure her safety. The desert is a dangerous place, especially for a woman seeking a deadly mystery. The cowboy admires Krista’s brains as well as her curves, and they grow close, making it difficult for Derek to remember that he has a secret of his own, one that could put Krista in more danger than she already is.

As the fate of the lost settlers comes into light, Krista finds that the man who has sworn to protect her is her enemy. But he’s also the key to helping her find the answers she seeks. Krista remains by Derek’s side, unsure if he truly cares for her, or if he’ll be her destruction.
