Some men just have more to offer. Like hard-muscled, shape-shifting Bo Novikov--part polar bear, part lion, pure alpha. . .Ten years after Blayne Thorpe first encountered Bo Novikov, she still cant get the smooth-talking shifter out of her head. Now hes shadowing her in New York--all seven-plus feet of him--determined to protect her from stalkers who want to use her in shifter dogfights. Even if he has to drag her off to an isolated Maine town where the only neighbors are other bears almost as crazy as he is. . .Let sleeping dogs lie. Bo knows its good advice, but he cant leave Blayne be. Blame it on her sweet sexiness--or his hunch that theres more to this little wolfdog than meets the eye. Blayne has depths he hasnt yet begun to fathom--much as hed like to.
