    The man of her fantasies and the stuff dreams were made of. So what was a curvy girl to do when the hard-muscled wolf enforcer of her dreams thought being ordered to keep her safe was nothing more than a demeaning babysitting job? Why, call on her granny, who may or may not be a witch, to show her the way. Trey enjoyed his job as pack enforcer and the freedom and benefits that went along with it. Yep, he’d had a lot of women, both shifter and human, and he’d rather use the term relationship than one-night-stand. He sure didn’t need the beautiful but headstrong Aria heating up his dreams and haunting his days. Being forced to keep an eye on her while the alpha was away on pack business put him right where he didn’t want to be—close to the only woman who’d ever tempted him to even think about giving up his freedom. Besides, with rogue wolves abducting women and stealing from the pack’s lumber business, he had other issues to deal with. But when Aria’s father returned with a potential groom for his only child, Trey would have to fight to claim the alpha’s daughter.
