Raging Wolf
Felicity Jordan - 2019
Michael knew it was the harbinger of trouble. Growling and shifting to his wolf form he ran through the chill, primeval forest to investigate. He was the grizzled veteran of dozens of motorcycle club turf wars and he’d seen it all. But what he found shocked even him. A young raven-haired beauty in the middle of a sea of destruction. A witch. The daughter of his hated rival and archenemy of all shifters. He should just leave her. His life was complicated enough. But the sight of her awakened a deep, primal desire inside of him. He would save her. And she would be his.

And she’s good at it. But when the thing she hunts saves her life, injuring himself in the process… her crystal clarity suddenly becomes blurry. Vampires are meant to be monsters, not protectors… not charismatic, annoyingly handsome and loyal and… everything.Indigo is a Fae Guardian, and a ruthless vampire protector of Elphyne. The Order has tasked him with finding a human with deadly secrets before the unhinged Unseelie Queen, or the fanatical human leader, can exploit her. They chose him for one reason, and one reason only – the taste of human blood does things to him. Addictive, dark, insatiable things. And when he catches Violet’s scent, they know he’ll do everything in his power to covet her and keep her safe. But Indigo hides his own shameful secret in the shadows of his heart, and if it ever comes to light, Violet will never trust him. She’ll kill him.The Secrets in Shadow and Blood is the next installment in the Fae Guardians series, and the first in the Season of the Vampire Trilogy.
