Guardian of His Love — Claire Adele

Derek Wolfson's afraid of being hurt like his college girlfriend wounded him. After rescuing Kelly Wolford, alias Smith, from the deadly Hawks gang, he can't forget her. Kelly's running from an arranged marriage. She's an independent woman and doesn't want to marry the guy her family expects her to marry. The only way she can avoid the arranged marriage is by proving to her family that she's seriously involved with Derek. When her brothers find her, she realizes her family won't give up on their choice. When she tells Derek her problem, he promises to protect her. She warns him there's bound to be a showdown between Derek and the man her family wants her to marry. It will involve proving by her family's pack-law traditions that no other man can love her like Derek can. The winner receives her hand in marriage. With the help of Jared Hunter, master seducer, can Derek prepare Kelly for every eventuality, or will he lose her? Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among the men.
