Hot, Hard and Howling — Mari Freeman

Nell Ambercroft hasn't done anything wrong. Lately. So why is someone trying to kill her? When a horde of moths lead her to a puzzle box in her basement, the Demon Hafling knows she's found a clue. The box has some serious mojo working, powerful enough to kill for…and Nell's at the top of the hit list.

Enter Werewolf Trent Nicholas. As Prime for the area, it's Trent's job to protect Nell and investigate the crime. Nell knows he'd rather investigate her body, which is fine by her; she's loved the man for years. While the sex is sizzling, Trent continues to go cold every time he leaves the warmth of her body. Trent's always wanted the spunky half-Demon, but the men in his family have a nasty habit of murdering their mates. He refuses to give in to his wolf's need to claim Nell. If he doesn't, she might not have to worry about a killer on the loose. She could die by Trent's hand first…
