The King's Mate — Honor James

She is a vet, just a vet. No one would ever mean her harm. Or so Christine Shaw thought. Until one fateful night when someone--no, something--tried to grab her. Having her bacon saved by sexy-as-sin man candy definitely doesn't hurt. But really, who would want her? Hardened, sometimes harsh Tryggr Jackson learned through brutal lessons that life isn't fair. But on rare occasions it is very giving and generous. Finding his bond-mate was as much a shock to him as anyone else he knew. But can the tiny bit of woman handle all that is pent up within him? Chrissy sees there is more to her man than he knows. She must prove to him that he is what is needed to save a throne and to protect all he's ever known.
