The Shepard's Agony — Mandy Rosko

David Shepard thought he'd found the love of his life, the reason to leave behind his career of hunting down paranormal creatures. Gwen is exactly what he needs. Smart and beautiful, and more importantly, in love with him despite his inability to tell her what he does for a living. Until he spots the birthmark on her body that marks her as a born werewolf, forcing him to leave without a word. It's her pack that he and his family are targeting, and now he must choose between the loyalty he has to his family, or the love of a woman who might very well literally rip his heart out in his sleep. But he can't believe that Gwen is a wild and dangerous werewolf. Not his Gwen, so when his choice is made, David will prepare for a fight that could cost him the lives of everyone he loves, for the sake of sparing the love of his life.
