Indirect Lines. Halle Shifters, #5

There's only one way to win this game: break the rules. Halle Shifters Book 5James "Barney" Barnwell is losing his ever-loving mind. Between the threat to the white shifters and a riddle he's been ordered to solve stands the woman who's been driving him crazy: Heather Allen, cousin to the white Fox. Barney can't concentrate on anything but getting a certain redhead under him in bed, let alone riddles.
It takes all his strength not to bite her, but getting her scent on him could lead others to her, others that won't hesitate to put her cute little Hobbit ass in the ground. Heather will do anything she can to help Barney so long as the stubborn Bear bites her. Hell, at this point she'd take a playful nibble, but he's holding strong. Worse, he's got logic on his side. She agrees to his edict, but sets a time limit she's certain neither of them will be able to hold to.
Despite his best efforts to protect her Heather is hurt while protecting her cousin from a mercenary attack. Barney rushes to her side and claims her, bringing her fully into his crazy world. With his mate's life in his hands, Barney has to solve the riddle and protect the white shifters before the enemy discovers that the Hunter has finally been caught by love.
