Red. Tales of the Were - Redstone Clan, #2

A water nymph who doesn't know what she is. A werecougar Alpha running security in Las Vegas. A bar fight, a drugging, and a fated bond that derails everything - including her brother's friendship. Steve Redstone has been asked to keep a quiet eye on his Army buddy's little sister while she tears up the Vegas strip for a bachelorette party. Simple enough. Except Trisha Morrow is nothing like he expected, and when a coordinated attack targets her group and Steve fights his way across a nightclub to reach her, his inner cougar makes a decision his human half is going to have to live with - she is his mate.
Trisha has no idea that the world is packed with shapeshifters, vampires, half-fey, and ancient magical threats, or that the reason Others keep targeting her has everything to do with what she carries in her own blood. But the dangerous, golden-eyed man who walked through a bar brawl to reach her side seems to know more than he's saying, and she is very much okay with that. Bad guys keep coming. Secrets keep surfacing.
And Steve Redstone is the one person who makes her feel like she can finally stop hiding the wild, inexplicable power she's never fully understood. Her brother, however, is going to lose his mind.
