Sheltered by the Hounds

A librarian with a penchant for order, Clara Mae Thompson's world is shattered when she becomes the sole witness to a bloody cartel deal. Marked for death and with nowhere to turn, she's thrust into a world of savage violence and forbidden desire she only knows from books. Her only chance for survival is a deal with the devil. Ryker "Preacher" Stone is the ruthless president of the Serpent's Hounds Motorcycle Club, a man who rules his brutal world with an iron fist.
He's a walking, talking nightmare, and the only thing standing between Clara and a shallow grave. He offers her protection, but his sanctuary is a cage of leather and steel, and his price is her unconditional surrender. He demands she obey his every command, anticipate his every need, and submit to his every dark craving. As the cartel closes in, a more insidious war is waged within Clara's heart.
She is drawn to his hypnotic power, her body awakening with a passionate and wanton hunger she can't deny. She must decide if she can trust a man who lives by a code of violence, a man whose secrets are as dangerous as the enemies hunting her. Will this provocative game of dominance and submission be her salvation, or will the secrets he's hiding lead to her final, devastating undoing?
