Splintered Vigil: The New Protectorate Fracture: Book One - Paperback

by Abigail Kelly (Author)

Finders keepers.

Sloane knows he shouldn't watch her. A predator trained from childhood to do what no one else will, his specialties are murder and torture, not protection. Certainly not any of the things a mate should be. He's no good for anyone - most especially the soft human woman he stalks day and night.

Losers get a bolt in the head.

Cecilia Warren is a waitress with dreams of being a teacher. She's soft, sweet, and blessedly ignorant of the bloodshed he deals in. When she's attacked, the plan is to rescue her, not keep her. But everything goes awry when he finally gets her in his claws. Instincts blur loyalty. Need makes letting her go impossible.

If they want to take her, they'll have to kill him first.

The mission objective shifts when he goes from protector to captor, secreting her away and going AWOL from his squad, the terrifying shadow unit known as Fracture. He won't give her up and he won't back down - even if that means destroying himself to keep her.
