An excerpt from A Wolf’s Protection
He’s killed people. He’s been in jail. He won’t talk about his birth pack.
Adam’s mysterious past was part of what made the Mad Dog Saloon such a draw. It made people curious, but Mary didn’t care about rumors. People looked at the black tattoos wrapping his muscular arms and neck and imagined the worst. But what she knew that some of the regulars didn’t was that he was a wolf, which made her doubt he’d been incarcerated. If he’d been locked up, someone would have realized that every once in a while there was a wolf inside the cell instead of a man. Then he would have been shipped off to some government research facility and trapped there for the rest of his days.
No, he hadn’t been in jail. She was sure of that.
But that didn’t mean he was any less dangerous. She’d heard the warning he’d given Freddie before he’d bounced his sorry ass. That wasn’t an empty threat.
You didn’t want to mess with people like Adam Sinclair.
She bit her lip. Not because he scared her, but because he was thrilling and powerful and everything she could ever want in a man. Unfortunately, he only saw her as an employee. It didn’t matter how skimpy her clothing got, he had never let his gaze slip down to her cleavage or linger on the hem of her skirt.
She wasn’t sure she could find any more revealing clothing without breaking some kind of decency law. And really, as much as she loved the extra tips she was getting, she wished he’d just open his eyes and see her so she could tone things down a bit.
This was killing her.
