He needed to prove he was good enough, she had to show him it didn't matter. Alpha bloodline, perfect showpiece daughter, and four older brothers. Giana's life. Joining the clan coordinators team meant she could contribute to the shifter world. Of course, she gave up her home and was now living in a van she didn't own, but she was being useful. She needed to do something to help her kind and not just her family's status. A rogue shifter, mangy mutt is what Deacon was, he knew it, admitted it, and accepted his place. He had no business being the mate of an Alpha's daughter. He spent his life moving with the wrong crowds to survive and now he must endure and watch over a mate he can never claim, but he had to make sure she was safe. With the teams all working together, they're put together as partners making it the best way to keep an eye on her, but it's his worst nightmare at the same time. How is he going to do his job, watch her and not give in to the need to claim her as his own? ~ In Jacqueline Paige's Animal Senses Series, hearts and tempers collide with wild passions and animal instincts. Animal shifters live among normal humans (one-forms) and have since the dawn of time. They blend in without any cause for notice until a crime organization finds out and starts hunting them to sell off across the globe. The shifter alliance is formed to protect all their kind. Their teams are working endlessly to rescue all of theirs from lives of servitude and shutting down any involvement in the underground organization.
