The Indomitable Huntress & the Hardened Duke

After a bitter betrayal, he refuses to trust hunters, but a certain huntress catches his eye . . . Greg Claw's bonded mate did the unthinkable, conspiring against him and his family during their time together, so she is punished with death. Now he knows never to trust a hunter. This includes the newly appointed chief octopus, Sushmita. But the more he's around her, the more intrigued he becomes. The longer they work together, the more he can't deny the connection growing between them. It's not a bond, but there's certainly something. Sushmita has her own secrets and motives for everything she does, and choosing this profession is no exception . . . Never one to choose her heart over her mind, Sush is never where she is by accident, and right now, she's determined to see through her venture regardless of how much she has to give up and who she has to leave behind. The presence of a brooding lycan duke won't make a difference—or at least it shouldn't. But with threats pressing in close, danger lurking in the shadows, and things not appearing as they seem, Greg and Sushmita will have to face the choice between giving in and letting go, or risk losing it all.
