Natural Evil- Thea Harrison

Attempted Murder. Passion. Betrayal. It’s a dog-eat-dog world.

Claudia Hunter is on a road trip through the Nevada desert when she sees the body of a dog on the side of the highway. Pulling over to investigate, she quickly determines that the enormous animal is clinging to life. While working to save him with the help of the local vet, Claudia realizes there’s something about the creature that seems more. Other. Wyr. Which makes this case of animal cruelty attempted murder.
Too injured to shape shift, Luis Alvaraz is reluctant to tell Claudia what he knows about his attack, afraid it will only make her a target. But the sheriff is corrupt, and his attackers know Luis is alive and vulnerable. To make matters worse, a sandstorm is sweeping into town, and if they’re going to survive the night, Luis will have to place all his trust in Claudia.
Warning: Take a gorgeous man temporarily stuck in the dog house, add a strong, take-no-prisoners woman, mix in encroaching enemies and a raging sandstorm and stir to combine. Enjoy with a freshly opened can of whoop-ass.

Let me start off by describing Luis a little more 6'5 all muscled man she calls precious to get him mad enough to tell her his real name since he's not able to shift into a human.. There’s a big age different with these two, she’s 40 ex-military and he's 27 peacekeeper of the wyr. While investigating some strong shipments coming from a silver mine. Luis is sent to find out the truth. That’s when he is shot twice while in dog form and unable to shift back while being dragged behind their car until they thought he was dead. That’s when Claudia finds him and takes him to the nearest vet. She knows that most of the people in the town are corrupt and she will have to protect this wyr alone until he's able to protect himself. Luis is very, very sexy. This was a book that covered the whole story with and open ended ending so I think we will see more of this couple. No one admitted love and there’s a strange tarot card box that chooses who it wants to be with.
