Bad Blood Panther by Anastasia Wilde

I’ll always find you, Jenny.

Jenny Castile can’t forget the chilling words of Alton Raines, alpha of the Broken Hill panther clan—the man who wants to take her baby son from her and raise him to be a killer. Her last hope is to track down her old friend Alex Fierro, now Xander of the infamous Bad Blood Crew. They’re the only monsters badass enough—and crazy enough—to protect her and Brandon. The fact that she once harbored a secret love for the man who only saw her as a friend doesn’t matter anymore. At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself…

Ever since he was Turned without consent—or even a little effing heads-up—by his ex-girlfriend, Cindi, Xander’s life has been a gradual slide into hell and insanity. Now he and his panther are one homicidal rage away from having to be put down, and his only goal is to leave the crew he loves before they’re the ones that have to do it. So the last thing he needs is Jenny Castile showing up in his life, begging for his help.

How can he help her, when he can’t even help himself?

Only problem: Xander’s panther wants Jenny, and he wants her bad. Suddenly his old friend is stirring up feelings he thought were gone from his heart forever. But Jenny’s keeping secrets—secrets that can either rip Xander’s life to pieces all over again, or finally help him step up and turn into the man he’s always wanted to be. Can Jenny trust Xander with everything? And can he become the mate she needs, before Alton Raines destroys them both?
