Pariah by Dakota West

Fifteen years ago, Garrett Monson’s parents drove off a cliff to their deaths. The police said it was an accident, but Garrett’s always been suspicious. He’s positive something sinister happened that night, but no matter how hard the self-made loner searches for the truth, he can’t seem to find it.

He knows he’s close. He knows his every move is being watched. Stuck and out of options, he does the only thing he can think of – he turns to a private investigator.

Ellie Velasquez is the last person Garrett expects. Instead of a cranky old man, she’s a curvy, determined firecracker, and Garrett finds himself irresistibly drawn to her.

Even though she usually spends her days working divorce cases or searching for lost dogs, when this handsome, mysterious stranger shows up at her door she can’t say no. Not to his quiet, rugged sex appeal or those dimples.

When the case gets dangerous and Garrett and Ellie have to go on the run, can their blossoming love survive the onslaught of evil forces, deeply held family secrets, and an insane billionaire who wants the secrets of shifting for himself?

Or will these star-crossed lovers be torn apart before their romance begins?
