Quickdraw Slow Burn by T. S. Joyce

Bucking bull shifter, Quickdraw Slow Burn, has had one focus, and one focus alone—winning that coveted title of number one bull in the world at the final Battle of the Bulls event. He’s trained relentlessly for this day, but he’s been drawn into a small herd of other monstrous bull shifters and is figuring out that he doesn’t have to celebrate his successes, or mourn his losses, alone anymore. When he meets Annabelle Faulk at a rodeo, she doesn’t look so intimidating, but she’s got one gnarly wolf residing inside of her. Maybe that’s part of the attraction. Quickdraw has tried and failed to find a match before, but this time is different. One unexpected night with her has him hooked, addicted, and bewitched. But when she finally accepts the plane tickets he’s been sending her to meet up again, she isn’t the same woman he met a month ago. Something has changed in her, and Annabelle’s reserve around him is confusing. It’s messing with his head, right before the biggest bucking event of his life. Annabelle has a big secret; he just can’t figure out what it is.

Annabelle Faulk is in big trouble. Something unexpected has happened to her that will change the course of her life forever. There’s a man she can’t stop thinking about in Quickdraw, but she is hyper-aware of how she could alter his life as well, and it has the potential to kill his career. When she finally goes to confront him, he doesn’t make it easy to cut ties. In fact, he’s caring toward her, and protective, and all the things she and her wolf have always wanted in a mate. It’s really hard to say a necessary goodbye, when goodbye is the last thing on earth she wants to do. Caught between a rock and a hard place, she is now growing that protective instinct to keep him safe from what’s happening. Someone is poisoning the bulls, and Quickdraw is the number one target. No matter what their future holds, Annabelle and Quickdraw have to keep each other alive…no matter what.
