The Panther and the Mob Girl by Cass Holiday

Curvy dance instructor Molly Torelli has spent her entire life trying to escape her family’s criminal history. When a brother she hasn’t seen in years shows up at her doorstep to tell her there’s been a hit placed on her life, she fears she’ll never be free of the mafia. Now the safest place for her may be with the family she wants nothing to do with. Will she have to give up her dance studio–her life’s passion–for the sake of her own safety?
Rafael Suarez’s life hasn’t been worth a damn since he left the military. As a panther shifter, he was part of an elite Special Forces squad. Part of a team. A team he let down. He thought a solitary life would be a welcome change from the guilt that’s been plaguing him. When his old squad mate offers him a job at a private security firm, his panther gets restless. Rafael meets Molly and realizes why his panther is all hot and bothered–she’s his mate. His life will never be the same.

Molly needs a bodyguard and Rafael knows he’d give up anything to keep her safe–even his own fears. Will he be able to protect not only her body but her heart as well?
