Vet Under Fire by Lynn Hagen

Nando doesn’t trust very easily, and when he runs into the town vet, he thinks Dr. Evan Scott is arrogant. Nando would do good to stay away from him, but is unable to resist Evan’s charm. When he’s invited to dinner at the mansion, Nando isn’t sure he should go. But his curiosity wins out, and soon Nando realizes there is a whole other world right under his nose.

Evan knows he has to take things slow with Nando. The human doesn’t trust very easily, which makes Evan’s job of getting to know his mate even harder. But when Nando is attacked, left for dead on the side of the road, it’s up to Evan to nurse his mate back to health and find the one responsible. Nothing on heaven or earth will stop him from protecting what is his, and making the culprit pay.
