Blood Tide — C.J. Matthew

The Santa Barbara Channel holds a closely guarded secret…She had more than just her mission…Sy's rotation on land as a dolphin shifter couldn't have come at a better time. With her best friend missing and no answers forthcoming, it was time to take matters into her own hands. And with the resources at the Save Blue Water organization, finding her friend would be a whole lot easier. Except …something sinister is going on inside SBW, something deadly, and Sy finds herself at the center of danger.The last thing he needed was bullets and bombs…Noah Nelson spent every minute trying to forget the war while fighting his PTSD, but jumping in front of a bullet was second nature. It had nothing to do with the fact the target was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Or that she was naked. But suddenly he's caught up in her world, protecting her from unforeseen threats, and falling in love … but Sy's got a secret that may rip them apart. Forever.
