Anthony — Kathi S. Barton

Coleen had heard just about all she wanted to hear from her grandmother about the Bentleys -- no one could be that nice. There had to be an angle there somewhere. People just didn't help other people for nothing -- not in this day and age. Tony Bentley wasn't expecting to find his mate, and as a Were Panther he could even understand her reluctance. He was, after all, a Bentley, and the poor woman had been taken through the ringer, but she was his mate, and he wasn't about to take no for an answer. Coleen's ex had left her in a heap of debt, and she couldn't allow herself to bring that kind of baggage into a relationship. She'd work through it somehow -- without the help of the mighty Bentleys.
