Beauty — Jacqueline Paige

Traveling and helping others is the perfect fit for Deva. Working for the Shifter Alliance gives her that. Her current assignment is to fly to a location where the most extensive operation the teams have undergone is taking place. She's ready for it and will do whatever it takes for all involved to succeed. Before she can even get started, she meets a man that—even in her wildest dreams, she never imagined existed. He's tall, dark, and dangerous and is her mate. Torn between helping the teams and the attraction to this man, she needs to figure out how she can do her job and not let the others down.  Taggart Steele is wanted in so many countries; he's lost count. His life has been a dangerous game of working in the shadows to rescue his kind from the leaders allowing atrocities to occur. He has a team of mercenaries that do what it takes to free others in danger. When their paths cross with the Shifter Alliance, he makes a deal with their king that will keep their relatives safe from harm. Together with the Alliance teams, they're going to shut down the underground organization that hunts, cage, and torture shifters worldwide. After a few months in North America, he decides it will be his home. Until he came here, he could never have had a real one. Of course, nowhere in his plans was there the probability of finding his mate—but now that he has found her, he will make her a permanent part of his life just as soon as he can get her to agree.~In Jacqueline Paige's Animal Senses Series, hearts and tempers collide with wild passions and animal instincts. Animal shifters live among normal humans (one-forms) and have since the dawn of time. They blend in without any cause for notice until a crime organization finds out and starts hunting them to sell off across the globe. The shifter alliance is formed to protect all their kind. Their teams are working endlessly to rescue all of theirs from lives of servitude and shutting down any involvement in the underground organization.
