Description:
When
greedy land developers set their sights on Dark Sentinel land, Torin turns to
attorney Stephanie Bates for help, but she’ll need his protection to stay alive
long enough to save his land.
Real estate lawyer, Stephanie Bates, has risen to the top of her field through meticulous sacrifice and goal setting. She has no time for distractions – and that includes pets, messy relationships, and loose ends.
Torin DuMont is a forensic scientist who chose the profession to avoid dealing with people as much as possible. Raised by a stepfather who hated him, he’s been forced to live a life of solitude, fueled by anger and distrust. When wolves and shifters start turning up dead, Torin must battle an enemy bent on destroying those he was born to protect. His greatest challenge, however, is Attorney Bates and the surprising affect she has on his heart.
Warning: This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it contains explicit sex scenes and/or situations and adult language, and may be considered offensive to some readers.

“…This was every bit as
wonderful as the first, romance, sex and the constant presence of evil. Will Torin and Steph find what Akila and
Sable have? Is there hope of a mating between a sentinel and a human? Are they
compatible enough to have children together? Well, I can’t wait for the next
book so I can get some more answers and meet another hunky alpha and another
amazing potential mate.”--Linda

“Torin DuMont is larger than
life, and commands attention from the first moment we meet him. He's brash and
very much an alpha male. Stephanie Bates is a hard-butt Real Estate Attorney,
with some issues of her own to work out. From their first meeting these two
bring out the best, and worst in each other. Their exciting adventure is full
of many unexpected twists. The book will grab your attention and run away with
it. Dariel Raye certainly knows how to keep the pages turning. A little over
descriptive at times, but that only adds to her unique writing style. Overall
Torin is a wonderful addition to the Dark Sentinel Series. Readers who enjoyed
the first one {Sable}, will be blown away by this sequel. Well done, Dariel.--Catrina

“Loved this book, a lot of my questions were answered in this book. The
first book was good but left me frustrated with so many questions. I'm looking
forward to the third book in this series. I think this story will only get
better with each book!”--AlabamaGirl, Amazon Reviewee
EXCERPT:
She pushed his T-shirt up further,
sliding her fingers down the center of his torso, toward the waist of his
jeans. She wanted to shout in exultation when Torin lifted his arms to whisk
the T-shirt over his head.
Torin stilled her hands, clasping them between his larger ones until
she tilted her head to look up at him.
Noticing the blood was on his T-shirt but not on his body, Steph
erased it from her mind as quickly as Torin had removed his shirt. The blood
wasn’t his. The complete quiet, the stillness of the room, with only her heart
beating in her ears in anticipation of feeling more of him made her hot. Sweat trickled down her back and between her
breasts as their eyes met, his body giving off heat like a furnace.
His stormy, gray eyes were roiling, molten clouds as he gazed at
her, searching.
She saw his jaw clench before he spoke, his raspy voice zinging
straight to her hot, wet core.
“I’m not what you’re used to. I don’t want to hurt you.”
Unable to think, she heard herself say, “I don’t want what I’m used
to.” Please.
Torin released her hands, and she curled her fingers around the
waist of his jeans, glancing up at him again, questioning. He was the kind of
man who insisted on taking the lead. That much she’d realized the minute she
met him, but in that tense moment, he seemed to need her encouragement.
Steph shook her head, still gazing into his eyes. “The only way
you’ll hurt me is if you walk away.” Then she gasped when Torin bent slightly,
wrapping one solid arm around her trembling thighs and the other around her
back. Before she could catch her breath, her breasts were flush against his
hard chest, and his generous lips covered her open mouth, stealing what little
breath she had left as warm cinnamon and spice converged on her taste buds.
Torin’s tongue swept into her mouth, exploring, commanding her body
to comply. She did, relaxing against him, her heart rate melding into the same
rhythm as his as she gripped his muscular shoulders with her nails and wrapped
her legs around his waist, holding on for dear life. More desperate for the
taste of him than air to breathe, she felt Mount V preparing to erupt in orgasm
from his kiss alone.
Finally able to take a breath, Steph leaned back enough in his arms
to glide her right hand between their bodies and down his chest as his hand
supported her back. She was enthralled by the feel of him, fiery and hard, yet
his skin gave beneath her fingertips. She’d wanted to touch him for so long, to
feel his touch on her body.
She tightened her thighs around his waist and used them to scoot
higher along his torso, climbing just like she’d envisioned, then leaned in,
hugging him to her, and wrapped her arms around his neck to touch his hair—that
thick, unruly, luxurious hair.
Torin reached back with one hand and pried her hands from him. She
nearly fought to hold on. Her stomach was plummeting, and she was terrified
that he wanted to stop, but he entwined their fingers, then slid his hand along
her arm, electrical currents sparking in his wake as he placed her hands on his
chest again, his large muscles vibrating under her fingertips.
