Her Unwanted Defender: Hot Shadows

By Vonna Harper

Raw and real.

Maco Durant's expected arrival at Shari Afton's dog training facility should mean only one thing—the money she'll get from selling two highly trained guard dogs to the owner of his remote construction company. Just because his voice on the phone stirs something deep inside—no, she won't think about the nights she spends with her dark, erotic dreams!

She's outside waiting for him when a bullet hits Ona. Terrified for the gentle mutt who is her best friend, she's carrying Ona to safety when Maco takes over. Thankfully, the dog will survive. Shari and Maco curse whoever was responsible for what had to have been a stray bullet.  

Their relationship moves fast, too fast. Supporting herself via her canine expertise has been everything for Shari, the best way to move beyond old nightmares. She'll let Maco touch her, make love with her, but nothing else.

As the survivor of a failed marriage, Maco knows not to get involved, especially not with this independent yet vulnerable woman. He'll protect her while keeping things casual—somehow. His body demands hers, but the physical aspect is all there'll ever be between them.

Unless the bullet that started everything wasn't an accident.    

Like many of Vonna Harper's dark erotic romances, Her Unwanted Defender was written for readers drawn to hot romances.

Out of control imagination. Maybe I should have the words tattooed on me, but then I’d have to try to explain what it means. My imagination or creativity or whatever you call it is beyond my control. I’m along for the ride and what a ride it has been! I’ve written erotica and erotic romance in nearly every form there is from spanking to shape-shifting, from primitive tribes to science fiction. Many of those books revolve around capture and or submissive themes. I’m intrigued by the dynamics of powerful men and helpless women, how they begin as enemies but eventually realize they fill the emotional holes in each other. Freud, if he hadn’t been so hung up on his crazy belief that only damaged people fantasize, might have tried to understand dom/submissive dynamics. Looks like he left that up to me and other like-minded writers. My most recent releases, His Purchase and His Filly are spanking stories. They take place in an alternative world ruled by The Society which is made up of the Elites or ruling class and the Others. Needless to say, self-confident male Elites make liberal use of spanking to try to keep spirited but powerless female Others in line.  I can be reached at [e-mail] and am on Facebook as Vella Munn and Vonna Harper.
