She just wants his protection and his packs protection. Of course when Sarah first sets eyes on him he’s in jail for a murder he didn’t commit but she’s given him an alibi and agreed to get him out of jail. ![]() And two, if he doesn’t stop stoking Sarah’s animal lust, it’s only a matter of time before her own wild side gets unleashed.

Sometimes when I read books I think "wow, I'd love to live in the world this person has created " with The Pervert, Perez has written a book where I think "wow, I already do live in the world this person has created."
