How to Trust a Hellhound

Wilder

Angels, demons, hellhounds, Nephilim, and a whole host of other non-mortals-my pack of adopted hellhound sons sure knows how to pick a place. And yet somehow, the most interesting one of all is the sad, quiet human who's become friends with the pack. Helping people heal and learn to trust is a specialty of mine, but I don't see Josh as someone to adopt-my hellhound sees him as a mate. The problem? Josh doesn't believe in anything supernatural. Plus, there's the vicious and oddly hard to track ex-boyfriend, the meddling but strangely helpful sheriff, the delicate side project I'm working on, and the immortal evil rich guy running around. As I said, my boys sure know how to pick a town.

Josh

I'm the boring one. No imagination. No fun. In control. My ex-boyfriend taught me how to let loose and explore things, but then he changed... or maybe I just realized who he truly was. I want someone who cares for me, not someone who controls me, but I don't think Rick will let me go easily. Everyone is willing to help, though, including the handsome dad of my best friend's boyfriend. My inappropriate feelings for him aren't helping matters, though. Not to mention that the more I hang out with everyone, the more my writer friend's supernatural stories suddenly don't seem so far-fetched. Something is strange about Paradise Falls, and I can't help but think that Wilder is more involved than he lets on.

Tags: It's always the quiet ones (wink, wink); Josh doesn't believe in hellhounds, but they believe in him; Wilder is just the hellhound to give Josh all the comfort and healing he needs; Helene is the best therapist for someone who's been wronged; the entire pack gets involved (of course) and chaos ensues; abusive ex-boyfriends always get what's coming to them; there's torture and death (but only of really bad people); hellhounds have tails, and they know how to use them.
