Deuces Wild - Ridgeville

Squirrel shifter Elly has been captured by Freedom, beaten, and then handed off to be raped. Only her new hotter-than-hell jailor, Deuce Pierce, isn't keen on forcing her and is all about saving her curvy, furry ass and getting her to safety. After she's freed, she can't forget about the lion who saved her life, and she hunts for him, determined to find the man who haunts her. The council has tried to keep Deuce separated from Elly, convinced he's abused her in some way, as if he would hurt his mate.
He finally beats (literally) her location out of one of their soldiers, only to find she lives in the hometown he'd vowed to leave behind. His lush squirrel may be happy to see him, but the townspeople and their families take up where the council left off. Good thing he and Elly have wicked teeth, sharp claws, a gun or two, and more love than any two people ought to share. Because no one is going to separate them, come hell, high water, or shot-out knees.
