Vigilante's Dare Cera Daniels

For small-town girl Emily Barton, running her animal-assisted therapy clinic in the big city is mayhem enough without slotting gun-toting kidnappers, a talking owl, and a half-naked, masked criminal into her planner. Unfortunately, that's just what this animal empath has to do when sensationalist headlines catch a deranged syndicate boss's attention. He won't be denied: Emily will heal his son's terminal cancer, or she will die. Good thing her masked protector won't be denied either: Jay will keep Emily safe, even if the cost is her heart. Jay McLelas, a.k.a. Ninja, has done more crime than crime-fighting lately. He's convinced he's too far over the gray line to be anything close to the white knight Emily deserves--the sweet, sensitive one he can only allow himself to be by the light of day. But a scorching, soul-binding kiss proves she's the key to stabilizing his supernatural night vision. He can't afford to let her go. If Jay can't keep the syndicate from hunting her, if he doesn't dare trust her with who he is and what he's done...how can he be worthy of her at all?
