Alien Huntsman by Honey Phillips

A beauty marked for death. An alien shifter determined to protect her.

Tessa pours her heart into her family’s bakery, despite the constant demands from her cruel stepmother, Lenora. But when Lenora’s jealousy turns deadly, Tessa finds herself at the mercy of Korrin, a terrifyingly attractive Vultor bounty hunter.
Korrin neither likes nor trusts humans, but even he has his limits. Hired to make a beautiful, curvy woman disappear, he chooses to protect her instead, hiding her in the wilds of Cresca. But Tessa’s unexpected kindness and her determination to care for seven orphaned Adyani pups begin to thaw his icy heart.
A poisoned betrayal from someone Tessa once trusted forces Korrin to confront his deepest fears—and his growing feelings for the passionate woman who’s turned his world upside down.
Can a woman with a tender heart and an alien hunter with a guarded soul find their happily ever after?
