About the Book:
Never be so foolish as to fall for the enemy…
Special wolf agent Jillian Matthews has joined the jaguar-run United Shifter Force to track down a deadly criminal. She’s even willing to work with PI Vaughn Greystroke—until the hot, growly SEAL wolf makes the mistake of getting in her way. Naturally, she shoots him. Who could blame her?
Vaughn Greystroke has always worked alone. But when a string of attempted murders puts him in the crosshairs, teaming up with the Shifter Force begins to sound like a good idea. Even if he has to work with alluring—and potentially treacherous—Jillian Matthews. Vaughn is a trained SEAL, after all. He can surely keep his distance from Jillian...no matter how much she’s getting under his skin.

Read an Excerpt from SEAL Wolf Undercover by Terry Spear:
Formerly an army intelligence officer and now a PI,
Jillian Matthews had agreed to go out with her brother Miles’s friend as a
favor, but man did the guy have octopus arms. Oh sure, he was fun, but way more
interested than she was. The guy several tables over, now he got her attention. If she didn’t know any better, she’d say he
was all wolf, though some human males showed the same wolfish interest in a
woman, even if she was with someone else. She’d never think about dumping a guy
on a date when he was being nice, especially when it was to pay her brother
back for his help in solving one of her cases. But she’d made sure she said it
was only one date, unless she changed her mind.
Everything about the club was a blast—the music, drinks,
dancers, and atmosphere—yet the man at the other table truly stole her
attention tonight.
“Did you want to return here tomorrow night?” Miles
asked.
She smiled at her brother. She’d love to if the other
guy was going to be here. He had dark
hair, chiseled features, tanned biceps. He was muscular but not overdone, and
had a darkly, intriguing smile that made her melt.
“Sure,” she said, secretly wishing she could see tall,
dark, and intriguing. Maybe tomorrow he would ask her to dance or she’d ask
him. The guy’s own date looked bored and Jillian hadn’t seen him dance until
women began asking him. As soon as a blond did, it was like a signal to other
single women that he was interested and available. If Jillian had been without
a date, even she would have asked him to dance. She’d help him move that
gorgeous body right up close and personal. Her own date wasn’t interested in
dancing with anyone else, so she curbed the inclination. She could envision
hanging onto the guy too, if he still piqued her interest and not allow any
other woman to take a turn with him.
“Hey, you ready to go?” Miles asked, breaking into her
fantasy. “If I’m going to help you on that next case, I need some sleep.”
His date was a human woman, and Jillian knew her brother
too well. Sleep wasn’t what he had in mind at all.
“Yeah, agreed.”
“I can take you back to your hotel,” her date said, as
if he were looking for some mattress action too.
“Oh, thanks so much, but no, that’s fine. Miles is
right. We have to get up before the crack of dawn.”
She and Miles rose from the table, Jillian’s date not
making a move to leave. “See you tomorrow night then,” he said.
Not if she could help it. She gathered her sweater and
bag, and though she didn’t want to seem too obvious that she was interested in
the other guy, she glanced back at him. He inclined his head a little to her
and her whole body flushed with heat.
He was so hot. Yeah, he was the date she wanted tomorrow
night, whether he had a date with him
or not.
Then suddenly a scream caught Jillian’s attention. One
of the corner chains holding a dancer’s platform had broken loose, and the
dancer on it screamed again. Thank God the dancer had reacted quickly enough to
grab one of the remaining four chains holding it up before she fell. Dangling
twenty feet above the patrons, she clung precariously to the end of the chain,
looking up as if she was thinking of trying to climb up it. Before Jillian
could do anything, the wolfish guy she had been admiring had climbed the ladder
to the platform. He leapt to one of the chains still holding the platform, and
shimmied across the top of it to reach the chain the dancer was holding onto.
The music was still in heavy jungle beat mode, most
patrons unaware of the potential tragedy unfolding before them. Jillian rushed
to tell a server to get help and to turn off the music so the guy rescuing the
woman could concentrate.
“Hell, that’s part of the show,” the server said,
smiling at her. “You’re not from around here, are you?”
“The guy trying to rescue her is part of it too?”
The server glanced up at him. “No. Once in a blue moon
we get some hero type that has to show off how macho he is. He must not be from
around here either.”
“He could injure himself! Kill himself even!”
“Safety nets spring up and will catch them if they fall.
We’ve only had one case where we’ve had to use them, and everyone, including
the would-be hero, loved it.”
Then the man managed to climb down the chain to the
woman and had her crawl up his body. As agile as she was, she probably could
have made it up the chain by herself if the heroic guy hadn’t tried to rescue
her. The dancer wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck as
he made the treacherous climb up.
Even so, Jillian was practically holding her breath. The
visitor wasn’t part of the show, and any misstep on his part could mean the two
of them could fall. Maybe he knew this was part of the show. Maybe the waiter
didn’t realize it.
The music was still playing, but a lot more of the
patrons had stopped to watch, probably because only once in a blue moon someone came to the dancer’s rescue.
At the top edge of the platform, the guy made his way
across the wooden edge until he reached the next corner chain. He paused there
for the longest time. The music was still playing, the only lights the ones
highlighting the dancers on their platforms. The other dancers no longer moved,
riveted by their fellow dancer and the heroic guy. If he jumped to the ladder
and missed, that would be the end of the show, and the dancer and the good
Samaritan would fall. What if the net didn’t appear in time?
Jillian wanted to do something, anything to help him.
All she could do was lamely watch and pray he was successful.
