I never should've taken that shortcut...One terrible night, sixteen-year-old Melanie Johnson is tackled to the ground by a masked man intent on killing her- or worse. Her savior, a large black dog with soulful eyes, vanishes as quickly as he appears... just before she faints. Her long-time crush finds her, making a vow to keep her safe. He's affectionate, supportive and protective...the stuff dreams are made of. But he is something more than he seems...
