Can two broken men find peace from the past?Elliot is a survivor. Raised in a strict community where might makes right, Elliot runs off in search of a better life. When Nox Bay rescues him from the Black Hands, he’s on his own for the first time in his life…and the tall, muscular bodyguard the pack Alpha keeps around keeps doing funny things to his heart. But Elliot isn’t into guys…right?… guys…right?
Arric is a hardened warrior and the Second Hand of the Nox Bay Pack. He’s seen too much death and destruction to get too attached to anyone, and that suits him just fine. He’s basically married to the job anyway. But when a small, broken omega crosses his path and needs his help, he realizes that fate has a match in store for him after all. Can he let down his guard long enough to fall in love, and can they both put their pasts behind for a better future?
When Elliot’s old flight of dragon shifters find out where he is, they’ll be back for blood. And this time, they control one of the four pivotal Keys of Life–an elemental reckoning is coming, and it might just be enough to tear them apart.
Will their fledgling love survive the flames?
Protecting His Heart is the second book in the Nox Bay Pack series. It’s meant to be a quick, fun read you can enjoy over your lunch break or before bed, and continues the story that began in Stealing His Heart. Within these pages, you’ll find mpreg elements, found family, no cheating, and always a happily ever after! Welcome to the pack <3

A sequel that earned it’s place in the lineup for sure. But I wish it were longer. There is so much going on, so much story, so many elements, that it should be turned into a novel. I really enjoyed this one and found it even more interesting than the first, though I wasn’t sure this story’s events could outshine Felix. Even though Arric spends a lot of time squashing and denying his feelings and urges what builds between him and Elliot turns into something memorable. The dragons, female alphas, stones, and powers were all attention-grabbing. Though I will say the pregnancy testing stone part was a bit…strange, it was something I was willing to overlook in favor of just enjoying the overall story. 3.5 rounded up.
Elliot and Arric were just perfect! They had me pulled in to the story. I loved how this second book carried on from the first. I can’t wait to read more of the Nox Bay Pack. This was a great afternoon read with the sexy scenes being flawlessly done! I Loved it!
4.5 stars
Heat Level: 3.5
Full of action, adventure, heart, and healing!!
I loved this story!!! Elliot and Arric are perfect together. I love that Arric waited for his fated mate and I loved that he was able to help Elliot heal from his torturous past of being downtrodden and made to feel broken. The story is incredibly fast-paced and short but so detailed and action-packed you can’t help but be hooked. I’m still in awe that so much can happen and so many feelings and connection can be generated between reader and story with so few words. A true talent, Connor!!!
I love this pack and all the characters and I can’t wait to see what Connor will do next. I look forward to more of Markus & Felix. Elliot & Arric and all the other fated mates to come from this unique pack.
