Default Siberian Husky, shy and afraid of my bf.

I recently purchashed a 1 year old Husky, she's very sweet,and
suprisingly enough she actually listens to me. But she is terrified of
my boyfriend for no reason, her previous owner (male) kept her in a
cage all day and never socialized her, when I walk her she doesn't care
too much for other humans, a bit shy, but shows fear of my boyfriend.
I used to breed German Shepherds, so Husky is a change for me, they are
much different. Any ideas on how she can get used to him? (He walks
her a lot, sometimes feeds her, tries to play with her..giving her, her
own space.. nothing works)

Also, I'm well aware that Huskies are not guard dogs, but, are there
any training methods I can work with her on to make her not so "shy"
around humans, I would like to try and teach her to respect humans but
protect her "pack" if need be. Probably an almost impossible task, but
other than her shyness I believe she has the potential.
