About this book
Deep in the sultry, mist-covered Louisiana bayou, a gruesome discovery shatters the fragile peace for Saria Boudreaux. When she stumbles upon a body mauled by what appears to be a big cat, she faces a terrifying dilemma. Her own brothers are leopard shifters, and she knows all too well how quickly suspicion can turn into a death sentence for her family.
Enter Drake Donovan, a rugged leopard shifter sent to investigate the crime. He expects a routine mission, but from the moment he catches Saria’s scent, his primal instincts shift into overdrive. He knows instantly that she is his fated mate, sparking a tension-filled, slow-burn romance that simmers against the backdrop of a deadly hunt. As they navigate the treacherous wilderness together, the line between predator and prey blurs, and Saria finds herself drawn to the dangerous man she should be fearing.
This gripping urban fantasy delivers everything fans of the genre crave: high-stakes suspense, visceral shifter lore, and an undeniable chemistry that burns off the page. Christine Feehan masterfully balances edge-of-your-seat mystery with an intense, emotional bond, making this installment a must-read for anyone seeking a paranormal romance that bites back.

The female shifter can either accept or reject any leopard and of course will...

There he discovers an unknown lair with seven families. He also...
