A frightened but determined BBW + a sexy lion shifter martial artist + a dangerous enemy = one UNFORGETTABLE romance! Curvy Samantha Holt is at the end of her rope. After getting laid off, she applied to every job she could, and finally got one … as a night security guard. With no training and no backup, she’s outside all night, every night. And one night, the odds catch up to her. Alpha lion shifter Dale Addison wasn’t expecting to rescue a gorgeous woman while out on an early-morning run, but once he has, he can’t get her out of his head. He lost his faith in destined mates a long time ago, and even if he had a mate, she certainly wouldn't be a human ... but he can’t stand thinking of Sam out there alone. When he invites her to take a self-defence class at his martial arts studio, it's not just to protect her—it's to keep her close. Sam and Dale’s connection can’t be denied. But can Dale admit to himself and his pride that he has a human mate? Can Sam find a lioness' heart inside of her? And what happens when Dale’s longtime enemy decides that Sam is the leverage he needs to make himself alpha in Dale’s place? This is a sizzling hot, standalone BBW lion shifter romance. No cliffhangers!
