Mark Bruner is a bear caught in the middle. While Mark has always harbored feelings that his father's ancient clan might consider abhorrent, he's been able to keep them in check for years in order to better serve his family's needs. But in the fallout of his brother's ill-timed actions, the clan's financial empire begins to crumble and Mark finds himself with a plane ticket to Mumbai. Once aboard, he can't help but be shaken up by the tattooed shifter in a nearby seat, and those long-repressed feelings threaten to reemerge. Zeke Kaplan isn't like most tigers. Where any other tiger would prefer to roam wild and run free, Zeke has been desperately searching for the mate he knows can calm his inner-beast. So when he catches the eye of a weary-eyed bear with a chip on his shoulder, Zeke knows he's found the one. Convincing the sexy and broad-shouldered giant, however, turns out to be more than a little challenging. As Mark and Zeke's forbidden romance buds, an old and dangerous enemy rears his head once more, threatening to destroy everything that they've come to hold dear. When flight no longer remains an option, Mark and Zeke must fight back or lose each other forever. Can they overcome a force that would see them dragged into eternal dismay, or will they have to face a harsh truth and realize that sometimes romances should remain forbidden?
