Part of Series

From Bestselling author, J.H. Croix, another steamy paranormal romance in her Catamount Lion Shifters Series! In Catamount, Maine where mountain lion shifters have existed in secret for centuries, the flint of desire stokes love between Lily North and Noah Jasper. Noah is tall, dark and dangerous, a shifter and military operative rolled into one. He is returning home to Catamount after years away to take care of his ailing mother. Lily tends to hide in the shadows of her family’s lore and has just about given up on the possibility of love. Lily and Noah come from opposite ends of the spectrum in Catamount with her family revered and Noah’s family not so much. A chance encounter throws Lily and Noah together. With Catamount in turmoil over the shifter smuggling network, the burdens of being a shifter lay heavily upon Lily. Noah instantly sees through Lily’s reserve to the wild, sexy core hidden behind the brainy, reserved woman on the outside. He wants her to the depths of his very being. Yet, his family’s troubled history is a burden he’s carried for years and the reason he doesn’t believe love is even possible. With her unassuming beauty, luscious curves and heart of many layers, Lily is a temptation Noah can’t resist. She kindles hope and dreams he’s never even considered. While events in Catamount continue to unfold, revealing more secrets, the desire between Lily and Noah burns hot and fast. Lily’s struggle to believe in what lies between them threatens their fragile connection. Noah joins forces with the other shifters in Catamount fighting to drive out the secrets that threaten them all. As Lily tries to come to terms with Noah’s love for her, he puts his life on the line to keep her and the rest of Catamount safe. In another love story filled with passion, steamy romance, suspense and adventure, Lily and Noah are tossed in the winds of desire and must discover if their love can hold them together through it all. *All books in this series end with HEA!
