Remaining a virgin was never my plan, but when the dangerously sexy shifter saves my life, my scientific brain battles my suddenly very needy body to become what he claims we are—fated mates. KARA WILDWOOD I’m a witch with a dream and a botanist with a goal. Both have brought me to Brazil, the Amazon jungle, to be exact. Days into my research, demons appear, driving me to take shelter in the jungle's canopy and a treehouse. Wait, a treehouse? I had no clue I was in Tarzan’s territory. But it’s no ordinary backyard treehouse. And when its owner arrives, his gaze is hungry, and his words border on the edge of crazy. This has to be a fever dream. Right? ROANE SMYTHE Just when I’d given up hope of discovering my mate, my mother of all people gives me her my mate has somehow discovered my magically cloaked jungle home. Racing through a portal to reach her, I battle demons sent to kidnap her, then deal with my bickering parents just as Kara finally begins to accept me and my panther. But time isn’t on our side and it’s not long before the real enemy recovers his full strength. Kara’s everything I ever wanted, but she makes me work to prove my love is real, prophecy or not. What she doesn’t realize is that once challenged, my panther never backs down. *** This book is part of the Mated to the Monster multi-author monster romance series.
