Jeanine must choose between the life she's always wanted, and the leopard shifter she desires. Jeanine knows there's safety in groups, and no group provides more protection than a pride of lion shifters. She is determined to catch the eye of a young lion shifter and convince him to choose her as his mate. There's one problem with her plan, and that's Adar—ruthless billionaire financier, scarred leopard shifter, and the only male she has ever desired. Leopards are solitary, territorial, and very protective of their mates. Jeanine is Adar's mate. She simply doesn't realize it yet, but she will... soon. Adar is ready to stake his claim on his small human, and he won't tolerate any male's encroachment on his turf. He's willing to fight to the death to prove he's the only big cat Jeanine needs.
