I run like there's fire blazing under my bare feet. The blood hasn't even dried on his knuckles, but it'll be the last time I play dead. I just want to be swallowed up and disappear. My name is Ruby Bonet, and even the bayou isn't big enough to hold some secrets. I never asked to be a clan leader. Never wanted the headache. I'm perfectly content with my motley crew of three, a good lay from time to time, and a cold beer - always. Damn if it doesn't look like the swamp holds other plans for Kingston Mercier. Marked by the Bear is the first in the Terrebonne Parish Shifter series. If you like T.S. Joyce and P. Jameson, you'll fall in love with this yummy shifter series!
