Nyla is a cat. So is Lucas. Nyla is an Egyptian descendant of Bast. Lucas isn't. In fact, he's so far off the scale of high falutin' lineages, he's precariously tipped them. That's because he's a tomcat. Nyla and Lucas have been friends for over a year since they met at a shifters' meet and greet. Until one day, Nyla smells what Lucas has smelled all along. Her lifemate. What does any good pair of lifemates do when they have to seal the deal? A little bump and grind, but who knew the bump and grind meant floggers and spankings and a host of kinky stuff Nyla had no clue Lucas liked. Nyla is vanilla. Lucas is not. Lucas is a Dominant who enjoys just a smidge of rocky road with his bedroom pleasures. Nyla never considered herself submissive. No one is the boss of her. However, these lifemates are about to embark on a journey that will take them both to places they'd never considered. Oh, and it never hurts to mention that Nyla's family is a snobbish, upper crust bunch of shifters who will probably want nothing more than to see to it that Lucas and Nyla's newly acquired lifemate status is revoked by the lifemate council. It's High Society meets the ASPCA with a decided twist.
