I’d pretty much given up on family. Raised in the foster system, I’ve always been on my own and thought it would be that way forever. But now I have a new cat shifter pride, I’ve been reunited with the father who never knew I existed, and I have a new love—my Alpha, Anthony Holder. Anthony is my fated mate, and I’m drawn to him like I’ve never been to another person. Our bond is hot and irresistible, and for the first time I see a future no longer marred by loneliness and solitude. But the rogue shifter who bit me is still out there, and he’s bent on vengeance against the Alpha, and everyone in the pride. If we don’t track him down before he strikes again, more innocents could be at risk, and that bright future could drift away before it even begins. Not to mention, an even bigger threat lurks on the horizon . . .

I, Maury Powell, am hunting a dark witch who is threatening my newfound family. She strikes from the shadows, casting spells to attack and harass the cat shifter pride. Then, she murders my stepmother, leaving her brutalized body in the bayou. It is up to me and my fated mate, Alpha Anthony Holder, to track down the witch and protect the pride . . . and our unborn baby. But the witch seems to be one step ahead, having secured a deadly weapon that could destroy the pride from the inside out. With time running out and everything I love on the line, I must be strong enough to stand up to the darkness and protect my family from the forces of evil?
