Proud. Imperious. Impassioned. Until three years ago, those words
applied to Dominic Asher, the leader of Ash Valley. His family has ruled
the feline branch of the Animari for hundreds of years, guiding the
pride through perilous times. Unspeakable loss drove him into seclusion,
a feral beast nobody can tame. Now he's wrecked, a leopard king in
exile, and he wants nothing more than to die.
Fierce. Loyal. Determined. Fortunately for Dom, those words still apply
to Pru Bristow, his dead mate's best friend. She's had her heart broken,
too, but she never quits. With the conclave approaching, alliances with
the Pine Ridge pack and Burnt Amber clans on the verge of collapse,
she's prepared to do whatever it takes to drag their leader back, before
his second can start a war.
At best theirs seems like a desperate alliance, but when their mate bond
turns hot and fierce, there's no end to the questions and the doubts.
Neither of them expects to fall in love. But sometimes people don't know
what they're looking for until they find it.
