Emily "Tock" Meyerson-Jackson tracks shifters who traffic humans for sport and profit. She has identified a coalition of male lions as her primary targets. This honey badger shifter lets nothing interfere with her missions, especially not Shay Malone, a tiger shifter who plays football and struggles with punctuality. Shay might be charming, but Tock has work to do. Cat families are preparing for war, and she cannot waste time with distractions. Everything changes when Tock discovers the same coalition killed Shay's father. She must partner with the flirtatious tiger to pursue their shared enemies. Shay wants revenge for his father's death, and his tiger brothers support the mission. He also wants to seduce his fierce partner, who shows her fangs constantly but looks adorable doing it. Tock proves herself a formidable honey badger, but Shay knows how to generate heat between them. Their investigation brings them closer as they pursue justice and navigate their growing attraction.
