Part of Leopard People, book 9
First published 2017
Joshua Tregre grew up in Louisiana's bayou country but learned to fight in Borneo's rainforests. Now he's back home to take control of a criminal organization in the swamplands. His leopard shifter instincts serve him well in the violent underworld, but they can't prepare him for his neighbor. She transforms broken things into beauty, including her own damaged life. Dangerous men have hurt her, yet her spirit remains unbroken. Joshua finds himself drawn to her strength, even though revealing his true leopard nature could destroy everything. In Christine Feehan's Leopard series, shifters navigate both criminal enterprises and matters of the heart. Joshua must balance his role leading the syndicate with his growing attraction to a woman who represents everything he thought he couldn't have.
