Part of Leopard People, book 10
First published 2018
Timur Amurov lives by one rule: guard his family against all threats. The leopard shifter's violent past shaped him into a deadly protector who trusts no one. When his sister-in-law Evangeline hires a petite blonde barista named Ashe Bronte for her San Antonio bakery, Timur's instincts scream danger. Ashe is clearly hiding secrets, yet her presence does something unprecedented. She quiets the savage beast that constantly rages within him. Ashe knows her weakness for dangerous men, and Timur embodies everything she should avoid. She came to San Antonio with a mission that cannot include falling for a ruthless shifter. Still, Timur awakens something primal in her that grows stronger with each encounter. Both fight the magnetic pull between them while Timur investigates whether Ashe poses a real threat to his family.
