First published 2014
Rule Breaker lives by three absolute laws. Never sleep with humans. Never trust Jonas Wyatt's lies about female missions. Run from any woman who triggers Mating Heat. The Lion Breed enforcer has followed these rules without exception. Then she appears. Rule Breaker thinks she has mated with him, but the signs confuse him. No swollen glands. No fever. Just his inner animal going crazy when she's not around. She's defenseless, fun loving, and alive in ways that make protection nearly impossible. His beast chose poorly if it wants a mate. She could be attacked at any moment. Their passionate relationship shatters every Mating Heat protocol. Rule Breaker can handle breaking his own rules. The real danger comes when Jonas discovers she might be working against the Breeds. The very laws meant to protect his people now threaten to destroy the woman his animal has claimed.
