Synopsis

Born to be enemies. Destined to be lovers.

After killing one of her father’s enforcers, half-blood lion shifter Jillian Winters ran for her life, landing in an upscale bar halfway across the country. Her boss, Carrick—a pure-blood shifter—has no idea his barmaid is a fugitive. When her father’s recklessness puts the Pride at risk, Jillian must return home and assume his place as Alpha. But not before she indulges in a taste of the attraction that’s been building for years between her and Carrick.

Carrick Granger has had a soft spot for Jillian from the moment she stepped into his bar, soaking wet and afraid of her own shadow. He knows she has secrets. So does he. He’s also the outcast son of an Alpha—and now that his father is dead, he, too, has been summoned home.

Thinking they’ll never see each other again, the simmering heat between them ignites like a match to gunpowder. But then the bullets start flying, forcing them to choose—duty to their Prides, or the one person they can’t live without.

Warning: This book contains deception, lies, betrayal, a sexy lion who is determined to claim his mate, and a mating bond that will change the landscape of the Prides forever.

Chapter One

It was half a degree past freezing as Jillian stumbled across the snow-covered pavement. When she’d decided to return to the Pride, her only thought had been to erase the life she’d been living for the past three years here in St. Louis. As usual, she’d jumped into action instead of taking a second to think things through. Now, as she stood alone in an empty back alley in the middle of the city, she was having second thoughts. But the bar where she worked was only a few blocks ahead, so she decided to plow through. However, the harder she tried to get to the rear entrance, the more Mother Nature threw at her. Now the wind had picked up. It whipped around her, seeping beneath her coat to slip under the silk of her blouse and lick her already frozen skin.
Her beast had been near the surface for days, making her antsy and ready to fight. It had nearly exploded from her body when she’d gotten the call. She’d managed to control her lion for three years, mainly because work at the local pub kept her busy and allowed her to channel her nervous energy into something productive. She’d found salvation pouring drinks and pretending to be human. She’d shifted a few times, in the early hours of the morning when the need would not be silenced. But she had been in control, not the beast. That tiny sliver of freedom had been immensely satisfying.
Tonight, the Pride had stolen that from her as well. She’d be damned if they’d hurt the friends she’d left behind. So, here she was, in the wee hours of the morning, breaking and entering to cover up every trace of her existence. She kicked at the knee-high snowdrift beside the back entrance, and the street lamp beside her sizzled, then died. She jumped back, her eyes quickly adjusting to the pitch-black.
