New Year. New World. New Species. In the depths of
the bayous lives a secret race of puma shifters. The
creation of a powerful magic, they have lived in peace until
the threat of extinction drives them to seek the world
beyond their homelands. Now the Pantera must discover the
answer to their dying magic and halt an ancient enemy before
it can destroy them all.
RAPHAEL The brilliant and dangerous diplomat of the
Pantera shapeshifters, Raphael has devoted his life to
discovering the key to the infertility that is threatening
the extinction of his puma race. Creating a vast network of
spies worldwide, he never expected to discover that the
answer might be beneath his very nose. But when Ashe, a
beautiful human female, crosses his path, his most primitive
instincts are stirred. Unable to resist, he takes her to his
bed, and is shocked when she becomes pregnant with his
child. It's a miracle that might prove to be the salvation
of his people, but only if he can keep her safe from the
mercenaries determined to kill her.
PARISH Untamed and undeniably sexy, Parish, leader of the
Pantera hunters, rarely leaves the magic of the Wildlands to
deal with the humans he despises. But with the prized and
risky Pantera birth on the way, puma shifter, Parish must
travel to New Orleans to find and bring back a human doctor.
The moment he sees the lovely, talented and all too human
Dr. Julia Cabot he cannot resist the wild, potent drive to
make her his. Betrayed and destroyed by love, Julia will not
let her heart choose her path again. But as she and Parish
fight to save the life of an unborn child, a fierce and
overwhelming bond develops between them, threatening her
frozen heart with the secret hope and ultimate temptation of
love and family.
