Filled with fear and dread, Saria writes for help only to find her letter pinned with a knife to the bottom of her pirogue. Desperate, she prevails upon the local priest during confession to post a letter for her.

Unknown to Saria, help arrives in the form of Drake Donovan, a powerful leopard shifter. Sent in secret by the landowner to investigate the deaths in the swamp, Drake is rocked with his intense attraction to Saria recognizing her as his mate.
