Breed enforcer Braden Arness is sent to the desert of New Mexico to investigate the murder of two feline Breeds on the run. Braden's job is not only to find their killer, but to establish what (or who) the young Breeds were running toward. Created in a genetics lab, Breeds were engineered by the military to fight as the perfect soldier. Human and lion DNA combined to give the finished product an edge over humans. Trained under extreme conditions from childhood, only the toughest Breeds survive to serve their masters. Now, laws are being introduced to change the status of the Breeds. Laws that give them the same rights and standing as all other members of society. But not everyone's in favor of these laws. There are some, even at the highest levels of power, who'd rather see the Breeds retain their animal status -- to remain disposable. A powerful empath, Megan Fields has hidden herself in the lonely New Mexico desert, finding work as a sheriff's deputy. Close proximity to others sends Megan's psyche over the edge. Her "gift" didn't develop until her teens, later than most, and she's never learned how to shield herself from the pain of incoming emotions. Megan comes across the bodies of the two murdered Breeds while on routine patrol. As she investigates the site, someone opens fire on Megan. Luckily, Braden has arrived on the scene before her and neatly removes her from harm's way. The pair begin a prickly relationship, and sex is always very much part of the equation. Braden has a Breed's powerful sex drive, wants Megan and makes no secret of it, teasing her to the point of total distraction. Megan wants him just as badly and before long they're a mated pair. Braden is aware that Megan is the real quarry in the hunt for the killer. Someone wants her dead. He knows the mystery is buried deep in her memory. Something she's seen or heard in the past has made her the target of someone very powerful. Someone high up in the government. Someone she maybe knows and trusts. And true alpha Breed that he is, Braden will do anything to keep his mate safe and out of the line of fire. And true Breed mate that she is, Megan isn't so quick to hide under the bed while her man takes all the risks and has all the fun. The desert is the perfect setting for MEGAN'S MARK. You can practically see the steam rising off the pages. Ms. Leigh started her Breed series while she was writing for Ellora's Cave, and MEGAN'S MARK features the type of erotic sex scenes that the imprint is known for. More and more authors of erotica are being published in the more customer affordable, mass market size. Not that the trades aren't worth their price, but romance readers tend to buy a lot of books each month, and it's nice when most of them can be mass market releases. As with most romance fiction, you don't have to have read the early Feline Breed books to enjoy MEGAN'S MARK.
