For five years, royal leopard shape-shifter Tonya Rose has been deep undercover at Westmoreland Securities. Her mission is to infiltrate, discover what happened to the other members of her team, and find proof of the CEO's orchestration of shape-shifter and human disappearances along the border of Texas and Mexico. Before he disappeared, one of her teammates hid the proof she needs, but her only clue to where is one cryptic email.When Tonya finally gets a look in the CEO's safe, she finds some interesting stuff, but nothing that really incriminates him. She snaps photos of everything to add to her growing files, but she soon discovers she didn't get away as clean as she thought. Her boss is on to her, and she has no choice but to run. Hopefully, she can get the information to someone else who can use it without exposing her real identity. Not even Tonya understands the lengths to which her boss will sink to protect his interests-he murders a security guard and frames her for it. Then, he hires shape-shifter bounty hunter Dakota Thunder to track her...a man who never misses his target.Scarred by his own past, Dakota knows exactly what his kind is capable of, and he'll do what it takes to see the guilty punished. But then, what should have been a routine bounty pick-up goes south, leaving him with the distinct impression justice isn't being served. He quickly finds himself embroiled in a deadly blood feud involving shifter-trafficking, extortion, and murder, and it all revolves around his pick-up: one wise-cracking beauty of royal leopard descent. She gets under his skin, digging her claws into his heart and stirring up desires buried long ago.Both of them thought they were prepared for everything, but nothing could have prepared them for their explosive passion or Westmoreland's depravity. With nowhere else to turn and time running out, Tonya has no choice but to trust the last man who should ever believe her-or watch a madman destroy everything she loves.
