A female Prowl Leader? Unthinkable. It's what Becca Duran has dealt with since the sudden, tragic death of her brother. Now, the leopard council demands she mates an alpha, whether she loves him or not.

Given no choice, Becca takes a chance on Gerri Wilder's PDA. It should be simple. Get a match and move on. Except, it's not. It's hard (thick and hard) with large muscles and a panty-wetting smile. Jaylon Ross has thirty days to find a mate to help solidify his pack or face the consequences of an unhappy council. Forcing his hand, he makes an appointment with Gerri for help, but stumbles into the answer to his prayers in the heart of Manhattan.

A sexy, curvy, sarcastic feline he dreams of stroking and wants to hear purr. The two collide and more than instant sparks ignite with an attraction neither can ignore. Of course, nothing is as easy as it seems. Becca's past and Jaylon's present throw a monkey wrench into what should be so simple. Now they fight to find a way to stay together. Oh, and alive.
