  _Book 3 in the Mating Heat
  
  
  series._
  
  
  
  
  
  Brand meets his dream girl in
  
  
  college—a half-human, half-leopard shapeshifter who cannot shift. Werewolves
  
  
  and cats are natural enemies but the power of their sexual chemistry
  overwhelms
  
  
  them. She steals his heart and makes him whole. When she abandons him it
  
  
  fractures his world and he knows no woman can ever take her place. Though many
  
  
  seek his attention, he is cold and unattainable.
  
  
  The love they share is soul deep
  
  
  but the fate of Charma’s family lies in her hands. The memory of every heated
  
  
  touch they share will cut out both their hearts when she leaves him but to
  save
  
  
  them all, she must run. After nine years of desolation and heartbreak Charma
  is
  
  
  back. She risks forfeiting her life to warn Brand of an impending attack but
  
  
  she doesn’t hesitate. Brand has her in his arm
