About the book
Taber & Roni: He had protected her as a child, filled all her teenaged fantasies, and as a woman, he stole her heart. Only to break it.
Now, fifteen months later, the news has released. The man she loves is one of the genetically altered Feline Breeds who have shocked the world with their presence. He's also her mate. The mark on her neck attests to that. The fire that rages in her heart and in her body further proves it. But he hadn't wanted her then; does he really want her now?
Deceit and treachery, born in the past, now haunt the present as Taber and Roni fight to make sense of a sudden bonding. The mating of heart, body and soul as the man and the beast within merge; both battling the forces raging against the union and dominance over the woman he claimed.
The series: "The Breeds" are genetically engineered human-animal hybrids to be used and sold as slaves for sex, super soldiers, or assassins. They escaped their abusers and have now just come out of hiding. The world at large is freaking out over their existence, and various giant corporations and secret government black-ops divisions would love to re-enslave them. Note: Stories may contain adult relationships.
