Can Bob Redstone help a shifter woman face the demons that shadowed her youth, or will they both fall while trying to prevent disaster? On a mission far from home, he finds a sweet vulnerable lady... Bob is a cougar shifter, one of the elite Redstone Alphas. On a mission for his Clan, he meets a fragile young woman and finds himself drawn to her as he's never been drawn to a woman before. A woman with a brutal past... Serena is a bobcat shifter. Orphaned as a child, she was raised among humans until she was discovered by a Clan of unscrupulous bobcat shifters. Adopted by a shifter couple, she was beaten on a regular basis because she refused to be a mule for their drug trade across the US-Canadian border. She doesn't have a lot of experience with men, but when she meets Bob Redstone, she finds him nearly irresistible. A savage attack... When their haven comes under siege, they take to the road. Bob has been tasked with keeping her safe, but they're also on a mission to find a mysterious warrior-shaman who's gone off the grid. Finding him means returning to Serena's former territory and possibly confronting those who abused her trust, but they have no other choice. Can she overcome her past to embrace a future with Bob, or will the evil in her former Clan overpower their fragile, fledgling relationship?
