Love or power? For Panther-shifter Tomas Montoya, choosing between them may cost him everything...

When Tomas found his mate Maru Yoshida in the Asian Pride, he thought he'd discovered his perfect future. But fate had other plans. Now, with his grandfather's death, Tomas has been thrust into a dangerous game of Panther politics as heir to the powerful South American Pride. Sent to North America to forge crucial alliances, he's torn between his growing responsibilities and his fierce devotion to Maru.

For Maru, life has become an endless maze of political machinations she never wanted. Gone are her peaceful days as a graphic artist. Instead, she's surrounded by strangers, watching her mate drift further away as he juggles Pride duties and his father's relentless demands. The only time they truly connect is in the dark of night, when passion temporarily drowns out their problems.

But when an attack on Maru reveals hidden enemies within the Pride, Tomas must make an impossible choice. Will he choose the power his father demands he embrace, or risk everything to protect the woman who holds his heart?

In this sexy, intense shifter romance, even the strongest bonds are tested when Panthers play deadly games...
