When her two best friends forget her birthday, crushing her, Jess is amazed when one of the infamous Pride brothers shows up, apparently wanting nothing more than to sweep her off her feet. Jezebel's life will never be the same, and though she is sure the relationship is only temporary, Jezebel embraces the attention Brandon showers on her.

Brandon has found his mate. He is overjoyed, his lion content, but then he suddenly finds all is not easy in love, at least not when you are a lion shifter with a human mate totally unaware of the paranormal world. Now, Brandon must not only reveal the existence of shifters to his mate, but also tell her of the very real threat they fight against.

Will Jezebel be able to accept everything that comes with being a shifter's mate? Or will the truth be too much, sending her running back to the familiar, safe harbor of the human world?
