A lioness must guard a geek who has a target on his back so big that the federal government is involved. Is this one case that the agency will have to hand over?
Pilar Douglas is a lion shifter working as a bodyguard while supporting her younger sister. She'd never thought that taking a job would lead to her finding her mate, until she steps into Maverick's condo and her inner lioness screams mine!
Maverick Wilcox wants to find a cure for the disease that took his sister from him, but his efforts have been noticed by the wrong people. Now, a local group wants him to use his big brain for their own schemes, and they'll stop at nothing to make him join them. But he's not interested. All Maverick wants is to get to know the beautiful Pilar a little better and get her to date him.
When Maverick is poisoned, he's ready to die instead of agreeing to help these bad guys. Even when they offer him the antidote, he says no. Fortunately, Pilar has the agency's special serum on hand to neutralize the poison. Only now, Maverick is a big bad alpha shifter, and he's the one calling the shots!
