     Lioness shifter Debi Fallon doesn't have time for romance, let alone any opportunity to meet fellow shifters. With most of her lion pride in prison, she's living in a cheap apartment, pulling long hours at a small accounting firm, and struggling to prove to herself that she's not a failure and to everyone else that she's not a criminal like the rest of her family. But she's never met a human like her firm's latest client, real estate magnate Fletcher Briggs. The moment Debi walks into Fletcher's office, her lioness recognizes the alpha lurking under Fletcher's all-too-human skin. He's strong and sexy, dominant in the boardroom and gentle in the bedroom—in short, he's everything she's ever wanted. But it's just a job, right? Debi would never fall for a human. The idea is unthinkable. In a week she'll be out of here. Never mind the fact that she's started to bond with his cute little daughter, or the way she and her lioness melt at Fletcher's touch ... Fletcher's had enough bad experiences with shifters to last a lifetime. The last thing Fletcher needs is another troublesome shifter female in his life. He's already dealing with his soon-to-be-ex and her snake-shifter mafia family trying to take him for everything he owns, a brutal custody battle over his cherished four-year-old daughter, and the unique challenges of raising a child who turns into a tiny, adorable, deadly snake. But now here comes tall, sexy Debi, a blonde with an attitude, clawing right through his defenses and straight into his heart. His plans for lifelong celibacy just went out the window ... if he can let his guard down and open his wounded heart to the possibility of finding love in a lioness's arms. Can two ambitious people overcome their pride and prejudice enough to realize the only thing missing from their lives is each other? What's more important, victory or love? ************ A steamy standalone in a brand new series set in the Shifter Agents universe. Shifter women + human men = action-filled days and red-hot nights!
