Jacky Leon got away with it. She defended a little human girl, made a few unlikely acquaintances, and survived to tell the tale. Now she’s the only werecat in the supernatural community who can say a small family of werewolves lives in her borders. That isn’t a good thing, though.

My name is Kaliya Sahni. Obsession is a part of who I am. It’s a fatal character flaw I have a hard time overcoming. Before Raphael, before the mysteries surrounding him, I had another obsession.Who killed my family and why? Who wants my people extinct? I might finally have a chance to find the answers to those questions that have plagued me for over a century. Questions that have kept me up at night and ruined my friendships. That have woken me up, screaming as the nightmares haunted me... moreMy name is Kaliya Sahni. Obsession is a part of who I am. It’s a fatal character flaw I have a hard time overcoming.

I might finally have a chance to find the answers to those questions that have plagued me for over a century. Questions that have kept me up at night and ruined my friendships. That have woken me up, screaming as the nightmares haunted me.But it would be too easy to just walk away from a man like Raphael and he’s not ready for me to walk out of his life completely. A mate like no other, a cambion of great power, and an intelligent man who knows me too well, he figures out exactly how to pull me back in. Others have taken notice of the connection between us. Even my own people are asking about my relationship with the Warlord of the cambions and it scares me to think who else might see what's brewing between us.Desert storms wash the world away and leave it reborn…And a storm is coming for me. less

Jacky Leon is a member of the strongest werecat family alive; a family that commands the loyalty of every werecat that walks the face of the earth. Her family is the definition of power and none have dared challenge that for millennia. It’s not a legacy she’s comfortable with but it’s the one she’s been given and Jacky is resolved to do her best with her new responsibilities... moreJacky Leon is a member of the strongest werecat family alive; a family that commands the loyalty of every werecat that walks the face of the earth. Her family is the definition of power and none have dared challenge that for millennia. It’s not a legacy she’s comfortable with but it’s the one she’s been given and Jacky is resolved to do her best with her new responsibilities. When rogue werecats begin to test Jacky’s territory, paranoia mounts as questions go unanswered and lives are potentially at stake. The greatest werecat family of all time is about learn a valuable lesson, and Jacky is going to have to suffer the most before it’s through with them. Loyalty is worthless when it’s broken. less

Everyone has something to fear.I fear going home.Over a century ago, I left my homeland and my people. I’ve never gone back. I’ve deprived myself of the community for a variety of reasons, both good and bad. I made the decision, regardless of the consequences, and never looked back.Now, I don’t have a choice and Raphael is coming along for the ride. Politics, revelations, mating, and responsibility all point to the inevitable. I need to make the long trip home... moreEveryone has something to fear.I fear going home.Over a century ago, I left my homeland and my people. I’ve never gone back.

Politics, revelations, mating, and responsibility all point to the inevitable. I need to make the long trip home. Back to the place I spent my childhood. Back to the place where my family died.

I’m one of those legends.My name is Kaliya Sahni and fear will no longer hold me back. less

This fight has always been my destiny.In a previous life, I had run from it, and that choice was the death of me.

I live a happy life. I have a lover that I am quickly falling for. I have friends and family that rely on me to keep my territory safe and secure for them. My bar’s business is booming.But I’ve made enemies, some that I know and some that I don’t. Hate for me and the life I’m building is creeping in the darkness.Hate can be insidious. It can stain the purest of hearts and fog the sharpest of minds. It can come from the most unlikely of places... moreI live a happy life. I have a lover that I am quickly falling for.

Hate for me and the life I’m building is creeping in the darkness.Hate can be insidious. It can stain the purest of hearts and fog the sharpest of minds. It can come from the most unlikely of places. It can show up behind a smile just as easily as at the end of the barrel of a gun. It comes in many shades, coloring the way people see the world and each other.My name is Jacky Leon. I’m a werecat, a daughter of Hasan. I’ve fought for what I believe in and will do so until my last breath but…Everything I’ve built is being threatened and I didn’t see it coming. less

I’m Jacqueline, daughter of Hasan, ruling werecat of the Americas, the werecat liaison to humanity, and the lover of Heath Everson, Alpha werewolf. But I go by Jacky Leon and no one knows about the werewolf.Some time ago, I met a fae and his family while on the run. They helped me, and for his own reasons, the fae had given me a gift. I never went looking for him. I knew the name he gave me and I did my best not to think too hard about it, him, or his family... moreI’m Jacqueline, daughter of Hasan, ruling werecat of the Americas, the werecat liaison to humanity, and the lover of Heath Everson, Alpha werewolf.

I never went looking for him. I knew the name he gave me and I did my best not to think too hard about it, him, or his family.Life has a fun way of bringing things back because he's the lost king of the fae and now everyone knows. People who want him to take back the throne, people who want to kill him so he can’t, and people who want to hurt those he loves just to see him hurt.And I’m the werecat he gave a gift, just in case he ever needed someone to protect his innocent human wife. I’m now a pawn in a deadly clash of fae powers the likes of which has never been seen.Brin knows even a pawn can change the game.Especially this pawn. less

The world knows me as Jacqueline, daughter of Hasan, the werecat that fell in love with a werewolf. I prefer Jacky Leon and I knew what I was getting into when I allowed myself to fall in love with Heath Everson.We’re standing against centuries of animosity between the two species and it’s a dangerous place to be. I’m checking the shadows, and securing my territory, making sure no one can sneak up on us. Heath is keeping his eyes on more obvious problems, though, like the powder keg in Dallas... moreThe world knows me as Jacqueline, daughter of Hasan, the werecat that fell in love with a werewolf.

I’m checking the shadows, and securing my territory, making sure no one can sneak up on us. Heath is keeping his eyes on more obvious problems, though, like the powder keg in Dallas.The Dallas werewolf pack was once Heath’s pack. They relied on him, trusted him, and even loved him. No one can forget how his time as their Alpha had ended. Add in the troubles they’ve had since he’s left, and I know what Heath expects. It would be foolish to ignore the obvious threat brewing in the city.Something bad is going to happen.And the problems we face are much more nefarious than we could have bargained for. less

Jabari lost the love of his life centuries ago. He knew he would never find someone who could equal what he had with her. Then he met Aisha, a feisty rogue werecat, and she had pulled at his dead heart in ways he never dreamed. Not willing to take that risk again, he walked away from her and their shared feelings.Sixteen years later, Jabari has been asked to help Aisha with a mysterious problem... moreJabari lost the love of his life centuries ago. He knew he would never find someone who could equal what he had with her. Then he met Aisha, a feisty rogue werecat, and she had pulled at his dead heart in ways he never dreamed. Not willing to take that risk again, he walked away from her and their shared feelings.Sixteen years later, Jabari has been asked to help Aisha with a mysterious problem. It’s his duty as a son of Hasan, ruler of the werecats, to take care of the werecats in his father’s stead.That includes helping Aisha, no matter how much she might hate him.Jabari has no intention of falling back into her bed or letting her into his heart. He’s intrigued by the mystery she’s presented, but that doesn’t mean he’ll go see her without a battle plan.They don’t call him the General for nothing.Aisha made two mistakes sixteen years ago. She fell in love with a man that didn’t return the sentiment, then she didn’t tell him she was pregnant with his child after he left. Not only had her heart been broken, but she had to consider who the father was as well.Jabari, son of Hasan, or as most knew him: the General.It was fear, not anger or heartbreak, that kept her from reaching out sooner. She had feared that she would lose her son to the political machine that was Jabari’s family, the ruling family of the werecats. Feared that her son would lose his chance to choose his own destiny. She had wanted to spare him from that until he was old enough to understand.She never expected out of control magic, and now she'll have to answer for her mistakes if she wants to help her son. The only thing she has to lose is her child.Aisha has no intention of losing her son to that family and their expectations without a fight.She’ll even go to war with the General if she has to. less
