As an Elder of a diminishing race, and capable of changing into a leopard, Garrick Forrester, Earl of Danford, has lived through wars, plagues and two arranged marriages. Nothing he’s experienced, however, has prepared him for the discovery of his mate living in the nearby village, or for her resistance. Aisley Reeves has the ability to hear and speak with him mind-to-mind, identifying her as the woman meant to be his. To keep her safe from an unimaginable enemy, he must persuade her to become his willing countess while keeping her under constant guard.

Imagine Aisley Reeves’ dismay when the Earl of Danford demands she become his betrothed by the close of a fortnight. Already fearful that her work as a healer and her birthmark might tempt some to brand her as a witch, she believes it is best to keep her distance from the dark, mesmerizing earl whose thoughts she can hear and who bears an uncanny resemblance to a black leopard patrolling the forest. However, when Garrick and his mysterious gifts become her only hope for survival, she must decide if she can trust her heart to a man who is far more than human.

You need to upgrade your Flash Player

(Click on the image) Plagued by horrific headaches and fear of a past she cannot remember, Rhiannon Mathews has spent the last 20 years being unknowingly prepared to become the wife of an earl. When the loathsome earl displays a stolen painting, Rhiannon is inexplicably drawn to its depiction of a mythical ancient race. If this painting holds the key to unlocking her past, she and her maid must escape the earl’s prison, and flee to Florence in the desperate hope of finding the artist.

While visiting the Piazza della Signoria two months later, Rhiannon is unaware that the very man she’s come to Florence to find has been watching her from a distance. Master artist Dante Luciano is a 242 year old Abcynian Elder, and capable of changing into a lion. Once he speaks with her mind-to-mind, thus claiming her in the way of their kind, he rushes to take her home, only to discover that she is terribly ill. Because Dante can do nothing other than care and protect his mate, he enables Rhiannon to heal and reclaim her memory. But their future will be threatened by her fears of her past and a vicious man’s plans for Rhiannon.
