A place to belong and strong arms to hold him—but will this shifter get what he needs?
After being rescued and taken to the Sanctuary, a refuge for lion shifters, Talisman knows he’s safe. But he’s restless. All the other shifters have paired up, except Talisman and one other shifter. The guy is fine, but he doesn’t make Talisman’s heart beat or his lion roar. Talisman refuses to give up looking for what he wants, but he never expected love to come running, stark naked, through a hole in the fence.
Davi doesn’t understand what’s happened to him. One minute, he’s a happy lion at the petting
zoo. The next, he’s being hunted and humans want to use his head as a trophy. When his hope
is almost gone, two lions appear to show him an escape route. At the Sanctuary, he realizes his
power to shift and the desires of a human male. He doesn’t trust humans, but there’s one shifter
Talisman and Davi must decide whether to give in to their animal urges or let the ghosts of the
past tear their world apart for good. No matter what they choose, there’s one person who
doesn’t want anyone, especially the shifters, to get their happy ending. As Talisman and Davi
seek forever, it just might be ripped right out of their hands.

The guy waited for the longer haired man to walk away then he sat in the grass. He didn’t say
Davi watched him, unsure what to do. His cat wanted to sniff out the stranger and scope out the
situation. Did Davi trust his cat? Yes, but not that man.
Neither Davi or the guy sitting in the grass moved for what seemed like forever. Finally, the man
spoke.
“Davi? My name is Talisman. I don’t know if you remember me from the petting zoo, but I
was there with you.”
He didn’t look at Davi or even in Davi’s direction. “I think I’m a few months
older than you. I remember being in the pens, having the kids pet us and feeling wonderful.
Then the good feelings stopped. I know you’re scared. I was scared, too. Unlike the humans at
the petting zoo, we won’t hurt you here.”
Davi debated sitting up but remained hunched down. Maybe, he could trust Talisman, but he didn't remember him.
“It’s scary. You’ve shifted, and you don’t understand why. I know. I’ve been there. I didn’t shift
until I was safe, but when it happened, I didn’t understand what was going on. It’s okay.” He
glanced over to where Davi hid. “If you don’t come out, I can’t help you. I promise. I won’t hurt
you, and I’ll help you get used switching between your cat and human forms.”
“No.” Davi kept hiding, but decided to at least try to talk to Talisman.
“Can you come out?” Talisman crawled across the grass, closer to Davi. “Would it help if I
shifted?” He didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, he yanked his shirt up over his head then stood
and shoved his pants down his legs. He kicked out of the boots and stood nude before Davi.
Davi watched Talisman move. Wow. He’d never seen a naked man before, but if that’s what
they looked like, he liked what he saw. His cat wasn’t upset, either.
Talisman dropped to his knees and placed his hands in the grass. He lowered his head then
wriggled. Fur sprouted on Talisman’s shoulders and back. His teeth elongated and a growl
ripped from his throat. The fur spread down his chest to his belly and covered his legs. His
hands and feet shifted into paws. When he shook his head, thick fur sprouted behind his ears
and beneath his chin. Before Davi’s eyes, the man shifted into the lion.
