The moment Meiling sees Gedeon she knows he's a leopard shifter--just as she knows she can't trust him. So why does she find herself rescuing this deadly, gorgeous man? Gedeon isn't used to women throwing his injured body over their shoulders and carrying him to safety. He might be embarrassed, if he wasn't so aroused by the very thought of this feisty lotus blossom. As they strike up a working relationship that suits them both, Gedeon starts to rely on Meiling for just about everything. But then the connection that links them shifts into an all-consuming desire. And neither will escape unmarked. . . .
