Vivi Andrews - Jaguar's Kiss (2014)
(The first book in the Lone Pine Pride series)


To get what he wants, he'll have to rattle her cage...

Lila Fallon, the Lone Pine Pride Alpha's only daughter, has been betrothed since childhood to marry her father's chosen successor. The match is designed to maintain peace by shoring up any cracks in pride solidarity.

She's always known she would do her duty - she just never expected to meet a man who would tempt her to throw it all away.

As a black panther, Santiago Flores couldn't be a less suitable mate for the Alpha's purebred lioness daughter. But that doesn't change the fact that for every one of the five years he's been with the Lone Pine Pride, he's been head-over-heels in love with her. And when the Alpha announces that Lila's indefinite engagement is about to end in a very definite marriage, Santiago is through holding his peace.

From their very first kiss, Santiago rattles Lila's neatly ordered world. But can a lioness who's always lived to please everyone else risk everything to please herself?

Warning: This book contains tempting lone-wolf jaguars, lionesses who long for fairy tale endings, arranged marriages, tangled emotions and a pride full of trouble.

Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs.

To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past.

The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but that’s top secret.
