Celebrate all spring has to offer with the sexy shifters of Ashwood Falls in A Leopard’s Path by Lia Davis!
Return to Ashwood Falls with A LEOPARD’S PATH by fan favorite and bestselling author, Lia Davis. Spring has finally arrived and is here to stay, so the sexy shifters are out in full force in Ashwood Falls. But, there’s some discord and tension. Can Kieran and Ana work through their trust issues to find love or will it all fall apart?
Stolen from her family as an infant, Ana Darwin-Andrews has to piece together her past and present. Her whole life is a lie. There’s only one man she feels she can trust, but even he has secrets.
Kieran Michaels keeps a tight lid on his past, but the Onyx Alpha knows his darkest secrets. Kieran will stop at nothing to destroy the rogue before the past is reveled. Ana can never discover his hands are as bloodstained as their enemy’s, because life without her is not an option.
“What the hell is so funny about that?”
She held up a hand as she tried to calm herself. “I’m sorry, but when you met me, I was tracking down and killing Felix’s mutants.”
At the time, she’d believed the rogue Alpha was her father. She’d thought she was being a rebellious daughter because she hated the half-animal, half-human beasts, as well as Felix’s cruel ways.
Kieran pursed his lips and hardened his stare on her. She had to press her lips together to keep from laughing even harder. Sitting up, Ana held out her hand. “Come here.”
He moved closer and took her hand. Instead of sitting next to her, he knelt in front of her. “I traveled from Pack to Pack searching for rogues.”
She cradled his face in her hands. “It was your job to protect shifters from Felix.”
His eyes flashed, letting her know his leopard was close to the surface, as always. In the darkest, twisted part of her soul, she loved knowing her mate held such a tight control of his beast. In a way, she’d always known he was capable of taking a life if he had to.
She also saw the compassionate side—his human side—that kept the primal needs at bay.
When he parted his lips to speak, she pressed a finger to his lips. “I’ve known you were mine from the moment I saw you walking the caverns talking to Felix all those years ago. Nothing you tell me will change that. All I ask is for honesty because my whole life has been a lie.”
He hugged her tight, pressing his ear to her chest. A small crack formed in the wall she had encased her heart in. So much for playing hard to get and making him chase her. Damn male.
Kieran kissed her palm, then stood while scooping her up in his arms. “I’m taking you to bed to make love to you and pretend, if only for tonight, we’re not at war.”
Her heart thumped rapidly and her cat purred as desire filled her at the thought of Kieran naked and filling her.
