Zoe King is itching to get out of Three Rocks. Sure, the pride is more progressive with her brother in charge. She s just got a bad case of wanderlust and an even worse case of the hots for Tyler Minor.

The pride s mechanic sets her senses on fire one second, then shuts down and walks away the next. Before she hits the road for good, this lioness decides it s time to bring their cat-and-mouse game to a "satisfying" end.

Twenty years ago, Tyler s father walked out and left him with a mountain of responsibility. Now that his younger siblings are settled, the last thing he wants or needs is another obligation. Which is exactly what he ll get if he screws around with the Alpha s sister.

When Zoe offers more like "demands" a no-strings affair, temptation wins and he finds his hands in places they shouldn t be, and his thoughts straying to words like "his." But Zoe s got her own ideas about possessive, chest-banging males. And they don t include white picket fences or letting Tyler keep her out of the danger zone when an outside threat to the pride s secrecy becomes all too real.
