Book Description:
Julia is happy with her place in
the shifter community as the owner of the famous shifter bar, The Backwater.
But the life she's created for herself isn't enough to satisfy her crazy-ass
mother, Lucinda, who shops her and her sister, Krystal, around to the pure
blood shifters like pieces of meat. Only a born shifter mate is good enough for
her girls.
Thomas James has his hands full as
the shifter king's head of security. He certainly wasn’t looking for a
girlfriend during the first annual shifter gathering. He had the king and queen
to protect, not skirts to chase.
A childhood of emotional and
physical abuse by his birth father has left Thomas emotionally unavailable and
uninterested in romantic relationships. His father Tim’s cruelty to his mother
and brother molded him into an extremely protective person. No one messes with
his loved ones without answering to him.
Even though Julia and Thomas are
destined to be mates, the obstacles standing between them and their
happily-ever-after seem insurmountable.
Lucinda insists Julia stay away
from the filthy human.
Tim is trying to kill every one
Thomas loves. The mysterious Benevolent Sovereign, who is trying to overthrow
the throne, has sent swampers to attack Thomas and destroy Julia’s livelihood.
With family like theirs, who needs
enemies? Will Julia and Thomas’s happiness be snuffed out before it has a
chance to begin or will they forge through - obstacles be damned.
Prologue- The Plan
Only the birds singing and the
leaves ruffling in the breeze shared Emma’s solitude. Reverently, she knelt
before the dais constructed for John’s conversion. As part of its preparation,
she had taken her daily meditation time at its base.
Closing her eyes and lifting her hands in
supplication, she began to pray. “Mother Luperca, I ask that you bless this
holy site and give it your approval.”
As she knelt
quietly, a soft voice greeted her, “Beloved daughter, I give this site my
approval. All is prepared for my newest son, John, to join my family.”
“May I also
inquire about my unmated sons?”
“You ask about
your sons, but that is not what I feel in your heart. Your true concern is for
Thomas, and the plan I have for him.”
“If it pleases
you, may I be honored with the knowledge of your plan?”
“Thomas is
destined to be Julia’s mate.”
“How may I be of
assistance in bringing this mating to fruition?”
“Julia will attend
the gathering. Ensure that they meet.”
“Thank you,
Mother. How may I be of further service?”
“Your daily
worship pleases me well, child. You do enough. Blessed be.”
“Blessed be,
Mother.”
Emma completed her
prayers and final preparations, excited to tell Isaac her news.
*****
Isaac sat in his
office responding to emails from the other pack patriarchs. The gathering was
shaping up to be a complete success with every family in the region attending.
“Isaac! Isaac,
where are you, cher?” Emma called through the house.
“In here, mon
amour.”
“I can’t believe
it!” Emma perched in the chair opposite him. “The Goddess has given me the next
mate.”
“Who?” he asked
excitedly. “Lucas? Marcus?”
Emma leaned toward
him and whispered her incredible secret. “Thomas.”
“No! How?”
“Julia.” Emma
clapped excitedly. “She’s his mate.”
“I never saw that
coming.” Isaac laughed.
“That’s why he
isn’t being converted with John.”
Isaac nodded.
“He’ll be converted by Julia during the ritual.”
“The Goddess told
me Julia will attend the gathering, and our job is to ensure they meet.”
“All right,” Isaac
grinned, “that should be easy enough. I’ll keep tabs on Thomas, and you watch
Julia. If they don’t meet on their own, one of us will make sure they are
introduced.”
