Lion Eyes — Jodi Lynn Copeland

Liddy's out to vindicate the lions in her sanctuary from an accusation of murder and absolve her own burning hunger for the one man she knows better than to want.

Kevin has wanted Liddy since first meeting her. Two obstacles stand in the way of that desire: skin color and the fact that Kevin is leader of the area shapeshifter pride.

Too many humans fear shapeshifters, and Kevin believes Liddy may be among them, especially when the truth is revealed?it isn't a normal lion responsible for the killing, but one of Kevin's own kind.
