Cool Blue Desire — Kira Shayde

When Alina Van der Stel agrees to spring an imprisoned lion shifter in South Africa and hand him over to the rebels in return for information about her birth parents, she doesn't expect the man to capture her mind as much as he does her body. Falsely accused of conspiracy, Kipper Lumbwi has no intention of allowing the icy blonde to sell him to the very traitors who landed him a stint in prison. Yet her ethereal blue eyes reflect years of sadness as a snow leopard trapped in a land of lions, and he understands her need to find her true kin. Except she's not the only one targeting him. With a bounty-hunting hyena and the Defence Force in pursuit, Kipper and Alina agree to an alliance…one that leads to her finally experiencing the joys of desire. Can their passion earn them the trust they'll need to survive? Warning: if you're not a fan of scorching hot sex scenes, this book is not for you. A tamer version of this book is available in Primal Shifters North America (which contains all three novellas of the Primal Shifters series but set in North America instead of South Africa).
