McKinnon's Mate — Serena Akeroyd

[Siren Classic: Erotic Paranormal Romance, shape-shifters, HEA] Destined to lead a powerful yet lonely life, Julia Tenneson exists in a misery only a fellow Pride female can understand. When she learns her human best friend, Lia Drummond, is in fact a half-breed and related to the most eminent family in the US Pride, Julia's emotionally-stunted life tilts one-eighty. Grayson McKinnon exists in the half-world only a Pride male can understand. Powerless, disrespected at every turn, and without purpose, Gray both dreads the day he meets his mate and longs for it. When eco-warrior Julia appears on his radar, any dread is replaced with the need to make her irrevocably his. But their mating has repercussions on a grander scale, for it triggers an investigation into the suspected murder of Grayson's uncle and Lia Drummond's father, Archie McKinnon. Julia's unique powers and contacts are game-changers, but is her fragile mate bond with Gray strong enough to survive the earthquake currently shaking the US Pride to its core...? ** A Siren Erotic Romance
