Called on the dangerous assignment, leopard shifter Conner Vega profits towards the Panama weather forest of his homeland, looking every bit the civilized male. But simply because a member of the most lethal of the shifter tribes, he does not have a civilized bone in his body. He carries the scent of a wild pet in its best, he bears the soul-crushing sins of past kills and he’s branded with the scars of shame inflicted by the woman he betrayed. Isabeau Chandler is usually a Borneo shifter who’s never forgiven Conner – or forgotten him. The mating desire is still with her, so when she crosses Conner’s path, passions burn like wildfire. But simply because Conner’s mission draws Isabeau nearer, another betrayal lies waiting around in the shadows – and it’s one of the most perilous and personal among all.
