Book one in the Lions of Manhattan Series
Shape-shifters aren't real...are they?
Enigmatic and introverted, Gabriel Larousse is a billionaire with a secret. He's actually a lion-shifter, alpha of the pride that left his homeland along with his brothers to avoid the clan wars and to live peacefully among humans.
Catherine Kovac is a private investigator who is on the brink of losing her business. A client hires her to unearth Gabe's dark past. Getting close to Gabe seems like an impossible task. The man is surrounded by his brothers, who are eager to jump at her throat, thinking she's looking for dirt. So Cat is surprised when Gabe invites her into the circle and into his bed.
To discover that Gabe desires her as his mate is one thing. Finding out his dark, furry secret is quite another. But saying no to an alpha like Gabe is like talking to a brick wall. Cat may have to get used to the idea that Gabe isn't the sort of big cat who'll be content and purr just for a little petting...
