The Mating Truth

Afton Mackenzie has watched his two older sisters succumb to the mating call and find their mates.

But last year has left not only him rattled, but his entire family. The threat that Leonard has out there on his home and pride is still very real and now with the appearance of an illegal bear trap has brought on more concerns that he's pushing back instinct to head out when his own mating call strikes.

When he does finally go, he learns truths he was never prepared for.

Harper Parks has had enough of what has happened to her home from when she was a child.

Living constantly on edge and being surrounded by a never-ending population of humans has her at her wits end. Add a mate not showing up right away after their call strikes, she's about to burst from her skin and uncover the hidden mountain lion shifter world to humans.

Until she's nearly hit by a truck. Without much ceremony, Afton and Harper meet. While some truths are bitter and too difficult to swallow, the one that means the most is the easiest.
