Flynn, lion alpha of the Bad Blood Crew, has had enough of fated mates.

Every time one of his crew falls in love, a crap-ton of trouble rains down behind them. Besides, he's… Flynn. Dominant. Uncompromising. Grumpy. Tactless. Hell, he likes things his way. The last thing he needs is a female who expects him to trip over his paws, trying to make her happy. Flynn protects his people and keeps them alive—period. "Happy" is not in his vocabulary.

Kira has been officially dead for twenty years—raised in secret after the Dragon House of Al-Maddeiri was wiped out in a clan war when she was only a child. But now her life is unraveling: her guardian is dead, and the magical binding that hides her true nature is breaking down. If the out-of-control magic doesn't kill her, her enemies will. Her only hope is to hunt down the last surviving member of the Lion Guard—the one man who might have the power to save her.

A lifetime ago, Flynn swore an oath to the House of Al-Maddeiri, to protect their princess with his life. Now she's back from the dead, bristling with weapons and attitude—and wanting him to honor his promise. She might be the one woman who can take on the alpha of the Bad Blood Crew and change his mind about happily ever after—if she doesn't get him killed first…

Fall in love with the Bad Blood Shifters! Smokin' hot shifter men with hearts of gold; the strong, passionate women who love them; secrets, lies, and danger—and happily ever afters.
