None of them know the risks like he does, and he won’t watch his clan go down that road without a fight.Fun loving city girl and longtime friend of the clan, Josie, is always down for a good time.

But a secret ten years in the making throws Josie into a world of harsh realities, where she is somehow mated to the one panther shifter hell-bent on staying single.Torn by the past and an undeniable connection to a female he doesn’t want to lose, this is Magic’s last chance to get it right. But can he let go of history long enough to see how wonderful the future for the Ouachitas could be?
