5 stars! “I love how they treat their women.”
Cat-shifting King Kirill knows he must do his royal duty by his people. When his father unexpectedly dies, it’s his destiny to take the throne and all of the responsibility that entails. What he hadn’t prepared for is the troublesome female prisoner he inherited.
Undercover Agent Ulyssa is no man’s captive. Trapped in a primitive alien forest awaiting pickup, she’s going to make the best out of a bad situation… which doesn’t include falling for the seductions of an alpha male king.

“Get ready for a thrilling ride to planet Qurilixen, where gorgeous cat-shifting alphas rule. …Intrigue, romance and sizzling sex keep the story moving.” –RT Magazine, April 2007
5 Stars! “”Gahhhhh!!! 5 stars and a place on my fave’s bookshelf!!! lol” Jwezi, Goodreads
5 Stars! “The Var princes are an interesting group, at first glance, they are nothing like the Draig. King Attor never took a mate and has taught all of his sons that to be mated to a woman and to love is to be weak. All of his sons seem to agree with this idea to some degree, but Kirill is starting to have possessive feelings for Ulyssa, and he decides that one night isn’t enough. I really liked this story, but it took me a little time to warm up to Kirill and the Var, it may be because I loved the Draig princes and lords so much and I love how they treat their women, which is different for the Var. There was a lot of action in this book and the love scenes were really hot.” Amanda R, Goodreads (2015)
