Description:
Julia
is happy with her place in the shifter community as the owner of the
famous shifter bar, The Backwater. But the life she's created for
herself isn't enough to satisfy her crazy-ass mother, Lucinda, who
shops her and her sister, Krystal, around to the pure blood shifters
like pieces of meat. Only a born shifter mate is good enough for her
girls.
Thomas
James has his hands full as the shifter king's head of security. He
certainly wasn’t looking for a girlfriend during the first annual
shifter gathering. He had the king and queen to protect, not skirts
to chase.
A
childhood of emotional and physical abuse by his birth father has
left Thomas emotionally unavailable and uninterested in romantic
relationships. His father Tim’s cruelty to his mother and brother
molded him into an extremely protective person. No one messes with
his loved ones without answering to him.
Even
though Julia and Thomas are destined to be mates, the obstacles
standing between them and their happily-ever-after seem
insurmountable.
Lucinda
insists Julia stay away from the filthy human.
Tim
is trying to kill every one Thomas loves. The mysterious Benevolent
Sovereign, who is trying to overthrow the throne, has sent swampers
to attack Thomas and destroy Julia’s livelihood.
With
family like theirs, who needs enemies? Will Julia and Thomas’s
happiness be snuffed out before it has a chance to begin or will they
forge through - obstacles be damned.

Prologue-
The Plan
Only
the birds singing and the leaves ruffling in the breeze shared Emma’s
solitude. Reverently, she knelt before the dais constructed for
John’s conversion. As part of its preparation, she had taken her
daily meditation time at its base.
Closing
her eyes and lifting her hands in supplication, she began to pray.
“Mother Luperca, I ask that you bless this holy site and give it
your approval.”
As
she knelt quietly, a soft voice greeted her, “Beloved daughter, I
give this site my approval. All is prepared for my newest son, John,
to join my family.”
“May
I also inquire about my unmated sons?”
“You
ask about your sons, but that is not what I feel in your heart. Your
true concern is for Thomas, and the plan I have for him.”
“If
it pleases you, may I be honored with the knowledge of your plan?”
“Thomas
is destined to be Julia’s mate.”
“How
may I be of assistance in bringing this mating to fruition?”
“Julia
will attend the gathering. Ensure that they meet.”
“Thank
you, Mother. How may I be of further service?”
“Your
daily worship pleases me well, child. You do enough. Blessed be.”
“Blessed
be, Mother.”
Emma
completed her prayers and final preparations, excited to tell Isaac
her news.
*****
Isaac
sat in his office responding to emails from the other pack
patriarchs. The gathering was shaping up to be a complete success
with every family in the region attending.
“Isaac!
Isaac, where are you, cher?” Emma called through the house.
“In
here, mon amour.”
“I
can’t believe it!” Emma perched in the chair opposite him. “The
Goddess has given me the next mate.”
“Who?”
he asked excitedly. “Lucas? Marcus?”
Emma
leaned toward him and whispered her incredible secret. “Thomas.”
“No!
How?”
“Julia.”
Emma clapped excitedly. “She’s his mate.”
“I
never saw that coming.” Isaac laughed.
“That’s
why he isn’t being converted with John.”
Isaac
nodded. “He’ll be converted by Julia during the ritual.”
“The
Goddess told me Julia will attend the gathering, and our job is to
ensure they meet.”
“All
right,” Isaac grinned, “that should be easy enough. I’ll keep
tabs on Thomas, and you watch Julia. If they don’t meet on their
own, one of us will make sure they are introduced.”
