He
feared no man, no foe, no obstacle or challenge . . .
Burdened
by the weight of his secrets and his father’s sins, the need for
redemption pulls Cale Terriot from his duty to his clan and the arms
of his new mate into deadly intrigues in a rival territory. His
dangerous masquerade in a high-stakes Shifter fight club is about to
be exposed to those who would show no mercy – if he can survive in
the ring.
How
to protect a prince turned king made pawn?
Fearing
she’ll lose her soulmate to the darkness he carries inside, Kendra
Terriot, newly made queen in the Shape-shifter House of Terriot, must
provide him with an heir in order to save his life . . . and his
soul. But first she must risk all to coax him back from the edge of
violence inherited with his crown.
Can
her love tear him from an unbreakable vow that can only end in death?
“Every
delicious word Nancy Gideon puts on the page exhilarates with a
sensuous ferocity. Hopelessly addicted.”

Excerpt from UNLEASHED BY SHADOWS . . .Cale
He
feared no man, no foe, no obstacle or challenge. He’d learned to
stand his ground and take it without a wince while growing up with
the most to prove in the House of Terriot. He’d been schooled
beneath the heavy heel and meaty fists of Bram Terriot, bearing the
marks of those lessons scored into his skin and once tender psyche.
He understood intimidation better than he did compassion. Had once
indulged in every savagery Lee now expected from him. Would have
become a brutal, heartless monster walking the same path his father
followed had it not been for the two things that called to his latent
decency: The brothers who’d fearlessly stood beside him and the
female brave enough to believe his claims.
He
owed them. He owed his family prosperous lives without fear and
subjugation, where pride wasn’t measured in cruelties. He owed the
woman he loved the fulfillment of promises made by a starry-eyed boy.
He owed them a future in which they bowed to no one and had no reason
to expect the worse from one another. And to achieve those things,
all he had to do was right the wrongs of the man who’d desecrated
the crown he now represented.
All
. . .
With
a weary laugh, Cale closed his eyes.
His
debt. His burden. His to carry and complete alone. No whining about
the costs to body, heart or soul. No crying over what couldn’t be
changed, repaid or repaired. No shirking from sacrifices sure to cost
more than he’d ever thought to wager. The blood on his hands would
never come clean. There was no forgiveness for his sins—the sins of
the father now those of the son. He was lost but he wouldn’t drag
those he loved and respected down with him. Not while he still had
strength and breath and opportunity.
He
couldn’t save his people hiding on their mountain top. He couldn’t
purge his guilt without a willingness to surrender his life.
And
he couldn’t protect his mate if he couldn’t provide her with his
heir.
