Leopard of Shadows: Book Two of the Pact Reborn Trilogy

By Dallas King

Montessa Alonso has spent her life digging up ancient gods-never imagining she might become one.

When a relic on her archaeological dig pulses to life beneath her fingertips, power surges through her veins in a rush of heat and instinct that steals her breath. Her senses sharpen. Her skin hums. Her body shifts toward something fierce, divine, and undeniably predatory.

She is becoming the Leopard-whether she's ready or not.

And the first man to sense the change in her is the one she should run from.

Ryott Ellis.
The Raven.
A walking sin wrapped in shadows and arrogance, with a voice that slides over her skin like smoke and a stare that sees far too much. He's assigned to protect her-but from the moment her power awakens, he stops pretending it's just duty.

He steps closer when she steps back.
Smirks when she snaps at him.
Pins her with that cool, infuriating gaze like he's daring her to lose control.

And gods help her... Montessa wants to.

Every time her strength flares, Ryott is there-catching her by the wrist, by the waist, by the world that's falling apart beneath her feet. His touch steadies her, ignites her, teases the Leopard rising inside her like he's coaxing the beast with his bare hands. Shadows curl around them when he leans in too close. His breath brushes her throat when he murmurs things he shouldn't. His body shields hers like she belongs there.

And sometimes Montessa can't tell if he's protecting her...
or claiming her.
