Scales and Scars

By: Gardner, Cierra

Takar is a lion shifter warrior with a gentle heart. One fateful day in Africa left him scarred emotionally and physically, turning him into a monster. He tries to find peace by relocating to the coast and shutting out his inner lion, resigning himself to a life without love. But the fates have other plans.

Aria has never had it easy. The mermaid shifter's mom died shortly after she was born, and her father is slowly dying after being poisoned by an oil spill. When Aria meets Takar, she knows he is her mate, but he doesn't seem to understand. Just as she might be getting through to him, the unthinkable happens. Can fate be so cruel as to bond her to someone responsible for her father's death?

Can their mate bond handle the pressure to join Land and Sea?
