The Lion's Mate

By Darlene Tallman

Emilia Andrews

My life changed abruptly when I was fifteen after an afternoon joyride left me with lasting, lifelong challenges. The doctors say there's no physical reason that I can no longer see, but still, I spend my days working at the sawmill. I've heard of the burly, handsome lumberjacks that populate my hometown, and I suspect that some are shifters, even though I haven't been able to confirm that fact. I also know that I'll likely live out my days alone; no spouse or significant other, no children, just me and my two cats. So, when Paul Brewer moves to town and immediately wants to date me, I feel like maybe, just maybe my dreams may come true after all.

Unfortunately, he came to town for nefarious purposes and was using me to accomplish them. Also unfortunately, I didn't realize it until I was left bloody and broken in the creek by the sawmill.

Zane Jackson

I'm the unofficial Alpha of a ragtag group of lumberjacks who work to take down the trees, while also replanting saplings to help the environment. When several cubs come up missing, my search leads us to the creek that's near the sawmill where we send out logs. I never expected to find my mate, and certainly not beaten and battered on the creek bank.
