The lines between shifters and humans are blurring, and the journey of discovery that began when a lion, a tiger, and a bear found each other—and learned that mates exist—has taken a new direction. More mates are finding each other, and three seems to be the charm.

Brick, a powerful polar bear shifter, and his kitty shifter mate Aric are part of a shifter/human team searching for the camp where their third mate, Seth Miles, has been taken. Since Dellan’s rescue from his stepbrother’s clutches, the team has learned the horrifying truth behind the Geran faction’s plan to capture and imprison shifters and ensure bloodline purity.

They also have another shifter to rescue from the same camp: Seth’s father, Jake Carson. Except Jake is Dellan’s father too, captured by the Gerans three decades ago and until recently, believed to be dead. The camp is like a fortress, and the rescue operation is looking like an impossible quest.

What no one anticipated was help from an unexpected source.  Dellan is about to learn why the power-hungry Gerans took his father in the first place--and what they want next.

In this latest installment of Lions, Tigers & Bears, K.C. Wells doubles down on the intrigue… and the passion.

After all, Rowan’s a librarian, not a nanny, and Jordy could be traded at any moment.
