Bonded — Erin Lark

Bonded by Erin Lark

Note: This is the prequel to Claimed.

For Tara, shifting's akin to breathing, but when she falls for Alec, she'll do anything to remain human, going as far as to holding her breath.

Tara's never had a taste for human companionship before-not in all three hundred years of her life.

Balancing between two planes of existence, Tara's become all too familiar with the xaran-feline shape shifters-and their laws; the most important of them being to shift back to human form every other new moon. As long as she agrees to give in to the shift and keeps her human legs shut, she can keep her immortality.

But when Alec falls into her life, Tara cannot resist the human's intoxicating scent or his fiery touch. Tainted just one night after the new moon, Tara's faced with a new dilemma-skip her next shift to the shadowed plane and remain on earth to live a mortal life, or give in to the new moon and beg the Divine for her forgiveness.
