Cougar's Courage — Teresa Noelle Roberts

Logic says wait. Their bodies scream go. And their spirit guides are playing dirty.

Toronto cop Cara Many-Winters Mackenzie is still reeling from her fiance's murder when her orderly life takes a turn toward the weird, complete with voices in her head and phantom bleeding wounds. This violent awakening is the rise of her Different gift-a chaotic, Bugs-Bunny-on-crack magic that she must learn to control before it destroys her. There's only one place to get help: her mother's ancestral village, and a mentor who seems to have stepped straight out of the smoke of her erotic dreams. Cougar Dual Jack Long-Claw reluctantly agrees to take Cara under his wing, though he'd much rather take the beautiful city girl into his bed. As he guides her through a crash course in shamanic magic, sparks fly-some sexy, some snarky. But when an ancient enemy attacks the village, they must work together to hone a magical weapon against certain destruction. Common sense tells them it's a terrible time to fall in love. Their spirit guides have other ideas. And shamans who don't listen to their spirit guides are dead shamans...

Warning: Hot shape-shifting feline hero. Strong but shell-shocked heroine. Snarky, meddling spirit guides. And lots and lots of sex: angry sex, crazy sex, magical sex, and just plain sexy sex.
