His Lion Tamer — Caitlin Ricci

Charlie thinks his Friday will be the same as any other working as an animator, until Quinn Fitzgerald and his rescued Asiatic Lion, Aseem, walk into the studio. While the lion is impressive, his handler is the real reason Charlie's heart skips a beat.

Quinn has devoted years of his life to rescuing big cats, so he can't turn down the donation the animation company is offering in exchange for using one of his cats as a model.

Charlie isn't quite as confident as the handsome, charming man his sister teasingly calls Sex God Quinn Fitzgerald. He's so nervous he can hardly talk to the other man, so he's shocked when Quinn not only notices him but invites him to spend the weekend at his big cat sanctuary.

Note: This novella is derived from a combination of two novellas previously published by Silver Publishing: Taming the Lion Tamer and Lions in the Candlelight.
