Jaguar Frisking — D. McEntire

Tess Joyner, NYPD Detective, discovers the theft of the Miloni Jaguar Paw from the city's museum is more than a theft of an ancient artifact when Davi enters the picture and reveals an important secret. A book written by Davi's Miloni ancestors foretells of a ritual requiring the paw and pure Miloni blood. If the two cannot stop the ritual, all those possessing Miloni blood will die, including Davi.

Seeking the help of a human is the last thing Davi thought he'd do, but the fate of his people, even those with only half Miloni blood, such as the child soon to be born of his brother's human mate, pushes his ego aside. Davi finds he has a heart after all, one that not only beats for the love of his people, but for a human he prays will not turn her back once she knows his jaguar secret.
