Lion's Bower — Margaret L. Carter

Diera invades a mysterious sorcerer's garden, searching for her brother. She plans to offer herself in exchange for her brother's life and a healing potion to cure his sick child. When she meets the sorcerer, she is shocked to discover that he is half man, half beast and she expects him to kill her. Instead, he seduces her and demands that she become his mate. Inflamed by the magical berries he uses to brew love potions and lulled by his sensual aura, Diera finds deep sexual pleasure and unexpected joy in her new life. But when she awakens from the trance of desire, doubt and fear creep in. She realizes that she must choose -- her home and family, or the sexy beast.
