Sent to America to marry a man she's never met, tiger shifter Nilambari runs out on the wedding instead. Fleeing into Montana's mountains, she's found and taken in by Rick Donnelly, a cougar shifter and self-proclaimed king of his particular hill. For the past three years he's lived alone. He doesn't want a mate and he doesn't like tigers. But one look into Nilambari's desperate eyes and he finds his feelings changing.
However, the man she escaped is Ravi, son of the villainous Zhere Ghan. He's even more vicious and abusive than his father. Ravi intends to have his bride -- or her corpse -- back at any cost. Can the cougar king defeat the tiger prince for the sake of his runaway tigress?
