Scout — Kathi S. Barton

Scout Golden and his five brothers were the first of their kind. Born leopards, they were blessed with the magic of being the first leopard shifters. Morgan, their mother by proxy, raised them to blend in with humans and to be good men. Blessed with immortality, they all lived together on Morgan's Leap, a sanctuary for all nature.When Allison went to have a bite to eat with the other Golden mates, she never expected to be caught in the middle of a robbery. But when she saw a man in danger, she acted without thinking. Little did she know, he was the last remaining phoenix, and her heroic action had unlocked more power than she and her new mate, Scout, had ever dreamed of.
