Swallowing His Pride — Serena Pettus

Welcome to Pride, Texas, the home of cowboys, roughnecks, southern charm...and shifters. Lion shifters to be exact. When a trip to Las Vegas has Dylan coming face to face with a woman who calls to every part of him-especially his inner lion-he's not sure what to do. Yearning to spend as much time with her as possible, Dylan courts her until one night of passion takes things further than even he was prepared to go. She's now his mate. The impromptu vacation Samantha took with her best friend took a turn for the better when a hunky guy with a charming southern accent takes a liking to her. Unable to deny the intense chemistry between them, she tosses her inhibitions to the wind and indulges in a night of carnal bliss...only to wake up alone. Hurt and confused, she heads home, only to discover that not everything that happens in Vegas stays there. Now he's back, and she must decide what to do once he confesses a secret that turns her reality on its head. But now there's a danger lurking in the shadows as well. A threat that is determined to keep humans out of the shifter society...by any means necessary.
