About this ebook

She left because he couldn’t love her the way she needed…

Human Kat Saburova had her heart broken by the Shifter Council’s ruthless enforcer. So she left and never looked back. A year later, an attack that nearly kills her brings him back into her orbit—but she wants nothing to do with him.

Now he’ll do anything to save her…

Shifter Jayce Kazan has made countless enemies, but for a short time he found peace with a sweet, funny human. Though it tore his heart out, he let her go for her own good. But someone tried to kill her and inadvertently turned her into a shifter. And now that she’s in danger, he’ll cross every line to save her. Even if that means saving her from herself. As he fights for a second chance, the extremists who almost killed her once are looking to finish the job…

SECOND EDITION - This updated and revised edition is the author’s preferred text.

Author’s Note: Mating Instinct was originally published by Berkley and the rights have recently reverted back to me. Since then, I’ve done some light editing and rewriting. So if the cover looks new but the title feels familiar, that’s why!

Ratings and reviews

I loved this third book in the Moon Shifters series. Kat and Jayce are reunited after having broken up a year ago. Jayce's main focus is protecting Kat and keeping her safe from the Antiparanormal league. This book is steamy, emotional, and action packed, with lots of twists and turns that kept me glued to the pages. I look forward to the next in this series!

Kat and Jayce had a rough road to travel to reach their happy ever after. With Kat’s past traumatic events and her resulting change, Jayce had a lot to overcome. He had his own insecurities and guilt regarding what had happened. I ached as they struggled independently and together. This is fraught with a dark danger that remains out of reach. With both new characters and those we’ve already met and loved, this book took twists and turns I never saw coming. The steam level was scorching.
