About this ebook

Prowling the Alaskan wilderness alone, a mountain lion shifter rescues a witch who smells like catnip and makes his inner animal purr. He knows he's found his mate — but their love is forbidden!

An outcast from his pack...

Born to a family of wolves, mountain lion shifter Adrian Stone has never fit into the shifter community. He's resolved to live out his days alone, prowling the Alaskan wilderness and hunting down rogues. When he rescues a stunning, determined human who smells like catnip and makes his inner animal purr, he's shocked, because his mountain lion insists she's his mate - even though she claims to be a witch...

A witch without magic...

Darcy Mae is determined to join her aunt's coven and make up for her mother's mistakes. All she needs is one more ingredient for a potion to cheat the coven's test. But a grizzly attacks her while she's searching for herbs, and her mountain lion rescuer transforms into a man with rock-hard abs and golden eyes she can't resist...

Witches and shifters never mix, and Darcy is terrified the coven will drive her away. But the coven isn't her only concern. The local shifters believe the rogue outbreak is due to witchcraft.

And Darcy is the perfect target.

Reader note: A reclusive shifter, a wanna-be witch, and a whole lot of hot and steamy purring. Intended for mature audiences.

Ratings and reviews

I read this first as First Instinct in the Diablo Falls collaboration as it was originally published and my review hasn't really changed, though the book did get some tweaks and some additions, so please enjoy! Adrian is a mountain lion shifter and park ranger who is generally happiest when he's by himself. Darcy is a witch with a stutter who wants nothing more than to be accepted into her Aunt's coven so she can train properly. The two meet under far less than ideal circumstances when Adrian saves her life but shows off his cat in the same breath. This book is a very sweet romance (with a good dollop of steam) that mixes in some self realization and family love to make it even warmer. There is a little bit of action and some mystery that I believe will cross over into some of the other books as well. If you like your romance hot, paranormal, and sweet, don't pass this up!

This book, is entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

Great book with a happy ending. A plot that will extend to other books that you will want to read now if you read the excerpt at the end.
