Claws Bared

Book two of Blood of the Pride! Rebecca Desjardin, a P. I. and cat shifter, doesn't normally find herself in strip clubs. But a popular male dancer has been murdered in Pennsylvania, and it looks like the work of a shifter from the local Pride. Rebecca has a duty to help protect her kind - and she needs to find justice for the dead. Her impromptu trip leaves her boyfriend, reporter Brandon Hanover, unhappy. He's only just come to terms with the fact that she's a Felis, and their relationship is still so new - Rebecca is determined to deal with the murder first, then deal with their future. As her investigation unfolds, she's met with grudging cooperation and half-truths. Does the Pride want her to find justice, or help them hide a killer? Frustrated and unable to shake the sexy local shifter who says he's on her side, Rebecca can't seem to scratch out the truth - at least not on her own. But when Brandon shows up, is he there to help or to mark his territory? 68,000 words
