Mated

If you commit a crime on Vaharis 6, there's more than one way to work off your sentence...

Sam doesn't know what to think when his "alternative sentence" ends up being an arranged courtship with another male panther shifter. It's better than going to prison, but Sam can't help worrying when he finds out how much was paid for his freedom ... and how determined his new keeper is to make Sam his true mate.

Laxus has been shunned by other shifters for many reasons, including his preference for male lovers. He's more than willing to rescue Sam from the horrors of prison life, especially when he sees Sam's reaction to his touch. As the younger man tries to deny his reactions, Laxus becomes more resolute than ever to seduce Sam and work his way into his heart.
