From award-winning Lisa Kumar comes a contemporary fantasy romance of a fae lion shifter in the guise of a rich businessman and the human woman who shakes up his ordered world.
When Riley Robbins has a run-in with businessman Ivander Northland, his cold personality chills her to the core. But that soon changes as he pursues her with an ardor she's never known. Some things are too good to be true, and she's scared that he falls under that category.
Businessman Ivander Northland doesn't care for many people other than his family and extended clan. But when he meets his fated bondmate, who happens to be the all-too-human Riley, he scrambles to court her. Even though she thaws the ice encasing his heart, he fears she'll take off once she discovers who and what he is.
This story is the second in The Faerin series but can be read as a standalone. Also previously published as Claiming Riley in the anthologies Adamant Spirits and Like a Firework. This novella contains adult content and is perfect for fans of Tasha Black, Sarah J. Maas, C.N. Crawford, and Alessa Thorn.
