Hard Mated (Shifters Unbound)

Description

Spike, a wildcat Shifter and the champion fighter of Shiftertown, is stunned when Myka, the most efficient friend of a dying human woman, announces that Spike has fathered a cub. What’s more, the mother is giving the boy to Spike to give protection to and raise.

Myka, who’d been raised by an abusive stepfather, isn’t sure that a wild fighter named Spike is the most efficient man to bring up the cute little jaguar cub. She goes to Shiftertown to try Spike, and finds that the man at the back of the name is a lonely Shifter who’s lost most of his family and is a fierce caretaker to those he has left.

Spike is torn between the cub and his duties as tracker to the Shiftertown leader, and begs Myka, the only person who understands, to help him. He starts to like the sassy Myka, a horse trainer who’s not afraid of working with animals, although they are wildcats who transform humans.

When Spike’s job puts his cub and Myka in danger, Spike is forced to make a choice from those to whom he is pledged his loyalty and his need to give protection to the woman and cub he is come to love.
