“I’M A HUGE FAN OF LORA LEIGH’S BREED BOOKS.” —Nalini Singh, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Psy/Changeling Novels There’s a fine line between animal instinct and human desire—and in the newest book in her “highly erotic saga” ( Fresh Fiction) o f the Breeds , Lora Leigh crosses it.  Lion Breed and enforcer Rule Breaker has a few rules he doesn’t break. But having sex with a woman outside his own breed, even a human woman, is not one of them. Especially when it’s Gypsy, the party girl who’s determined to lead him on a merry chase. But she won’t be able to outrun the lion—or the man in hot pursuit. What he suspects is mating heat may not be that at all. Just his animal instincts rioting, pacing, irritated whenever he’s away from her. What ensues is a fiery affair that breaks all the rules of mating heat and will eventually endanger his mate with the very rules designed to protect the Breeds—for she’s possibly been working against them… “A LORA LEIGH NOVEL IS ALWAYS A MUST READ!”— Fresh Fiction Praise for Lora Leigh’s Novels of the Breeds “When it comes to this genre, Lora Leigh is The Queen.”— Romance Junkies “Highly charged and carnal.”— Fresh Fiction “Incredibly sexy and emotionally riveting…tons of action and seriously hot, erotic sex.”— SmexyBooks “Delivers with Ms. Leigh’s trademark fast-paced, high-adrenaline ride into the intriguing world of this series and leaves readers ready for more.”— Night Owl Reviews “It is phenomenal.”— Joyfully Reviewed “Wickedly seductive with sizzling sex scenes that will leave you begging for more.”— ParaNormal Romance “Erotic and suspenseful.”— Romance Junkies “Heart-wrenching.”— Fallen Angel Reviews “Leigh’s action-packed Breeds series makes a refreshing change.”— Monsters and Critics “No-holds-barred sex…Which is to say it happens often and explosively.”— Errant Dreams “Sizzling hot erotic romance combines with tense suspense.”— Romance Reviews Today “Lora Leigh doesn’t disappoint when it comes to sexiness, intrigue, and an added little bit of humor.”— Bitten by Love Reviews Lora Leigh is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of  the Breed novels, including most recently Lawe's Justice , Stygian's Honor , Navarro's Promise , and Styx's Storm . She is also the author of the Nauti Boys novels including Nauti Deceptions , Nauti Intentions , and Nauti Dreams .  Sometimes, it just didn’t pay a man or a Breed to make a decision, Rule decided as he lounged against the bar at yet another honky-tonk on the list of known clubs Gypsy often found herself at. Knowing he’d finally caught up with her hadn’t helped his mood, or his irritation. She’d eluded him for a week and he was growing tired of waiting for her to get her ass back to town.Rule was beginning to think he was going to have to actually chase her down if he was ever going to see her again.A week between sightings was too damned long a wait, especially once he’d made up his mind to have her.After going without the sight of her the past week, he was as antsy as an addict needing a fix and wondering if he should worry about that reaction.And that just pissed him off.Maybe he just had an addictive personality, he thought as he watched her and several of her friends stroll purposely onto the dance floor.She was preparing to dance, and God bless her heart but she could turn grown men into slavering animals hungry to fuck whenever she danced. The smell of their lust never failed to cause him to glower at any maleunlucky enough to catch his gaze.Maybe he was just too damned used to finding her whenever he wanted to.  Hell, he’d watched her practically grow up. He couldn’t count the times he’d slipped to Window Rock in the past nine years to check on the broken, traumatized child who had fought sovaliantly against those Coyotes so long ago.And he had to say, she’d grown into a hell of a woman.She was wary and secretive, and the effects of the night her brother died were often apparent in her too-serious gaze.But she’d turned into a hell of a beauty.And he was a sucker for a woman in black leather too.Miss Gypsy Rum McQuade had adopted a penchant for black leather just after her eighteenth birthday. And she’d been driving him crazy just as long too.Watching the dainty form, leather boots over her knees, short black leather skirt clinging to her hips and luscious ass, a black leather vest that flashed her bronzed belly and the upper curves of her full breasts, he couldn’t help but grin.He might have been drooling a little, and damn he hoped Dane Vanderale hadn’t caught him. But hell, that woman was built to tempt, seduce and deliver, all in one package. Rule decided he was the Breed to collect on it too.He was damned sure tired of all that lush, pretty body going unclaimed by him.Jaw clenching, his cock throbbing, he watched as she moved. Lifting her arms and moving her hips, her legs shifting gracefully in four-inch heels, her expression becoming exotic, erotic.
