In the first few pages our story is set up for us, Assistant D.A. Sara Hughes is on a suicide mission. Thing is she is just too worked up thinking about what has to be done to realize she is writing her own death warrant. Out at night heading to a seedy bar, hoping to corner the owner Daniels about a man who works for him and the murder of a young woman. Little does she realize, as sharp, intelligent and downright fearless she is in a courtroom, Sara is way out of her element. Daniels and her suspect Codger have the upper hand, and overhearing Daniels confess to not one but two murders is going to all but seal the deal on her death. That is if Daniels and Codger have anything to do with it.
Out to catch his bounty Codger and bring him in, Neol has caught the sight and the scent of the stunning beautiful D.A. He has been watching her for some time in court as she puts his bounties behind bars sitting in the back admiring her from afar, knowing that he can not touch her. He would be a goner.
That was until he heard her screaming for her life, desperate to get away at the hands of Daniels' men who were going to rape then kill her. His inner cougar was being called out and he knew he had to rescue her. But Neol holds many secrets of his Red Moon Clan, two years ago he had to give up his life as a cop, a job in which he LOVED, his Grandfather called him down to take his rightful place amongst his people and become a medicaine man. He would be a shifter, one with nature and would be able to control the earth's elements. A powerful, powerful job, a responsibility that he was hesitant yet honored to take.
What follows is a story of immense trust between Sara and Neol as he helps her run for her life towards safety and out of Daniels grasp. They bond instantly, but Sara is a cleaver girl and knows that although this handsome rugged man just saved her life, about a dozen times, there is something about him deep down that is being back.
Neol is skilled and fearless, but still drifting through life as he continues to take the highest payout and most dangerous of bounties, using his skills as a Navajo Medicine Man to help track his prey. This time the reclusive man can't hold back, someone is after his True Mate and he will do anything, even kill to save her.
On the run for their lives the adventure just keeps going and the romance and trust between the two heat up the pages making for a delicious and explosive ride! Cherie De Sues masterfully created two lovable & in-depth characters, perfectly illustrating who they are and how they feel dealing with both their insecurities and inner struggles much less their budding relationship while they fight for their lives. The plot is entertaining and left me on the edge, just when I thought I could take a breather, De Sues sucks you back into the action for another dramatic roller coaster ride that will leave you wind blown and gasping for air. BRAVO!
Neol Pallaton walks alone through the bowels of society as a bounty hunter, until he shifts into a cougar to save Assistant D.A. Sara Hughes from certain death. A relentless killer keeps them moving by day through the Oregon forest—and by night under the full moon, passion rules their hearts.
The rugged forest is no place for a beautiful and feisty city woman, but Neol’s determined to help Sara piece together why she's being hunted. Sara thought bounty hunters were brutal loners who stretched the law she’s sworn to uphold. But Neol proves that no one can hunt, track and protect her like a Navajo medicine man from the Red Moon Clan.
Neol is willing to anger the spirits to protect his one true mate. Sara will have to bend the law to keep Neol and her alive—and together forever
