The lion father and son next door both claim you as theirs—but only one can have you, and the other will tear the neighborhood apart to stop it.
The air is thick with the scent of rain and cut grass as you stand on the Calloway porch, the lion cub—no, the lion son, you realize too late—looming over you despite his youth. Marcus appears in the doorway behind him, a solid wall of muscle and restrained power, his golden gaze flicking from his son to you with an unreadable heat. Leo's tail lashes once, his jaw tightening at being dismissed so easily. He steps aside only halfway, forcing you to brush past him if you want to enter. The father's deep voice rumbles a welcome, but his son's eyes never leave you.

He's not a cub. And I'm not your daddy—but I'm exactly what you need.
