Book excerpt: A bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks… Persian cat shifter Fiona Tehrani can’t stop thinking about being in Jett Banner’s arms no matter how much she shouldn’t. Not only is she intrigued by the danger of being with a man her mother hates, but he’s her fated mate. Returning to Heartland and seeing him again has stirred up the feelings she tried so hard to ignore, and this time her cat won’t let her stay away from him. But as things heat up, she knows she has to make a choice. Lose her family and the money that goes with it or walk away from the man she loves. Hawk shifter Jett Banner knows he should stay away from Fiona Tehrani. Ever since they gave into their desire the summer after high school, he hasn’t been able to forget her. She’s rich, gorgeous, and totally out of his league. She’s also forbidden by both her family and his. But she’s the only woman he could ever love, and now he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win her heart and claim her as his mate.
