Lion's Heart

Facing a lonely existence after the death of her mother, Healer Selena is startled when two strangers show up on her doorstep. One is badly injured, beyond her help. It is the injured man's companion who draws her notice. She wonders how much her mother had to do with bringing him here. After all, Selena's mother was a witch. The ruby she enchanted before she died is glowing, telling Selena that this man is her chosen mate. But he's a shapeshifter, a being she has learned to distrust. Tristan had been against the journey with his godfather, Jacob, but a promise is a promise. An attack by outlaws sealed his fate. Injured and on the run, they come upon a secluded cabin and a beautiful woman. When she shows powers that go beyond the imagination, he is certain he's been bewitched, but for some reason, he doesn't mind as much as he thought he would. When he finds out she is actually the daughter of his mentor, he knows there are forces at work that go beyond the realm of normalcy. His lion recognizes her as his mate, it takes the man a little longer.
