The Alpha's Forbidden Mate

Even though male lynx shifter Arizona Collins knows choosing a human as a mate comes with complications, one look into Gillian Wallis's eyes and he knows she is his mate. As he and Gillian adjust to mated life in their remote village, it's not her humanness that gives them grief. It's one of Arizona's best friends, Stone, who first pulls away and then disappears.

Gillian knew that taking Arizona as her mate would plunge her into a world law school never prepared her for, but no man ever made her feel the way Arizona does. She loves him with a passion she didn't know was inside her. But when he and Canyon, another best friend, finally discover where and with whom Stone has been hiding, a threat from a neighboring village comes with it. A threat that has Arizona racing against time to save his mate.
