The Lion’s Sunshine By Caitlin Ricci

Toby wasn’t looking for love when he stumbled into a biker bar during the worst storm of the year. He was looking for shelter, a phone charger, and maybe some fries.

What he found was Knox—six feet of possessive lion shifter who took one look at Toby in his soaking wet cat cardigan and decided mine.

One night changes everything. But when Toby discovers hints of Knox’s past, he wonders if he’s really special or just the latest in a long line.

Knox has never claimed anyone before. Now he just has to prove it.
