A werelion, a sexy female and a maniac.

When Fawna Zanabio's marriage implodes without any hint of warning she becomes embroiled in a poisonous high-profile divorce. It shatters her soul, leaving her confidence lower than a snake's belly.

She is different from everyone else. Her sense of empathy is sometimes overwhelming and every time she's going through turmoil, like she is now, books appear out of thin air. Unbeknownst to her, she is a descendent of a powerful Empathy Empress from Magic, New Mexico.

Two years to the day she's ready to release the acrimony, Alexandru's Kiss by S.E. Smith materializes right before her eyes so she brazenly says yes when her exotic flight instructor asks her out. Her divorce has left her bruised and battered, but not blind. He has a nice butt. She's moving on and carving out a new life for herself. He has other plans.

Chaz Xanadu, of the Red Fire Pride, is a werelion leader with no pack. Over two years ago, his foolishness cost him dear. As part of the Ancient Ripper Society, an order sworn to protect the Seven Realms, he hunts the souless.

Like the man he just sniffed walking passed him in the airport. The woman he's with has no idea she's walking arm in arm with death.

The innocence in her heart swirling around her recent wounds makes her vulnerable. With a split second to figure out how to save her from doom without revealing his shifter powers, both of their destinies depend on what he does next. Will he have time to save her and 206 innocent human souls without forever tainting Magic?
