Unedited blurb:
Running into a winged lion shifter was never in Mitch's plans. But that isn't the first shocking surprise for Mitch as he steps onto the Bluebird Valley Preserve. The place has its fair share of wildlife, including shifters, most of whom Mitch never knew existed. As a caracal shifter, Mitch isn't worried about living in a community filled with oddities and unusual types. It's his innate ability to draw energy from humidity and release it as an explosion that makes him wonder if his stay will be all too short. The three ring circus there he can handle. It's Calix, the saber-toothed cat that knocks him off balance.
Calix is a vet and a physician. Great in theory—except he can only diagnose, not heal. Still grieving from the death of a loved one, he vows to protect his heart from another crushing blow. Then, he saves a caracal shifter from the flood waters. When he sees Mitch, he struggles with leaving the past behind and making a future for himself including Mitch.
Raging waters and mudslides threaten, leaving the whole preserve at risk. Mitch puts his life on the line to rescue Calix. But, it's Calix's heart that Mitch finds the most challenging and worthwhile to win.
