A tiger shifter searching for a safe place to
hide. A lynx shifter trying to prove herself. Neither expecting the desire that
flares between them … nor the danger stalking them. Suspense and passion fill
the pages of Predator’s Refuge, Book 3 of Rosanna Leo’s thrilling
romance series, Gemini Island Shifters.
Lynx shifter Marci Lennox has worked at the
shifter-friendly Ursa Fishing Lodge and Resort all her adult life. It’s more a
home to her than a job. When her boss goes on vacation, putting her in charge,
Marci is thrilled. Finally a chance to prove she has the mettle to run a
resort.
Her confidence is shaken when new employee Anton Gaspar appears. One look at the mysterious tiger shifter spells trouble for Marci and for her sex-crazed lynx. Anton is judgmental, condescending, and a little misogynistic. Unfortunately, Marci’s lynx thinks his tiger is more delicious than an oversized bag of Maltesers.
It becomes difficult for Marci to remain neutral near Anton, especially when she learns of his troubling past and unusual family circumstances. However, when dangerous incidents occur on the resort, the lynx woman and tiger man join forces to combat the threat to the lodge and its guests.
Harder still is the quest to combat their explosive feelings for one another. As they explore their mutual passion, they realize the danger at the resort is more insidious than they ever envisioned. Their dreams, their love, and their very lives are at stake.

Read an Excerpt:
Immediately, the fragrance hit him,
activating his Jacobson’s organ. He swallowed, tasting it on his tongue and at
the back of his throat, and wondered if he was mistaken.
No, how could he mistake the unique
scent of a female cat in heat? It was too delicious a scent to forget.
Sweetness coated his taste buds, winding a delirious path down his throat. As
his head swam, he blinked and tried to clear his thoughts of the sexual imagery
racing through it.
The scent did not belong to another
tiger shifter, but some other type of predatory cat. One whose perfume he
hadn’t sampled before. One who must be particular to this region. Cougar? No.
Mountain lion? Surely not.
Whatever she was, her scent teased him
with its delicious flavor.
Don’t, he warned
himself. Wasn’t it enough that he spent the last few years of his existence
trying to escape the sick wiles of the grasping women at court? And God only
knew how hard he’d worked to maintain a state of abstinence at Pannonhalma,
devoting his life to meditation. He’d come here to work, not lose himself in a
sweet piece of…
Stop it. This was
no time to think of pussy, even though he’d never been more desperate for a
taste of creaming woman.
His tiger howled inside him, hungry
for that which it had been denied for almost two years.
Still the perfume, more intoxicating
than any he’d known, wafted toward him. He wanted to close his eyes and drink
it in. The unyielding power of the aroma could make him forget his vows.
Granted, he wasn’t really a monk, but he had followed the monastic lifestyle
from day one at Pannonhalma. The purity in the monk’s life had been the very
thing he’d required to get his life back on track.
So why did he want to find the source
of the scent and fuck her until she begged alternately for mercy and for more?
Her need seemed strong. Whoever this lady cat was, she must be in dire agony
for her scent to be so powerful.
None of his business.
Mentally caging the growling tiger
inside him, he shook his head and approached the front desk. He dropped his
luggage and cleared his throat at the woman working there. Her head had been
down as she read some reports, but she looked up now.
“Welcome to the Ursa…” Her jaw fell
open and her sentence hung in the air, unfinished and clearly forgotten.
Well, well. A
beautiful little lynx.
