She left because he couldn't love her the way she needed...

Human Kat Saburova had her heart broken by the Shifter Council's ruthless enforcer. So she left and never looked back. A year later, an attack that nearly kills her brings him back into her orbit-but she wants nothing to do with him.

Now he'll do anything to save her...

Shifter Jayce Kazan has made countless enemies, but for a short time he found peace with a sweet, funny human. Though it tore his heart out, he let her go for her own good. But someone tried to kill her and inadvertently turned her into a shifter. And now that she's in danger, he'll cross every line to save her. Even if that means saving her from herself. As he fights for a second chance, the extremists who almost killed her once are looking to finish the job...

SECOND EDITION - This updated and revised edition is the author's preferred text.

Author's Note: Mating Instinct was originally published by Berkley and the rights have recently reverted back to me. Since then, I've done some light editing and rewriting. So if the cover looks new but the title feels familiar, that's why!
