D'Kota lost it all... until Yani fell into his arms.

I gave everything I had. From the moment I signed my name on that piece of paper, I knew I'd die serving my country... and my fellow shifters. My father, my grandfather, and so on through my documented ancestry, the first male son always upheld the honor of the family by serving.

Except, I came home in pieces. As I lay there, a broken male, my family said I should have died. Exiled from the Pride. Years of physical therapy gave me the strength to walk again, but it was too late. I have nothing left to live for.

Then Yani barged through the door, tripping into my arms.

Something's changing inside of me. She consumes my every thought. Before I struggled to find a moment of peace, now I crave the craziness that comes with her. Yani is my fated mate.

The council forbids shifters to mate with humans. Plus, there's a secret organization dead set on destroying our mate bond. No one will stop me from claiming my fated mate, and I'll eliminate anyone who threatens us.

Marked by the Lion is the second in a series of steamy, black ops bodyguard shifter romances. If you love daring adventures, bearded heroes, and fated mates, then you won't want to miss out on this...
