He's Theo, head of security for Lézare Arceneaux.
He's also Theodoros Ricoletti, son of an Italian lion shifter and his Greekservant woman, raised by the servants in secret until the lion shifterlearned he had a son. Theodoros Ricoletti, stolen by his lion shifterfather from his servant woman mother, reared by governesses and nannies, sent off to a boarding school, only to run away and join a group ofroving shifters. He's only loved one woman, ever. A beautiful,dark-skinned, glowing-eyed barefooted beauty from the bayou. Shebetrayed him by casting a spell on him to make him fall in love withanother. Just because the spell's been broken doesn't mean that all ishealed.
She's Leandra, swamp witch of New Orleans.
She's also Leandra Mathieu, one of the most powerful witches in thesurrounding New Orleans. Her ancestors have saved the ass of theArceneaux Clan more than once. Now, so has she. But she bears secrets.And blood ties.
She shouldn't have fallen for a shifter. Sheshouldn't have cast the spell on him to make him fall in love withanother, either. She has paid enough. Or has she?
