Series Spotlight and Excerpt Rebel Lion Book Three Lion shifter Dell O’Roarke has never been seri- ous about life, but life is about to get serious with him. The beautiful stranger who’s just ar- rived in Maui isn’t looking for just anyone — she’s looking for him. And that’s not just any surprise in her luggage — it’s a baby who looks a hell of a lot like him. Soon, Dell discovers there’s more at stake than his lifestyle as a swinging bachelor. Vengeful shifters are hot on the stranger’s heels, making Dell wonder — are they after the woman, the baby, or him? Marketing executive Anjali Jain hasn’t taken a vacation in years — and she sure isn’t on vacation now. She’s simply keeping a promise, and then she’ll be back to climbing the corporate ladder. But there’s nothing simple about taking care of a baby — or handing that baby off to a handsome, mysterious stranger who feels like a long-lost friend. Easygoing, relaxed Dell isn’t her type, and yet the more he reluctantly reveals of his hidden, soulful side, the deeper she falls in love. So deep, she finds herself risking her career, ambitions, and even her life. How can one man possibly awake so many of her hidden desires at the same time? What evil power forces behind the brutal murder of her best friend? Any why does she have the feeling there’s something not quite human about the murderers — or about Dell?
