Aboard the Felidae warship, The Shahnaz and Felid - Present Day

Catan Lynxis is in a quandary. Recently, Laithe Gatti, his pride leader, found a human mate, Rowan, and claimed Fahd (a male Pardus) as his and Rowan’s lover. Now the pheromones are thick in the air aboard the Shahnaz and even Catan, with his tragic past, isn’t immune. With five other males aboard who would happily provide the companionship he desires, it isn’t a lack of available men that holds him back. Catan knows there’s only one man he wants to get close to, Asad Gatti, Laithe’s brother. It was Asad who found his broken body and kept watch over him as he recovered from the attack of a group of Leos who killed Catan’s family and raped Catan repeatedly. If only Asad would show some sign that he returns his feelings.

Asad Gatti doesn’t know how much longer he can resist claiming Catan as his mate. Surely the little Lynx knows how much he loves him? Well, there’s no hope for it, Catan can’t be pushed after what happened to him, and surely someday soon he’ll be open to love and all the joys they can share.

While on Felid for a meeting, Catan is kidnapped by the same group that destroyed his life once before. Can Asad rescue Catan in time to prevent any more damage to the man he loves most in the world? Or will Catan’s loving soul be extinguished forever? You’ll have to get ASAD’S MATE to find out.

With plenty of action and sex scenes  that are filled with both tenderness and oh-baby heat, ASAD’S MATE is a satisfying follow up to LAITHE’S PRIDE. As a Lynx, Catan knows that he would have been expected to settle down with a Lynx female, raise a brood and stay on his home world forever. The possibility of seeing the world aboard a warship, or having a relationship with another man, would never have arisen if not for the attack that irreparably impacted his life. He’s amazed to find that not only could he fall in love with a man, but that Asad could return his feelings. Asad is so determined to protect the man he loves that he fails to notice the signs (subtle though they may be) that Catan is ready to take their relationship to the next level. When Catan is taken away from him, Asad knows that he’ll do anything to get him back, and when he does, he’ll leave no doubt in Catan’s mind that he’s loved and wanted.

Fahd, Laithe and Rowan are still enjoying each other’s company and are comfortable displaying the feelings they have for one another. We get to know Morgan of the Pardus clan and Asad’s other brothers a little better: Lev, the next to youngest brother and Usama, the youngest and a rare white lion. Usama and Rajiv of the Tigris are the next characters to have their story told in USAMA’S JOURNEY (coming soon).

Asad and Catan make a fabulous pair and you’re not going to want to miss it when they finally get together. Stop by Changeling Press and get a copy of ASAD’S MATE today, it’s guaranteed to leave you purring.
