Lyin' Heart (Grayslake: More Than Mated Universe)

No one lies sexier than a werelion.

Werecats are the most seductive and deceptive of all shifters. They can lie with the best of them, even to themselves. Even to their own hearts.

Curvy wildcat Ellie Lowe is lying to a whole town of werebears—and even to herself—trying to convince them she can manage a rundown B&B and raise her half-wildcat, half-werebear son just fine all by herself. She can even pretend she doesn’t find the new werelion in town, Aubrey Drummond, as sexy as sin itself. If she can’t keep up the front, the bear clan that claims Grayslake, Georgia as their territory might also claim the right to take Ellie’s son.

Aubrey Dreyer, aka Drummond, has been lying all his life, professionally, first as a double agent in the special marshal’s unit tasked with hunting the shifters and other supernaturals hiding among humans. Now he’s intelligence for the alliance of cat shifter clans known as the Panthera. The enclave of fugitive cat shifters he’s trying to convince the Grayslake bear clan to allow in their territory is really a safe house for werecat spies. If he doesn’t let his respect for the bear clan leader and his growing attraction to Ellie Lowe get in the way, he just might pull it off.

But interspecies shifter politics and government intrigue have to take a backseat when Ellie’s son goes missing. All bets are off, all pretenses come down, and Ellie and Aubrey must confront the truth about themselves if they are going to save the boy and any hope of the three becoming a family of their own.

Lyin’ Heart is a BBW paranormal shapeshifter romance novella bringing together the worlds of USA Today bestseller Erika Masten’s Panthera shifters (first appearing in the Aesir Shifters werewolf romances) and NYT bestseller Celia Kyle’s Grayslake: More Than Mated shifter series.
