The Lion Witch (Paranormal Romance That Rocks #9)

Pride packs a punch, but packs should never get in the way of the heart.

The federation of Valet de Chambre has ordered Verena, Queen of the planet Effeminate to produce a male heir for her kingdom within the next 30 moon cycles or she and her planet of female lion shifters will be forced into a life of servitude under Jaxson, King of the planet Emir and most of their Equipoise solar system.
With her heart set on saving her planet, she voyages out of her solar system to find a man from the planet Earth worthy enough to produce an heir that will suffice the new laws of the federation of Valet de Chambre. 
The boy will grow and train to become Effeminate’s king. 
But what Verena wasn’t counting on was falling for Ciro DeLuca who drew her into his world and his circle of friends that he considers family. 
She hadn’t known family in 170 moon cycles because Jaxson, a powerful king and panther shifter in his own right, killed her parents in the Battle of Quell. This forced the now named queen to have to produce an heir under federation law.
Ciro holds a secret too. He is a werewitch and finds his werewolf side has completely fallen for Verena but his witch side knows she is hiding something and he hopes his clan can help him find out what she is keeping from him. 
Will Verena mate with Ciro and save her planet in time? Or will her fears of losing him to her lie overcome her?
Will Ciro help Verena save her planet once he finds out the truth?
