Hard as Ice (Ariel Estates #2)

Eli Novak, lion-shifter and Secretary of Ariel Estates existence has never been more fulfilled. Or more torn and confused in his life. No male has ever heated his blood or crept into his dreams before. Well, except for one. But that was over long before it ever started. So he’s straight, right? He loves women. Always has. So how can this strawberry-blond human male who stumbled onto their land have him questioning everything he ever thought he knew about himself.

Shayne Matthews is lost in the Smokey Mountains when a light in the distance leads the way to what he believes to be a potential rescue. But it’s a path that ends up landing him in a cell and inside a world he never knew existed. Fear turns to lust, and a whirlwind of an adventure places him in the middle of a battle for dominance and power.

When the thirst for blood at Ariel Estates rears its ugly head once more, Eli is forced into a triangle of options where there is no right move. How does one choose between his best friend, the human who’s claimed his heart, and the pride’s best interest?
