Jude Mason and his identical twin brother are ocelots. In the paranormal world, that means that they are less than everyone else. They are considered abominations, chased from one pride territory to the next, never knowing if someone is going to attack them or where they might find their next meal. When Jude stops off at a local bar to get a glass of milk, he finds the one thing he thought heβd never haveβhis mate. Thereβs just one problemβ¦his mate is human and knows nothing of the shifter world or the bond that just formed between them.
Tripp Van Buren never imagined heβd fall for a geeky little guy with glasses and a surprising giggle. But after meeting the strange man, he canβt stop thinking about him. Itβs almost an obsession. And so is the need to keep Jude protected from everything. When Tripp goes back to the bar for Jude, he discovers a world he never had a clue aboutβshifters, mates, claiming, mating heat, and something different about Jude that takes them all by surprise. Tripp knows that if he wants to stay in this odd world with Jude, heβll need to learn everything he can about it. But will he still want Jude after he learns just how unique Jude is?
