Blurb:
Alycia’s always possessed an affinity for cats, big and small. But
when she’s kidnapped by a being more feline than human it turns from
an asset to a issue. A six-foot five sexy one.

Barrick never dreamed when he paid the best matchmaker in the galaxy
to find his mate she would choose one so… different. Alycia is a
headstrong, opinionated, melt in your mouth delicious distraction.
She’s nothing he wanted and everything he needs.

Excerpt:

She hadn’t been paying a lot of attention. Not until she heard the
leaves crunching. The GPS hadn’t shown any cats nearby but the hair
on the nape of her neck was standing on end. She could swear that
there was one in the tall yellowed grass to her left. She didn’t
chance a look over to make sure. If it was a male, he might take the
direct eye contact as a form of aggression.

Her bike wasn’t that far away but, counting the time it was going to
take to start the thing, she wouldn’t make it. But what was the
other alternative? Stay here and be dinner? Not freaking likely.

Alycia took a breath, hoping to slow down her thundering heart. One.
She darted a quick look over into the grass. It shifted. There was
definitely something there. Two. She bent down towards the water
again. Three. She pivoted and took off in the direction of her ATV.

She was almost there but something was right on her heels. She
yanked the key from the lanyard around her neck. Jumping on the
bike, she jammed the key into the switch and turned it on. The motor
roaring to life didn’t drown out the sound of the tiger’s roar.

With a small squeeze of the handlebars, the bike jerked forward. She
raised her head in time to see the tiger launch at her. Her hands
instinctively flew up to protect her face. It hit her squarely in
the chest, knocking her onto the ground. The air whooshed from her
lungs and her head bounced on the ground.
