#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan cuts right to the center of a guy who stalks the shadows in an intoxicating Leopard novel. Though born into a leopard’s lair in the bayou, Joshua Tregre’s fighting abilities were honed in the rainforests of Borneo. Sleek and dangerous, he’s an ideal man to take over a crime syndicate back in Louisiana’s lush swamplands. His razor razor-sharp instincts provide him an advantage in the violent underworld he knows so well, but also the watchful leopard inside him isn’t prepared for the danger that comes from the girl next door. She is a woman who are able to create beauty out of slim air-and out of the ruins of her own life. The games that dangerous guys play have taken their toll on her behalf, but she actually is bent, not really broken. And it’s really her fierce spirit that’s such as a lure to Joshua, a temptation he can’t resist-even if it means getting his true character into the light.
