Lion shifter Lucius feels like he’s been waiting for his soulmate forever. Working security at the Amazing Adventures Safari Park and keeping the secret of his shifting nature from humans means he can’t just go out and find his mate—she has to come to him. When lonely artist Sidney gets an email from the park with a free VIP safari tour coupon, she’s excited to escape her boring job at her mom’s salon and sketch the majestic animals instead. What she doesn’t expect is an instant and undeniable connection between her and Lucius that leads to a passionate night together. But when she spends the night in his park apartment, she wakes up in bed with a lion. In a panic, Sidney runs from the apartment and is caught by the park’s security and told the truth about the hidden world of shifters and that she’s Lucius’s soulmate. Once Sidney understands the need for secrecy and why she felt so compelled to be with Lucius, she’s told that not only can she never tell her mom the truth about shifters, Lucius can’t live anywhere but the park. If she wants to build a life with Lucius, she has to choose: her mom and the family business, or Lucius and her heart.
