Stripes and Kisses

She’s used to flying high. He’s used to being in charge. Somebody’s about to crash and burn.

Pilot Lila Channing loves three things: her jet, her freedom, and telling bossy men to shove their opinions. So when Gerri Wilder offers her a ridiculously well-paid charter flight, Lila figures it’s easy money. What she doesn’t expect is Niko Mercer—a six-foot-plus, growly, muscle-packed tiger Alpha with a killer body and an attitude that begs to be adjusted. The man takes one look at her and starts acting like he owns the cockpit. Too bad for him, Lila doesn’t take orders. Especially from men who make her panties spontaneously combust.

Niko Mercer runs a security empire, commands dangerous shifters, and has never met a situation he couldn’t control. Then one sexy, smart-mouthed pilot walks into his life, and his tiger loses its damn mind. She’s his mate. His future. The one woman he wants beneath him more than his next breath. Too bad Lila treats his Alpha authority like a personal challenge. Niko wants to protect her, claim her, and convince her that surrendering to him could be the best ride of her life. Preferably somewhere private, where clothing is optional, and she can argue with him all she wants.

But when saboteurs bring down Lila’s jet and rogue shifters come hunting, their simple charter turns into a deadly game of survival. Stranded in the wilderness with killers on their trail, Lila’s determined to prove she can handle herself, while Niko’s tiger is one growl away from going completely feral. Now Lila has to survive a murderous conspiracy, an overprotective Alpha, and the terrifying possibility that falling for one bossy tiger might be the biggest thrill of her life. And somewhere, Gerri Wilder is probably already picking out honeymoon destinations.
