Zeno Dresden is a tiger shifter, a dedicated police officer, and the only one in his family determined to avoid finding a mate. While his brothers have embraced love, loyalty, and destiny, Zeno wants none of it. He values his freedom, his badge, and his independence-and he's convinced a mate would cost him all three. He's determined to stay free, unattached, and in control of his own life-even if it means pushing away everyone who cares about him.
Anna knows what it's like to be overlooked, underestimated, and pulled into trouble she didn't ask for. She is just trying to live a quiet life, focused on her work and raising her daughter in a small town that feels safe and familiar. She isn't looking for drama, danger, or a powerful shifter who turns her world upside down the moment they meet. When Anna crosses paths with Zeno, the pull between them is instant and undeniable. The last thing either of them wants is a bond that could change everything, but fate has other plans. As instincts collide with emotion and loyalty clashes with fear, Zeno must decide whether he's willing to accept the bond he's been fighting-or risk losing everything that matters most. Zeno is a gripping paranormal tiger shifter romance about reluctant mates, fierce family loyalty, and discovering that destiny doesn't take no for an answer.
