He's Theo, head of security for Lézare Arceneaux.He's also Theodoros Ricoletti, son of an Italian lion shifter and his Greek servant woman, raised by the servants in secret until the lion shifter learned he had a son. Theodoros Ricoletti, stolen by his lion shifter father from his servant woman mother, reared by governesses and nannies, sent off to a boarding school, only to run away and join a group of roving shifters. He's only loved one woman, ever. A beautiful, dark-skinned, glowing-eyed barefooted beauty from the bayou. She betrayed him by casting a spell on him to make him fall in love with another. Just because the spell's been broken doesn't mean that all is healed.She's Leandra, swamp witch of New Orleans.She's also Leandra Mathieu, one of the most powerful witches in the surrounding New Orleans. Her ancestors have saved the ass of the Arceneaux Clan more than once. Now, so has she. But she bears secrets.And blood ties.She shouldn't have fallen for a shifter. She shouldn't have cast the spell on him to make him fall in love with another, either. She has paid enough. Or has she?
