Therian Heat Part 1. Box Set, #8

THERIAN PRIESTESS (Prequel): In the time before recorded history, Jatara is a faithful priestess of the Mother Creator, Bellin. Like all Therian women, she is empowered to absorb the animal nature of the male who defines her. But her father has ordered her to mate with a rival clan's leader, which will destroy her connection to Bellin. Angry and frightened, she rebels, determined to live on her own terms.
Jatara's bravery impresses Bellin, who promises her a new destiny. She will become the first Omni Prime, a specially gifted Therian who will work to free all her kind's women from oppression. To claim her power, she must surrender herself to the mighty god Khonish. Jatara yearns for the joining with the sexy and intriguing god. Until she meets the mortal man destined to be her mate. THERIAN PREY: Before Carissa has time to react to her sister's disappearance, she's kidnapped and taken deep into the Colorado mountains.
Her kidnapper swears he's protecting her, but Carissa doesn't know what to believe. He emanates danger, strength and raw sexuality. She's drawn to him, craves his demanding kiss and the slide of his hard body against and into hers. Quinn has always been an outsider, scorned and mistrusted by other Therian shapeshifters. Now he's in the middle of a budding civil war and he's not sure how to disentangle himself without endangering Carissa.
Though her powers are latent, Carissa has the potential of becoming the most powerful Therian the world has ever seen. It was Quinn's intention to bring Carissa to safety and simply walk away, but one taste of her sweet lips and he knows he'll never let her go. She won't be truly safe until she's selected her mate-and he intends to be the one she chooses. THERIAN PROMISE: Kyle is the youngest feline-shifter ever to sit on the Prime council and he's determined to prove himself worthy of the honor.
A latent female with unbelievable potential has been identified by the wolves, so Kyle sets out to find her before his enemies make her one of them. Terrified and alone, Ava manages to stay one step ahead of her pursuers until a disturbing vision leaves her weak and confused. She steps out into the cool mountain morning and a gorgeous stranger pulls her into his arms. From the moment they first touch, passion erupts between the unsuspecting couple.
Kyle is attracted to Ava's quick wit and feisty spirit while his cat wants to touch her, taste her and make her scream with pleasure. Trust doesn't come easily for Ava. Her past has taught her to be wary, but she senses a soul-deep connection with Kyle. Each secret they unearth reveals a more challenging conflict, yet together they can face any enemy.
