When an Alpha Growls. A Lion's Pride, #16

This alpha growls.and bites. As a forest ranger-and alpha of the Isle Pack-Jude can't wait for the tourist season to end so he can enjoy some peace and quiet. First, though, he needs to survive the trauma of the country's biggest lion's pride infesting his park for an impromptu vacation. Is there anything more annoying than a cat? How about dozens of them rampaging through his peaceful oasis? They're terrorizing the wild herds of moose-usually his job-climbing the trees to pounce on the unsuspecting and sharpening their claws on every damned tree, cabin, and piece of furniture they come across.
There's one feline in particular that's extra aggravating. Hazel Guerra. A lioness with a flirtatious smile, come-hither glances, and curves he really shouldn't be noticing. Jude doesn't want or need a girlfriend, and most definitely not a cat!When it comes time for the lions to leave, he's ready to breathe a sigh of relief, only not all of them decamp. Hazel ends up staying behind because her niece has gone missing.?Locating the missing child-while resisting her sexy guardian-isn't Jude's only problem.
An enemy from his past has surfaced looking for a fight. All this drama is enough to make an alpha growl-and a lioness purr. Author's Note: Yes, I know the cover design isn't the same as the rest of the series. With the original artist no longer available, I had the choice of either abandoning the lion series or writing new stories using a new designer for the covers. I chose the latter so I could continue bringing you more stories of the Pride you've come to love.
