Shifting Pride

"Curiosity brings out the Kitty..." Sixteen-year-old Nickie Leone has proof her father is still alive. His watch arrives in the mail, with a note telling her to "keep it hidden," and her curiosity is piqued. She obeys the request, even keeping it hidden from her mother. But when an email from her father disappears before her very eyes, she begins to question her own sanity. And things get even more complicated when she meets Xavian Katz, the blue-eyed, blonde hottie whose contagious smile and ridiculous sense of humor make her want to tell him all her secrets. But there's a current beneath his charm that she can't quite read. He's hiding something. When Nickie grows pointed ears and whiskers...and then a tail ...Xavian (who always seems to knows the right time to be around) seems unsurprised. He's a shapeshifter too, a coincidence that Nickie can't deny or ignore. She needs his help to master her new abilities, because her father's rival, Derek, wants her to join his tribe. The last thing she wants is to be under his rule, but Derek's got something to do with her dad's disappearance--she knows it. And maybe letting herself be captured is the best way to find out...
