Ameralla is a Mafia princess with a heart and a conscious, trying to separate herself from the infamy surrounding the Capone family. Yes, THAT Capone! She found love once with her college sweetheart and she has their amazing toddler. But she ends up in the middle of a bank robbery undertaken by her family and she decides to testify against them. But when the bodyguard she is paired with turns out to be Francois, said college sweetie, she has more to reveal to him than just her read identity, he is also a father! Francois was left bereft when his mate left him after college. He enrolled in the ALFA programme right after and has been on the go from one assignment to the next ever since. When he and Amie are once again paired together, he can't believe Fate has brought her to him once again. But now he has to fend off the Mafia, magic wielders, demons, oh and tell her he is a Cougar Shifter! on him. Great read. I loved Ameralla and "French Fry" is totally an old soul in a wee body! Francois and his little town of shifters, well I wanna move there! They are a hoot and so close knit. I loves all the types of shifters and I can't believe I missed book 1. The wishlist has grown again!
