Summary

Flirting with the Zodiac #5

Leopard shifter Nix has always been rough and tumble, and the threat of insurrection and violence in post-war Rasalas suits him just fine. Bomb threats and busting trafficking rings are just another day’s work as he and the rest of the president’s pride—Bern, Zo, and Wei—work to protect Rasala’s fragile new democracy and Regulus himself.

When the political takes a turn for the personal, a familiar face from his past emerges and Nix finds himself wearing the target for once. To avoid the sharp claws of revenge, he’ll have reckon with who he was and who he’s in the process of becoming. But can he reconcile his wildcat ways with a life of domestication at Regulus’s side?
