The untrained skills coursing through her might kill a man...but what a way to die.

When Gilrohan, shapeshifter and king's man, is thrown into a dank prison cell, his only option is clear—turn himself into a rat and escape. But fleeing the iron bars is easier than escaping the quick hands of the woman who captures him—and undoes his magic. Her undiscovered power is a rare gift, and unknown even to her.

Tabica lives as a slave to her oversexed overlord. Life seems grim until the furry tesslerat shifts into a sleek, naked man beneath her hands. Gilrohan wants to explore her power, and she wants to explore him. Together, they discover that magic can actually work between two people whose lives and love should never have intertwined. But her awakened skills land her into a new existence that threatens to be as dreary as her old one.
