Heir to the current Ruler of the Prides Syndicate, Bosco Rogers is destined to forfeit his legacy as Alpha. To keep the peace among the lion shifters he must let his intended become the next Ruler.

But the intended dies in an accident, and an ancient law is unearthed. The remaining heirs must compete for Bosco's hand. The thing is— one is Duncan, brother of his dead fiancé; and the other Heer Pyfus, the man who holds Duncan's heart. So, whoever wins still loses because none will end up with the man he truly loves.

Things turn even messier when Bosco discovers the love of the competitors for each other. Nevertheless, political marriages have nothing to do with love. He'll marry only one but is meant to break two hearts with his decision.

The arrival of a new Alpha from the other end of the world seems like a solution to their ordeal, but perhaps it is the exact opposite.

This story is more "steamfun" than steampunk, but it still contains airships, automatons, a guide to undressing nineteenth century gentlemen, naughty jewelry— also California Royals, a cheeky Seer, crazy BFFs, Argentinian mercenaries, no-fly zones in Uruguay, and way more claws and fangs than a battle between vampires and werewolves, but the only shifters you will see here are lion shifters— very hunky lion shifters. You just need to look at the cover. All characters portrayed in this book are age 18 or older. For adults only
