Rowyne Hayes, a sophomore in college, finds herself in a time crunch to fund her fast-approaching summer semester when she runs into Asher Langley. More than the bane of her existence, he’s the owner of a popular brewery in town and, previously, her best friend’s heart. It’s no problem for her that he is severely off-limits . . . until she encounters his animalistic side. A long, lean jaguar with fur black as night and rusty eyes.

In a state of panic, Rowyne’s heritage proves useful, and her druid origins activate. Not only can she sense auras, she can access them to heal emotional ailments. Asher offers her a deal. He’ll cover her tuition if she uses her abilities to cure a hex that locks him in his animal form at night. But working together proves difficult when their arguments start ending in his bed.
