Blurb: Shifters Ross and Lindy really want their third love, Tau, to move in with them. Were-lion Tau is reluctant, if only because he has problems in his past that he doesn’t want Ross and Lindy to have to deal with. When those problems show up in a very real way, Tau knows he has to do something to stop them from spiraling out of control. Ross and Lindy know they have to help Tau, but they're not sure how they can when they end up in trouble themselves. Can Tau reach his lovers in time to keep them safe, or will the ghosts of his past take everything he cares about away?

Excerpt:

Ross was the first to wake up, or he thought he was until he saw that Lindy was the only one on the couch with him. He didn´t remember feeling Tau get up, but Tau was gone, and there was a piece of paper on the coffee table that hadn´t been there last night.

"Lindy." Gently, Ross shook her awake. She blinked at him sleepily. "Tau´s gone. Did you hear him leave?"

Lindy struggled to sit up, shaking her head. "No. What? Where´d he go?"

Ross wriggled around to sit up, too, stretching his wings out over the back of the couch with a low groan. Keeping them folded up while he slept always made them cramp up. He reached across Lindy´s legs and got the note Tau had left. "To find Kgosi´s men, I think," he said, showing it to her.

Her already pale face got even whiter. "Ross..." She passed the note back to him. "He´s going by himself? That´s... That´s like suicide. There are at least two of them. What if there are more that the bears didn´t know about?"

"I don´t know." Ross balled up the piece of paper and threw it across the room.
