Kathi S. Barton

Christopher hadn't been with Rembrandt's group long. With their combined efforts there were fewer and fewer monsters to fight. His mate had died a long time ago, so he volunteered to go with Skylar to look for some "newbies". When they arrived at the warehouse the new ones were acting very strange. Kate had been scouting out the building when a large crate just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Curiosity had her standing in the shadows when she saw two warriors come up the stairs and approach the crate. When they became aware of her presence, the man shifted into the largest cat she'd ever seen and pinned her to the floor with his large paws. Kate was more than any of them had bargained for, and Chris soon discovered that Kate was his true mate, that the other woman never was. And when they fought together they were downright scary. With their enemies Ward and Nolan dead, there was no one left to keep Benton, the huge monster they'd created, in line. Benton had lost his mind a long time ago, but one thought remained constant...he wanted Rembrandt dead....

Leonard Earl wants no part of Rembrandt's rag tag team of saviors. Before the cancer he'd been happy teaching children. But when the mysterious man in black shows up in his hospital room and heals him, he has no choice but to join the group. No one says he has to like it. Jamey has been on her own awhile. It doesn't take her long to figure out she is different, and that the malefactors can't change her into one of them. Since the malefactors have taken over her town, she spends her days picking them off with her bow and arrows, or delivering food and water to the remaining survivors. Jamey's body is also a "host" to a dragon that has been with her for as long as she can remember. He protects her and keeps her safe.... The dragon is leading Jamey to the man he is destined to transfer to. He tells her together they will balance. Jamey is willing to take the dragon wherever he needs to go, but the man she wants no part of.... She will miss her friend. Leo is none too happy to find out that Jamey is bringing the dragon to him and the discovery that she is his mate. He's already had a woman break his heart and wants no part of this mate business. He takes the dragon to save her life, but that's where it ends...or does it? The malefactors are increasing in number and they need to stand together to defeat them. Jamey sees her chance and takes it to defeat their enemy. Will Leo make the ultimate sacrifice to save her? Find out in the next installment of Blood Brotherhood--Leonard.
