Description from the publisher:

Uptown girl meets rough-and-tumble biker — with a shapeshifter twist!

All Cynthia was planning for the weekend was a quick escape to the countryside where her inner dragon can stretch its wings.  She wasn’t counting on a handsome, enigmatic wolf shifter coming along and sweeping her off her feet.  Cynthia has always been driven by duty rather than desire.  But suddenly, she finds herself making reckless, irresponsible choices and telling herself, just this once…

A night of sizzling passion ensues, but the question remains.  Is Cal to blame for making her throw caution to the wind – or is it destiny?

This short story prequel reveals Cynthia’s backstory and sets the stage for her second chance at love, a story told in Rebel Alpha (Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire, Book 5).  It takes place a decade before she comes to Maui after many cruel twists of fate.  Rebel Alpha, the emotional series finale, releases in December 2018!

Maui just got hotter with this exciting new series of steamy, suspenseful paranormal romance!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

REBEL HEART is the fifth release in the Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire series.  It is a novella prequel to REBEL ALPHA and should be read prior to that book.

Because this is a prequel, it has a beginning and a middle, but the end is… heart breaking.  It is not a cliffhanger, but it does make me cry for more.  Beautifully written, this is how a prequel to a second chance is meant to be.

This is the first story I have read from the series, so I walked in blindly.  Now I’m blindly walking out wishing for them to find each other again as the prequel implies they will.

Narration:  The narrator, Kelsey Osborne, is a delight for the ears.  I hope she continues in Rebel Alpha.  She reads with dramatic flair and clarity that kept me engaged from beginning to end.
