Born In Lightning

Love Bleeds, Secrets Burns, Lightning Strikes.

Catori, a rare and enigmatic shifter, arrives in Portland, Oregon, with her fiercely loyal best friend Gaith, a vampire with a taste for chaos and charm. Their mission is to uncover the buried truths of Catori's lineage and the secrets that have long haunted her bloodline.

But Portland offers more than answers. It offers Zildjian, a brooding veterinarian with a hidden wolf soul. Sparks fly, and Catori finds herself swept into a romance as wild and primal as her own nature. Meanwhile, Gaith indulges in his usual carousel of lovers, leaving broken hearts and whispered rumors in his wake.

As Valentine's weekend approaches, Gaith and Zildjian orchestrate a getaway meant to soothe and celebrate. What they don't expect is the arrival of a long-dead relative clawing their way back into the present, or the betrayal that erupts from within their closest circle.

Now, with trust shattered and danger closing in, Catori, Zildjian, and Gaith must confront the ghosts of their past and the traitors among them. Will they survive the unraveling of their bonds, or will the darkness claim them before they can strike back?
