More!!  I loved this short story about Zola, a lioness mixed martial arts sensei in New Orleans. She was cast out of her mother's pride and has made her own way after training with the best martial arts masters in the world. Then her mother's bodyguard shows up at the door to her dojo seeking asylum. Her mother and most of the pride have been killed, and the rest are in danger. He asks her to take them in and take on her mother's role as alpha. He betrayed her in the past, but she learns that he had good reason for letting her go. Her mother had threatened her life if anyone helped her. If he stays, the attack team that killed her mother will come for him. If he goes, she will never know what might have been.  This short story is a prequel to book #3, introducing Zola, but could be read as a standalone.
