title: Pride of the Lion
author: Walters, N.J.
description: Once upon a time, a writer woke up in the middle of her own book...
  
  Araminta Davenport has arrived. After giving up her librarian job to be a full-time writer, all those lonely nights alone with her cat and her keyboard have paid off. She's been invited to participate in one of the biggest reader appreciation weekends-as a professional author. She can't imagine her life getting any more exciting than that...until she accidentally releases a sexy, shapeshifting, immortal warrior from a five-thousand-year-old curse. Finally free of his carousel prison, lion shifter Leander is determined not to let Hades lure him to the dark side in a quest for world domination. Nor will he give the delectable Araminta up to the clutches of the dark one. If they can survive twenty-four hours-and somehow resist losing themselves completely in the sexual haze threatening to swallow them up-the curse will be permanently broken. But the clock is ticking, the heat is rising...and only the ultimate sacrifice will save them both.
  
  Warning: This book contains one shy writer who's learning how to cut loose, and a warrior who's been cut loose and he's ready to roar. Stir in enough hot sex to make Hell itself seem like the Arctic, and you have a recipe for one wild ride.
