title: Collared for a Night
author: Arden, Susan
description: All it takes is one mistake to be marked. One bite, she crosses a line . . . into forever   Diana Hambre's body is blazing. For days, this leopardess shifter has spun through a body-searing heat cycle. Alone. Her senses reel when Shawn Barclay, her boss, walks into her reserved room at the Downtown Den, a stud club for shifters. He gives Diana a choice: spend the evening with him, give into his every desire, and she'll find out what it means to quench her heat-crazed thirst - or try her luck with a stranger, one of the club bangers.  Shawn hates when his back is against the wall. One sip of Diana's sex-laced scent is enough to force his alpha hand. Now, it's Diana's back he wants up against a wall, or any other surface for that matter.  As the moon rises toward midnight, Shawn and Diana come to understand the difference between joining and mating. For a night, neither of them resist instinct, blindly giving into their leopard natures even though their human forms know they must reconsider their options come morning.  Hint: Hot, explicit erotic sex scenes.   Sensuality Level: Spicy
