title: The Chosen One
author: Love, Shiloh
description: Rated PG-13 (Originally titled Heaven Kissed) Lodi, pronounced Low-Dye, is an elite type of shifter. Five drops from Heaven is the basis of her genetic makeup. She's a shifter with a dominant canine gene in her DNA…and she's searching for her pack. A group of unethical scientists engineered a new species by injecting human embryos with animal DNA in a genetic experiment that took place on a batch of test-tube babies just over twenty years ago. This project known as Enhanced-Human-Species resulted in the birth of many types of shifters—people who can shift into and out of their animal form. But as experiments sometimes go awry, the EHS project incurred unexpected supernatural involvement. During the final stage of development, an angel from the Shimah Realm intercepted the most viable embryos and breathed into their form—five drops of Heaven. Those rescued by the angel received a special touch from Heaven to spare them agonizing side effects from a failed experiment. They are the chosen ones. At the age of twenty-one, Lodi's gene matures and she sets out to find her pack. She encounters major obstacles when a lion shifter decides to make her his mate. Lorcan isn't just any shifter. He was one of the embryos left behind when the angel rescued Lodi years ago. Lodi discovers that Lorcan wants more than her hand in marriage. His true intent is beyond terrifying! When rival packs clash, Lodi's existence is threatened. Will she find her way out of captivity before her enemies track her down again? Can Shade find his predestined mate, his one true love, in the midst of unexpected betrayal? Fur flies and teeth bare in a suspenseful tale of courage and love. Note: The intro is in first person but the novel is written in third person point of view.
