Caitlyn Gato has spent years lying, scheming, and gambling everything she has in pursuit of one goal: to reclaim the Golden Shield, the relic that once safeguarded her jaguar‑shifter bloodline. It’s locked inside Lord Gifre’s fortress of secrets, and the only way through the gates is as Madame Gato, wealthy wife and collector. Problem is—Caitlyn has no husband.
Enter Doane, the stoic wolf‑shifter whose pack is at risk as long as Gifre controls the Shield. He doesn’t trust Caitlyn’s agenda, but he can’t pass up the chance to infiltrate the manor by posing as her new groom.
What begins as a reluctant alliance quickly sparks into sharp banter and dangerous attraction. Forced into shared rooms, stolen embraces, and a performance of love neither of them expected, Caitlyn and Doane must outwit guards, rival collectors, and their own growing feelings.
But secrets have teeth. And when Caitlyn’s deal with Gifre threatens the wolves themselves, the fragile trust between her and Doane could shatter forever.
The Shield may hold her family’s past. But will she risk a future with the wolf who can see the truth behind her masks?
If you love fake‑marriage hijinks, enemies‑to‑allies romance, and fairy‑tale quests with wolf‑shifters, intrigue, and hope, dive into Cats & Wolves, part of the Wolves Ever After series of no spice fantasy romances.
