Under His Wing: A Bird Shifter Novel (King of Prey 7)

She’s his fated mate. He’s her best friend’s overprotective uncle. Too bad she’s in danger… and he’s the only one who can save her.

As an elite warrior and commander of the Royal Hawks, Gardelle has sworn loyalty to his people. An immortal bird-shifter, he’s spent centuries devoted to his duty, keeping the balance between the bird realm and the human world. He’s long since given up the idea of finding a mate—until her. Lisa Redsun. The one woman who tempts him to break every vow.

Lisa never expected her best friend’s overbearing, brooding uncle to be anything more than a nuisance—until she learns the truth. He’s not human. He has wings. And he’s been keeping secrets that change everything. Worse, she’s just been marked by his sworn enemies, the deadly vulture shifters.

Now, Gardelle will stop at nothing to keep Lisa safe. Fate chose her for him. He won’t let anyone take her away. But Lisa has secrets of her own, and as their worlds collide, the passion between them becomes impossible to resist. When the enemy closes in, Gardelle must make an impossible choice—protect his people, or risk it all for the woman who is his.

Possessive warrior hero. Fierce heroine. Off-the-charts chemistry. A swoon-worthy fated mates romance with heart-pounding action, high-stakes danger, and a love that will take flight.
