Navin by Paige Michaels

Navin and his pride came from far away to establish themselves near human populations. They run a logging company high in the mountains and live on the outskirts of society. Their hope is that Fate will put a mate in each of their paths so that they may build a new community and grow their pride.
Brea is found bleeding to death in the forest. She’s obviously been stabbed and left to die. Her only hope for survival is for Navin to bite her, claiming her as his. It’s uncommon for lions to claim a mate without her permission, but Brea is unconscious. It’s now or never.
Her fate is sealed, but who did this to her? While Brea awakes to find herself bonded to a lion shifter, Navin is determined to find the man who believes he murdered her and make him pay.
