Book cover of “Black Tiger” by Greta van der Rol, showing glowing golden eyes above a jungle path

The Black Tiger watches… and waits

A heartbroken doctor meets a mysterious raja in the Indian jungle, uncovering danger, desire, and the legend of the Black Tiger

About the book

Dr. Sally Carter travels to India to escape heartbreak, not to fall into the arms of a mysterious raja. But Ash Bhosle is no ordinary man. Charismatic, powerful, and bound to the endangered tigers he protects, Ash carries a secret tied to a legend whispered in fear—the Black Tiger.

Drawn into Ash’s world of danger and desire, Sally finds herself battling more than poachers and prejudice. The deeper she ventures into the jungle, the more the legend stalks her dreams… until she begins to wonder if it’s not just a myth at all.

Sally must decide whether to trust the man who stirs her heart—or fear the beast that haunts the shadows.

Black Tiger is a fast-paced paranormal romance of passion, peril, and a love that defies boundaries. Perfect for readers of shifter romance, romantic suspense, and exotic adventures.

Reader praise

There was a little bit of everything in this book: mystery, danger, action and, of course, romance.

“The author is an artist painting in words; you feel the heat and humidity of the jungle, the soft hostility of the villagers toward the western doctor in their midst. The dust and exotic scents implied in the words are made almost tangible as you read.”
