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.

Why did you write Black Tiger?

Black Tiger grew out of a simple truth: wild tigers are vanishing. I wanted to tell a dangerous, compelling story that acknowledged that reality without turning it into a sermon.
