She was flipped and tossed about, then, all at once, everything halted. Almost painfully. She cried out, felt hands on her…skin?
Skin…
Fur…
Her eyes opened. She blinked against the brightness. Strange…so strange. How was it possible? Things looked larger, like the trees and the bayou. And she was low to the ground, but felt strong, invincible.
Amazing.
Cerviel was grinning from ear to ear. “I knew it,” he said, excitement in his voice as his gaze moved over her. “You’re gorgeous, kitten. Auburn coat, and eyes so green they put emeralds to shame.”
Hallie opened her mouth to speak, but only snarls and hisses came forth. A slight thread of panic erupted in her. This would take some getting used to.
She looked around, stalked forward, feeling the warm ground beneath her feet. No, not feet. Paws .
She felt on edge, hungry, but not for food. For movement. The air on her muzzle. Scents in the air rushing her…
“I know,” Cerviel said with a smile that lit her world. “I know what you need. I need it too.”
Unlike her, Cerviel shifted in seconds. It was a fast rush in a strange mist and there he was. He stalked over to her and rubbed his head against her, lapped at her ear with his tongue. And she purred. Goddess have mercy, in cat form, she truly felt everything times ten. A heightened awareness. A driving hunger.
An almost manic desire when her eyes took in the massive golden puma before her, with his fierce gold eyes.
He snarled at her. An invitation to play. And she crouched, low. For a brief moment, he seemed confused. Then, like a switch being hit, he got it. She was giving him a head start.
Cerviel took off down the bank, and seconds later, Hallie’s puma followed, racing after him. The wind in her fur, the scents in her nose. And her love…her puma, her mate, her protector, her savior, leading her into a brand new and glorious world.

PROLOGUE
Few people truly understood the meaning of ‘hell on earth.’
The five soldiers who had been held in the Taliban prison in southern Afghanistan, however, possessed an agonizingly intimate knowledge of the phrase.
There was nothing like five weeks of brutal torture to teach a man that there are worse things than death.
It should have broken them. Even the most hardened soldiers could shatter beneath the acute psychological and physical punishment. Instead the torment only honed their ruthless determination to escape their captors.
In the dark nights they pooled their individual resources.
Rafe Vargas, a covert ops specialist. Max Grayson, trained in forensics. Hauk Laurensen, a sniper who was an expert with weapons. Teagan Moore, a computer wizard. And Lucas St. Clair, the smooth-talking hostage negotiator.
Together they forged a bond that went beyond friendship. They were a family bound by the grim determination to survive.
CHAPTER ONE
Friday nights in Houston meant crowded bars, loud music and ice-cold beer. It was a tradition that Rafe and his friends had quickly adapted to suit their own tastes when they moved to Texas five months ago.
After all, none of them were into the dance scene. They were too old for half-naked coeds and casual hookups. And none of them wanted to have to scream over pounding music to have a decent conversation.
Instead, they’d found The Saloon, a small, cozy bar with lots of polished wood, a jazz band that played softly in the background, and a handful of locals who knew better than to bother the other customers. Oh, and the finest tequila in the city.
They even had their own table that was reserved for them every Friday night.
