About this ebook
There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted.
Another day, another jungle.
Angelica has left South America behind, hoping to also leave behind the bad memories of being kidnapped and her wild flight through the Amazon. What she hasn't left is the CIA agent who saved her life. But long-distance relationships are complicated, made more so by Taylor's unique ability to change into the white tiger. Distance seems a good thing as Angelica works out her feelings for both man and beast.
While Africa is halfway around the world from where she began, Angelica learns that as a doctor in a primitive clinic she is privy to a lot of secrets. Starting with the existence of a tribal group of refugees with the ability to transform into lions. But when the young girls of this tribe go missing, victims of a human trafficking ring dedicated to the enslavement of women with their unique abilities, it's Taylor who Angelica turns to for help.
Now the white tiger is firmly back in her life, and Angelica is caught in a race against time to save the lions—before she falls victim herself.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER jungle.
Angelica has left South America behind, hoping to also leave behind the bad memories of being kidnapped and her wild flight through the Amazon. What she hasn’t left is the CIA agent who saved her life. But long-distance relationships are complicated, made more so by Taylor’s unique ability to change into the white tiger. Distance seems a good thing as Angelica works out her feelings for both man and beast.
While Africa is halfway around the world from where she began, Angelica learns that as a doctor in a primitive clinic she is privy to a lot of secrets. Starting with the existence of a tribal group of refugees with the ability to transform into lions. But when the young girls of this tribe go missing, victims of a human trafficking ring dedicated to the enslavement of women with their unique abilities, it’s Taylor who Angelica turns to for help.
Now the white tiger is firmly back in her life, and Angelica is caught in a race against time to save the lions—before she falls victim herself.

Chapter 1
D octor!
Angelica spun at the sound, taking note of the gurney making its way toward her with exaggerated slowness. An old woman hobbled down the hallway beside it. Her first thought should have been of the patient. Instead she stood a moment, thankful that the nurses had finally figured out that speed was not of the essence, the way gurneys crashed through doors in American TV shows.
Her next thought was less charitable. That old woman should be on the gurney, not beside it.
A quick glance showed that the girl lying so stiff and frightened under a thin white sheet wasn’t a critical case. Still, she hastened to catch up, arriving in the room just behind the medics. She brushed past the old woman, paying her little attention. She had no time for flustered family members until she’d satisfied herself that the patient was going to be okay.
What do we have?
She listened to the recitation of vitals while doing her own cursory examination of the frightened teenager. The patient couldn’t have been more than thirteen, at most fourteen. She was clenching her jaw and trying not to squirm as Angelica looked in her eyes and listened to her heart.
Is she from the refugee camp?
Angelica fired the question into the air, her focus intent on the child. Something about the way the girl was holding herself felt familiar. She was in pain, obviously, but there was something else that niggled in the back of her mind. A memory from somewhere recent...
We don’t know, her grandmother’s here, she’s not... how you say... forthcoming on the information. One of the medics took her in because she was in obvious pain.
The nurse spoke carefully, her English hard to follow, flavored by an accent that Angelica hadn’t quite gotten used to yet.
What’s wrong, honey?
Angelica asked the girl, hearing the echo of the nurse next to her translating.
But the child just screwed her eyes up tighter and sobbed.
Angelica fought to keep her face calm. Impassive. There was some deep bruising on the girl’s arms and legs and when Angelica lifted the girl’s shirt she saw the bruises on her ribs were of the same kind. Get some pictures on her; both arms, both legs, all her ribs.
Angelica ordered, tasting bile, fighting an urge to throw up that she hadn’t had since medical school. She hated this... hated how women and girls were treated in this part of the world. The refugee camp should have been a safe place.
Why had she even come here?
Yes, doctor.
There had been a hesitation in the answer, something that caused Angelica to look up sharply to stare at her nurse, a young woman with dark skin and even darker eyes that avoided her gaze now.
Problem?
No, Doctor, sorry, I just... she’s in such pain...
I know, but I need to know what we’re dealing with first. Get the x-rays, please.
Yes, Doctor.
The nurse spoke rapidly to the orderlies. They wheeled the girl out of the room, shrugging a little. One murmuring something in broken English about doctors who couldn’t make up their minds regarding where they wanted their patients. Something she was meant to hear.
Angelica fought the urge to snap at them to do their jobs, dammit, and instead snagged the old woman’s arm. You’re her... grandmother?
No.
The old lady looked in the direction they had taken the girl, her expression carefully neutral. A little too neutral.
You can’t go in there. They’re taking her where they can do tests,
Angelica said shortly. You have to wait here. Now, tell me who you are and who she is.
She wondered if she was going to have to wait for a translator, but she’d been discovering that many of the patients she’d seen in the last few weeks since she’d arrived at this clinic at least understood a fair amount of English, provided she talked slowly and didn’t use words that were too complicated.
Don’t know,
the old woman said, shaking her head. Never saw before. She... in camp. Like me. Saw her hurting, that’s all.
So you know nothing about her?
Just saw she hurting. Not know how help. She can’t make the pain stop. Needs doctor, western medicine to pull her through. She isn’t going to be able to fix it.
What do you mean she can’t fix it? Does she have any training, any medical background?
The old woman shook her head and then stopped, remembering herself. She turned the denial into an eloquent shrug. I don’ know. I don’ know her, just met her, she in the refugee camp, too. Like me.
How long has she been like this?
In pain? I don’ know. She in camp, next bed to me, don’ know.
Doctor?
One of the orderlies chose that moment to return, mystified expression stamped upon his broad face. You need to see this.
Angelica looked from him to the old woman, not wanting to leave her, positive that she would disappear the moment her back was turned. Keep her here,
she said, pointing, as if there were any doubt just who she meant. The old woman was the only one in the tiny exam room besides them. The large young man stepped into the room and took a place near the door. He stood, arms crossed, implacable. He would have made a fine warrior somewhere back in time when young men such as him arrayed themselves in battle gear. Maybe such things still happened. She hadn’t learned as much about Africa as she would have liked to, but when she’d arrived the clinic had been so disorganized and there was so much work to do. The other doctors had a bad tendency to disappear, so learning about her new home in the wilds of Cameroon had taken a back seat to... well... everything.
