A Lioness’s Pain

All Kinds Saga, Book 2

She was human. Invisible. Alone.

Until the night she was claimed by blood, fire… and fate.

Rose never belonged anywhere—an orphan scraping out a quiet existence on the edges of a world ruled by shifters. From the hills above Westingdale, she watched wolves and demons run free, never imagining that one violent act would drag her into their world forever.

Bitten against her will and left to survive the impossible, Rose awakens as something rare and dangerous—a lioness shifter, and an Omega. A healer. A bond-maker. A force capable of reshaping packs and breaking ancient rules.

Under the protection of a powerful pack, Rose is drawn into an intoxicating web of dominance, loyalty, and desire. Boon—the dragon shifter who stood by her through her transformation. Stacy—the fierce hellhound beta with a razor smile and a protective streak that borders on obsession. Del and Kyle—mates bound by love, instinct, and hunger, willing to make room for something new.

But power attracts enemies.

As secrets surface and betrayal claws its way toward the pack’s heart, Rose must decide who she is willing to bond to—and how much of herself she is willing to give. Because being an Omega doesn’t just mean healing others.

It means choosing who you belong to.

Dark, erotic, and unapologetically intense, A Lioness’s Pain is a supernatural romance about found family, chosen bonds, and discovering that sometimes the thing that breaks you… is exactly what makes you powerful.
