Dr. Jared Fields spurned the love of an evil witch ten years ago. In retribution, she cast a spell on him that only true love can break. Now, he lives in solitude deep in the Smokey Mountains as a disfigured man by day and shape shifter by night. His only reprieve is the few hours between dusk and dawn when he shifts into a jaguar to forget that no woman could ever love him now.
Anna Stodger is lucky to be alive. As the sole survivor of a tragic plane crash, she is left blind and broken-spirited until a kind stranger takes her in and nurses her back to health. With Jared's tender touch and heart of gold, Anna soon realizes that she is falling in love with the enigmic doctor. But, will her love survive when she regains her sight and realizes the man she loves is really a beast of the night?

Excerpt:
Anna drifted in and out of sleep. Images of a burning plane, a jaguar with glittering yellow eyes, and pain-filled shrieks tormented her dreams. She awoke drenched in sweat, shaking.
Reaching out into the darkness, her hands clasped onto nothing. Fear slid along her spine.
Alone.
A high-pitched scream sliced through the air. Anna covered her ears to drown the sound while her heart slammed against her chest. She rocked back and forth on the bed silently begging the horrible noise to cease.
Within seconds, a door burst open.
"Anna! Anna, are you all right?"
Through the screams, she heard the gentle voice, the same masculine voice that had comforted her earlier.
Jared!
She struggled to breathe, but the room seemed to lack oxygen. Her breaths came quick and labored.
"Anna?" Strong arms hauled her toward a warm chest. The sensuous scent of exotic spices and musk filled the air helping to calm her.
"It's ok. You're safe now." Large muscled arms encircled her body. Anna could feel a soft heartbeat against her ear as she laid her head against Jared's hard chest. For the first time in a long time, she felt safe.
