Once a Yankee soldier, Brance Brenneman has left the War Between the States behind and gone into hiding with his lover, former Confederate Caleb Chilson. Deserters intent on keeping to themselves, they find a nice, sparse acre of land where they can finally settle down. Life falls into domesticated routine for both the brooding Yank and the excitable Rebel. Together they struggle to create a more perfect union forged of love and their shared shapeshifting secret.<br><br>But the discovery of another bobcat encroaching on their territory brings out the possessive alley cat in Caleb, eager to defend his home and his mate. Will the newcomer destroy what they've worked so hard to attain? Or is there room enough for the three of them deep in the wilderness of Pennsylvania?

A More Perfect Union

No time left.With a snap of his powerful jaws,Brance bit at the harness.The worn leather tore easily beneath strong,chiseled teeth.Brance let loose a snarling mewl that flashed like lightning in the quiet dusk.Freed from its tack,the horse reared wildly,then raced after its stable mate.


Brance fell to all fours.He barely felt the cold air or the snow through his heavy coat,and for a moment,he growled after the horse,fighting the urge togive chase.Then he remembered his own mate.Nosing in the disturbed snow at the base of their cart,he called out,::Caleb?::


A lusty roar split the night.Brance heard the cart jangle as something heavy leapt onto it;two seconds later,a furry body fell onto his,rolling him in the snow.As Brance hurried to right himself,a cold nose pressed into the warm,fuzzy spot just above his ballocks.A wet tongue licked out,tasting him.::How about now?::Caleb asked,eagerly lapping at Brance’s genitals.::Are you ready now?::
