Before coming to the Jarvela Farm, a sanctuary located in Finland, jaguar shifter Noah Moore did something that terrified him: he fell in love. But he was brave and took the chance ... and ended up fleeing the States to nurse a broken heart. Though he’s happy enough living among others of his kind, being surrounded primarily by happy couples reminds him of what he’s missing.<br><br>When Dallas, the biracial tiglon shifter responsible for Noah’s heartache, turns up at the farm, Noah gets the shock of his life. Though the feelings are still there, so is the pain. Dallas desperately wants to make it up to Noah and win him back, but he knows he has to do it on Noah’s terms -- and only with the farm family’s approval. Can Dallas convince Noah to stop living in the past and move into the future with him?

Tiglon by the Tail

The quiet steps behind him didn’t surprise him in the least,but the fact that it wasn’t Mikael,Maxim,or Zoya who came to him did.


“Do you mind if I sit with you?”Rider asked,looking at Noah from the other end of the dock.


Rider looked doubtful,but he walked closer and sat down,looking like a male model with his tousled dark and wavy hair and sparkling blue eyes.The clothing only added to the image;the cotton shirt and shorts in light earth tones made his tan pop,and again Noah thought Rider certainly looked good,but not for him.


“Look,Noah…,”Rider sighed and moved so he could put his feet into the water.“I’ve known Dallas for a few years,and I’ve always known there was some big regret in his life.He never wanted to talk about it,but one evening when he was really low,he did.It was about six months before I told him I was going to go to Europe.”


Noah was listening,wondering where this was going even though it was obvious it had to do with him.
