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

“Oh yes….”Noah hummed and turned his head to nip at Dallas’s neck.


“Can we talk first?”Dallas asked,even though a full-body shiver traveled through him.


“Yeah.”Noah sighed and nodded,and they moved on to sit on Noah’s bed.


“I want you to know I’m not a coward anymore,”Dallas said first,shaking his head at Noah when the jaguar was going to open his mouth to say something.


“No,I really mean it.When I left you…I was so afraid.I used all the excuses I could to not be the man you needed me to be after Joe died.”Dallas turned his gaze to the plaid comforter,feeling the old failures rushing over him.


“Dallas,look at me,”Noah asked,reaching for his hand.When Dallas did as he was asked,Noah continued.“I was so hurt for a long time…there’s nothing that can erase that.But they’re also just memories.What we have now,what we’re building now,is so much more,and it’s so good,Dallas.”
