For his twenty-fifth birthday, Alec Savage gets the gift of a lifetime -- the chance to meet his father for the very first time. What he finds upon his arrival in Washington, DC, however, is not what he expects. A smashed window. An empty house. A scrawled note with his name and a phone number on it. Panicked, he dials the number and talks to an uncle he never knew he had, one who insists Alec is in danger if he stays in the house. That’s when everything starts to get weird.<br><br>Within minutes, he’s teleported all the way to nowhere Montana, in the company of the most gorgeous guy he’s ever seen, hearing about how he’s the latest mage in the Savage line. Alec doesn’t want to believe Rowan Bouchard, but it’s hard to argue with the reality of his new snowbound location or the confirmation from the uncle who greets him. He even thinks staying on the estate while they hunt for his dad won’t be so bad if he’s got Rowan as eye candy.<br><br>Except Rowan is more than that. He’s a shifter, the most beautiful black panther Alec could imagine. And according to his Uncle Martin, he’s now Alec’s familiar too ...

Savage Estate

&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s go back to the house, and I&rsquo;ll tell you everything over some hot coffee.&rdquo; Will grinned, though the mirth didn&rsquo;t go all the way to his eyes. &ldquo;It looks like I&rsquo;ve lost my tolerance for Montana weather. I can&rsquo;t feel my feet anymore.&rdquo;


It was an excuse, and they all knew it. Alec couldn&rsquo;t relax until Uncle Martin rolled his eyes and muttered, &ldquo;Such a drama queen.&rdquo; Louder, he added, &ldquo;Look around ten more minutes to make sure we&rsquo;re not missing anything, then we&rsquo;ll head back. Graham deserves that.&rdquo;


&ldquo;He does.&rdquo; Will shot him a wink. &ldquo;All right. I think my feet can make it ten more minutes.&rdquo;
