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

Except for the renegade magic skills, but that didn&rsquo;t show up on a DMV search.


What he did find, with Will&rsquo;s help, were the financial accounts that showed Zander Ivey wasn&rsquo;t exactly a poor man. He wasn&rsquo;t wealthy by Florida standards, but he had more money in various banks than a manager for a minor exports company should possess. Something was fishy about the multiple accounts. Each had slight variations on his name, but they were equally drawn upon, equally added to. Since following the money was one of Will&rsquo;s specialties, he set up searches prior to leaving, hopefully to have answers when they reconvened in Miami.


The more ammo they had when they faced Zander, the happier Rowan would be. He didn&rsquo;t want to take this further than he had to, regardless of what Alec professed.
