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

Alec had no response to that. Rowan supposed that was better than outright disagreement.


After a few minutes, Alec rolled his neck. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m calling Zander when we meet up in Miami. That way, we&rsquo;ll know where he&rsquo;s going to be.&rdquo;


Wordlessly, Rowan nodded. The time for grand confessions was past. He watched the ghostly reflection of Alec walking back to Will before it faded and all he could see was the gray sky beating down on the grayer tarmac.


Disembarking the plane was the best thing Rowan had done in years. Never again, he vowed as he marched toward baggage claim. He would rather suffer through the exhaustion and nausea of teleporting than set foot on another plane in his lifetime.
