This predator is no match for his prey. Tori knows she shouldn't flirt with the sexy bear shifter, Judd. She's a bunny shifter. There's no future for them. And not just because he's a predator and she's prey. Tori isn't nearly as prey-like as Judd thinks she is... She's hidden behind her dumb bunny façade for so long that she's almost forgotten who she really is. Until an old enemy finds her. With hiding no longer an option, Tori prepares to make her final stand. But with danger lurking around every corner, she'll need Judd's help as well as a little magic. Judd's wanted Tori from the first day she started working at the bar. Too bad the flirty bunny shifter has made it clear they'll never be anything more than friends. Until he sees the real Tori, and everything changes. Judd is thrust into a treacherous world of magic, mad scientists, and a sweet little bunny shifter who just might be an assassin. With the fate of the world at stake, will Judd convince Tori that they can save the world and build a life together? Author's Note: "The Assassin and the Bear" is Book Nine in The Shifters Series.
