The Purrfect Stranger

A Redstone Clan Short Story

A werecougar Alpha who makes housecats purr and witches spark. A powerless mage who can't cast a spell to save her life, but has her feline friends wrapped around her little finger. A blind date on Valentine's Night that fate has been planning for years.

Valerie Faber is the black sheep of one of the most powerful magical families in the country. While her siblings wield epic abilities, her magic only works on animals. It's hardly the gift Clan Faber brags about, and it's left her dateless, overlooked, and quietly convinced she'll never find her match in the magical world.

Keith Redstone is a werecougar Alpha with a secret. His mixed heritage left him with something no shifter should have — the ability to see magic. He's built an empire, earned his title, and overcome every obstacle his Clan threw at him. The one thing he hasn't found is the woman
who can make him purr in human form. According to shifter legend, she's the only true mate he'll ever have.

One blind date later, the sparks between them are literal. Their magics twine and crackle with every touch, the cats approve, and his inner cougar has already made up its mind. But Valerie has spent a lifetime being told she isn't enough, and one tempestuous night together — no matter how extraordinary — isn't going to change that overnight.

Good thing Keith Redstone is a very determined cat.
