Rafe’s Mate by Rianne Thaxton

Rafe Navarro, a panther shifter, rancher, and newly appointed Alpha Regent over the state of Florida has spent nearly a year consumed with seeking revenge on the people who murdered his brother and sister-in-law and left his seven-year-old nephew, Dex, an orphan and in his care. So the last thing on his mind is finding his Destined Mate when he seeks out an art therapist to help Dex deal with his trauma. But that’s exactly who he finds when she rushes through the classroom door.
Aubrey Simmons has a heart for children, and uses her artistic talents and psychology degree to help those who have been through traumatic events work through their feelings using art. But sometimes her big heart overrules her head when it comes to taking money for her work, so she’s moonlighting as a waitress at a local BDSM club, The Covenant, to make ends meet. But good thing for her she has a new client—one with an uncle who has her tingling in all the right places and invading her dreams of a panther and the man he turns into.
Will Aubrey realize Rafe is truly the man from her dreams, or will the evil intents of an organization bent on destroying shifters and their human mates succeed in tearing them apart? Forever.
