Jackal - Mel Teshco

His growl is as possessive as his nature

Sheikh Zayn Al-Habib has always preferred his harem to the complications of marriage. Why tie himself to one woman when he can have many? But when Malika-his favorite, his weakness-announces she's leaving because she can't share him anymore, everything changes.

They don't call him Jackal for nothing. This predator mates for life.

She thinks she can walk away, but Zayn has finally realized what he should have known all along: Malika isn't just another woman in his collection. She's his. And jackals don't let their mates go-even if keeping her means destroying what little love she still has for him.

Malika Ismat gave her heart freely, but she won't share it anymore. She wants all of Zayn or nothing at all. The problem? Leaving requires his blessing, and he's made it brutally clear she'll never have it.

Trapped between a man who owns her body but refuses to claim her heart, and a love that's slowly turning to resentment, Malika faces an impossible choice.

The line between devotion and captivity is thinner than a blade's edge.
