Arcane Heart - Arcane Talents, #3

The wildest passion has claws. When a pair of cops with magical abilities become the target of a hate group, they must unravel the plot against them before it costs them their lives -- and love. Deputy Erica Harris is a witch who can see the magical auras of those around her, a talent which helps her determine when someone intends to commit a violent crime. Her partner, Deputy Jake Nolan, has a psychic link with an African lion that allows him to manifest the animal's powers. But it's tough to serve and protect when demagogues stoke public fear of you.
As the two cops fight to unravel a politically motivated web of hate and deceit, Erica and Jake are targeted by a magical assassin hired by the plotters. While dodging murder attempts, they begin to fall in love. But as Jake's desire makes his inner lion more possessive, his self-control erodes. Can they afford to take a chance on love when so many lives hang in the balance?
