I'm a puppet. My entire life has been at the hands of my puppet master. He is the one who created me, who keeps me bound. All I want is freedom and that is exactly what I discover at the circus, training to be a lion tamer. Three intoxicatingly powerful shifter men; a lion, a tiger, and a bear. Oh, my. They are each so very, very alive, and they stir something inside me I've never felt before. I'm becoming real. As I get closer to each of these amazing men, as I train and travel with them, I'm snipping my strings. But the Puppet Maker will never let me go.
