Wolf shifter, Alex McCann, and mountain lion shifter, Teodora "Ted" Vasquez, came from rival clans. They left Cambio Springs together. Ted came back; Alex didn't. Now years later, the future alpha of the McCann wolves has returned with plans to bring new life to the dying desert community-plans that could change everything for the isolated enclave of shapeshifters in the California desert. As the town's doctor, Ted has concerns about exposing her community to outsiders. The two former lovers are at each other's throats. And everyone is watching to see what happens. But when murder once again strikes Cambio Springs, can they overcome their past to help the community they both call home? And can the love they once shared burn again when so many stand against it? Desert Bound is an contemporary fantasy romance. It is the second book in the Cambio Springs Mysteries series by ten-time USA Today bestselling author, Elizabeth Hunter.
