Anita and gang are back in this 10th book of the Vampire Executioner. Anita, Jean Claude and Richard answer a distress call that some of her wereleopards are in trouble at a local S&M club. They decide to put forward a united front, and in doing so decide that it is time to "marry the marks" that bind them together in hopes that it will make them stronger.  As Anita works to save her wereleopards, she is clawed by one of her wereleopards. This clawing could cause her to become a shifter herself.

While Anita is recovering from her clawing, it turns out that her pack has brought in someone to apply for the role of pack leader, Micah, a wereleopard Nimir-raj. Luckily, Micah is able to help Anita overcome her wounds, and seems to want to do whatever it will take to be the alpha in Anita's wereleopard pack, and whatever else she wants or needs him to be, regardless of the cost.

Anita has her hands full, because her wereleopard that attacked her is being accused by Richard's werewolves of killing her (even though she is technically alive, she is dead to them since she might become a wereleopard).

Will Anite be able to get everyone to work together for a common cause? What is the deal with Micah? And why would anyone want to attack her wereleopards to begin with?
