Alyssa’s mother was killed by a vampire and her life was saved by a family at a stop in the Underground Railroad. Alyssa now designs jewelry and uses her shop as a stop for the Underground Railroad to help were-wolves get new identities and lives.

Blake is a private investigator, who is helping his best friend and the king of the were-wolves find his sister. Rumor has it that his sister had been at one of the Underground Railroad locations when she was younger. What Blake didn’t realize until he showed up at Alyssa’s was that they are mates.

Blake is informed that his mother has been kidnapped and as they start looking for her, they receive a ransom request for a “Book of Spells” that could spell the end of both the weres and humanity. As the search for Blake’s mother and the book continues, the were-wolves meet the were-bears and the were-cats.

The Protector’s Jewel is the continuing story of The Protectors, the were-races that are attempting to protect humanity from the vampires. The were-societies that Ms. Leigh has created is wonderfully complex. This story has it all - romance, suspense and a wonderful storyline that keeps you glued to the book. The mating rituals of the weres are fascinating as the couples learn about each other and adjust to life together. I am really looking forward to reading the the rest of the Protectors series.
