Why these tropes fit
In Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series, Ashaya Aleine, a Psy scientist secretly working against the ruling PsyNet, is forcibly separated from her young son and coerced into developing a neural implant that would enslave her people. After escaping, she falls into the custody of DarkRiver sniper Dorian Christensen, a changeling leopard whose sister was murdered by a Psy. Though Dorian's leopard burns with vengeance against the Psy race, he is charged with protecting Ashaya and her son as they flee both her former captors and their own deep-seated enmity. Reluctant attraction blooms between the two as they face lethal pursuit, forcing Dorian to reckon with his hatred and Ashaya to trust a man whose kind has every reason to kill her.
