About this book

When Ria Rodriguez goes undercover at the Sanctuary to expose a security leak, she's bracing herself for danger—but nothing prepares her for Mercury Warrant, one of the most formidable Breeds ever created, who's assigned to protect her. As their connection ignites into something neither of them expected, Mercury begins to believe he might finally experience the soul-deep bonding he thought was lost to him forever. But Ria is guarding secrets that could tear them apart, and there's a ghost from Mercury's past who has very different ideas about who belongs at his side. This is a story about second chances, the courage it takes to trust your heart, and fighting for the bond that makes you whole.

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
intenseyearningprimaldangerouspassionate

Sultry R&B and dark pop with industrial undertones—sensual yet dangerous. Mix moody indie rock, synth-driven tension, and soul-deep ballads. Paranormal passion meets primal devotion. Steamy chemistry balanced with emotional vulnerability and protective intensity.
