About this book

When a fearless attorney walks into Shiftertown to defend a client, she finds herself dangerously drawn to the protective alpha who won't let her out of his sight—even though everything she's been taught warns her against trusting a Shifter. Liam has every reason to keep humans at arm's length, but Kim's determination and courage make her impossible to resist, and soon the barriers between them start to crumble under the weight of an undeniable attraction. As they work together to uncover the truth, they'll have to navigate a world of danger, prejudice, and forbidden passion that challenges everything they thought they knew. This is a swoon-worthy paranormal romance that proves sometimes the most dangerous connections are also the most worth fighting for.

Intense, sensual R&B and dark pop with raw vulnerability—sultry vocals, heavy bass, and electric tension. Mix brooding indie rock with moody electronic beats. Capture danger and desire colliding, protective intensity meeting fierce independence, and the smoldering surrender of walls finally breaking.
