About this book

When a fearless reporter crosses paths with a dangerous shifter who's part of a covert genetic experiment, sparks ignite—and not just the romantic kind. Callan is fighting for his freedom and that of his Pride while navigating the intense, all-consuming bond that's building between him and Merinus, who challenges everything he thought he wanted. With shadowy enemies closing in and a connection that burns hotter than either of them can control, Callan must figure out how to protect the woman who's become his everything while staying one step ahead of those who would use her against him. It's a thrilling blend of paranormal tension, protective passion, and the kind of heat that only comes when two people are destined to collide.

AI-generated synopsis

feralscorchingpossessivedangerousintoxicating

Dark sensuality meets primal intensity—sultry R&B, industrial electronica, and heavy alternative rock that pulses with danger and desire. Think Halsey, The Weeknd, and Nine Inch Nails. Moody, possessive, burning with barely-controlled passion and wild animal magnetism.
