Isabella lost everything to a nightmix—the feared offspring of human and larakyte panther. Teeth, claws and darkness fuel her every nightmare, making her purpose clear: eradicate every last shape-shifting black panther in the kingdom.
She never imagined becoming the prey.
Captured by Reuben, a powerful and enigmatic nightmix, Isabella expects death—or worse. Instead, she finds herself taken to his secluded cabin, where nothing is as simple as enemy or ally. Reuben is dangerous, dominant, and infuriatingly controlled… yet his touch ignites a forbidden fire she cannot explain.
Their connection is explosive, blurring the line between vengeance and desire, hatred and hunger. But surrendering to him could mean betraying everything she believes in.
Because if Reuben is truly the monster she was raised to destroy, then wanting him may be the most dangerous thing of all.
Mel Teshco loves to write scorching paranormal, sci-fi and contemporary stories. Not easy with five cats, two dogs and a fat black thoroughbred vying for attention, especially when Mel’s also busily stuffing around on Facebook. With only one daughter now living at home to feed two minute noodles, she still shakes her head at how she managed to write with three daughters and three stepchildren living under the same roof. Not to mention Mr. Semi-Patient (the one and same husband hoping for early retirement...he’s been waiting a few years now...) Clearly anything is possible, even in the real world.
