About this ebook
A future with her demands he surrender the revenge that defines him.
Five years after the Second Civil War, humans and Otherborn still struggle to coexist. To keep the fragile peace intact, the FBI forms a Para-Ops team—designed to handle threats no one else can.
Werebeast Dex Hunt serves on that team with a secret agenda. His real purpose isn’t justice—it’s vengeance. He’s been waiting for the chance to kill the werewolf leader he blames for his mother’s death. He keeps emotional distance from everyone around him, especially from the vampire woman he once met—and never forgot.
Jesmina Martin has spent her immortal life healing others. As a doctor and researcher, she’s devoted to extending lifespans, driven by love for her adoptive dragon-shifter family and the werewolf who once saved her life. She believes Dex holds the key to her research, even though he knows nothing of the gift she hopes to unlock.
After one passionate night neither expects to matter, fate reunites them under dangerous circumstances—and with a fragile miracle neither saw coming. As rebel shapeshifters threaten to unleash chaos and old grudges surface, Dex and Jesmina are forced to confront the truths they’ve been hiding.
To save their future and possibly the world they’ll have to relinquish vengeance, risk their hearts, and choose love over regret.
A powerful paranormal romantic suspense about destiny, sacrifice, and choosing love in the face of vengeance.
