Falling out of a window is one way to meet your destiny, though it's not something Isabella Ross would have chosen for herself. The shy librarian is irresistibly drawn to the striking man on the dark street outside of her apartment. And when Bella slips, dropping into his arms, her future—and heart—will be changed forever.
Jacob is a Demon, a race of immortals gifted with nature-oriented powers. As an Enforcer, he is duty-bound to keep his fellow Demons from succumbing to the curse of his species: the madness to mate with humans during a full moon.
When Jacob saves Bella, a connection is formed that is at once puzzling and passionate. Although he hasn't lost control in more than four hundred years, Bella stirs a desire in him that overtakes his senses, one that could upend his centuries-old life—and the entire world of the immortals.
The story continues in the bonus novella, Kane, featuring Jacob's brother as he encounters his true mate. The only way Corinne can safely transition to Kane's Demon world is by staying by his side—no easy task, as Kane could destroy her if he claims too soon the beautiful woman his body aches to make his own. . . .
