The warmth of his touch sent shivers down her spine as she surrendered to the moment, eyes closing in bliss. The unmistakable evidence of his desire pressed against her, a testament to the longing he'd harbored. A knowing smile played at her lips. His hand descended to her breast, the thin blue bathrobe offering little resistance to his caress. Her body responded instantly, every nerve alive and tingling beneath his expert touch. Zeidan possessed an uncanny ability to unravel her defenses and ignite her passion. "Mmh." Her breathless moan ignited something primal within him. In one fluid motion, he lifted her onto the bed, his black shirt discarded in haste as he joined her. ----------- Lyne was born into the werewolf elite, a destiny most craved—yet for her, it became a curse.

A fateful contract binding her to Zeidan, a seductive vampire lord, seemed to trap her in endless torment. But Lyne soon discovers her nightmare is far from over when she must contend with Luana, a fierce and possessive female vampire consumed by obsession, while simultaneously proving herself valuable to Zeidan by standing against their mortal enemies—the Werecats.
