"Maya survived the Lycanthropy outbreak that changed her world. She survived a werewolf attack that made her a psychic. But now she's alive and well and on the run from a government hunter, and part of her burns to be Captured..."
For Maya Blake, "well" means no tubes in her arms, no electrodes on her skin, and absolutely no lab coats in sight. A werewolf attack victim who has become a powerful psychic, Maya is the property of a government that wants to keep her locked in a research hospital. She's on the run in a desperate attempt to keep her younger sister, a full-fledged werewolf, from the scientists' clutches, but she underestimates the long arm of the law.
Werewolves are Adam Shepherd's specialty. In a world being taken over by a monstrous disease, survivors might hold the key to mankind's survival in their veins. Lycanthropy took his family. Werewolves killed his adoptive family. If he can neutralize pack after pack in the name of a cure, then he's fulfilling two driving needs with one urgent mission.
"Not all fugitives have fangs, however."
When Maya's stunned by intimate premonitions about the hardened, no-nonsense leader of ruthless mercenaries as they capture her, she can hardly control herself. Her hands might somehow know the feel of his smooth, muscular skin. Her lips might know his taste. But her heart knows he must be her enemy. How can the man who threatens to take away her and her sister's freedom ever be her lover?
"Publisher's Note: This book contains anal play, menage (m/m/f with m/m sexual interaction), and some violence."
