Macrieve

Uilleam MacRieve is a Lykae, an immortal Scot who can shift into a beast. He believed the ghosts of his boyhood were buried, but a brutal torture drags those old agonies back up and destroys his Lykae instinct. In that state he wants only to die.

Chloe Todd is a young human who has been seized and chained for an auction block. She is forced into a world of monsters and lore as a bound slave, and when she is offered up to creatures of the dark, she fears she will not live through the night. Then MacRieve claims her. His eyes are full of pain, and his touch sets her blood on fire.

With a full moon rising and enemies closing in, MacRieve takes Chloe to the isolated highland keep where he grew up. Once she is in his bed, she begins to change into something more than human. That change stirs his savage past and puts his sanity to the test.

This is a paranormal romance and an installment in the Immortals After Dark series, which follows the immortal inhabitants of the Lore, among them vampires, Lykae, Furies, shifters, the Fey and Valkyries. The romance is sensual and the tone is dark, with a ticking clock set by the moon. As it nears, MacRieve must face his worst nightmare to keep Chloe safe from himself.
