This scintillating tale about a jaded werewolf and a captivating young witch from the Immortals After Dark series is “delicious [and] sizzling” (Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author)—from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Kresley Cole. Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the woman he loved.

When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander must use all his strength and skill to keep her alive. Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It’s rumored that no one can tempt Bowen’s hardened heart, but soon passion sparks between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go. If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?
