"This was no lustful fascination, this was something undeniably raw, an exposed nerve begging to be touched." Erik Havoc was Hollywood's biggest and hottest star until his dark secret was revealed. He's not human, he's a shifter, and everyone's pissed that he lied. Everyone except for Jessica Eckhart. A pro-shifter activist, Jessica sympathizes with his plight. It doesn't hurt that he's just her type -- tall, dark and handsome. They'd get along even if they didn't have an unmistakable pull forcing them together, a gut feeling that's carved into their souls. She's Erik's mate and he's hers. Can they make their relationship work despite the prejudices that threaten to pull them apart? Or are they destined to remain on opposing sides?
