Being the empathic daughter of a magician with the inability to transform into her wolf is not something Tessa Shaw wants anyone to know, especially the inquisitive detective Phelan Rand.

When Tessa becomes the target of an enemy shifter intent on stealing magic to destroy her family, she has no choice but to trust the sexy wolf shifter with her life...and possibly her heart.

Phelan Rand thought taking the new job with the special investigation division was going to advance his career, not hinder it. When he’s reassigned from a murder investigation to work as security for a local casino, he knows he’s in trouble. Working undercover means being around Tessa. The enticing female is his partner’s sister and his new alpha’s niece—a situation that moves her to the top of his do-not-mess-with-ever list.

Entrusted with Tessa’s safety, his greatest challenge besides keeping her alive will be resisting the tempting she-wolf—hard to do when his inner wolf insists that she’s his mate.
