His touch makes her burn.
And that's the one thing she must never do...
Blaise can't afford to lose control. She can't let her inner monster rise. Not ever again.
Even if that means denying her own feelings...and her fated mate.
But that's okay. She's used to repressing her animal—and her desires. She can keep her distance from him, no matter what her friends think.
Nothing has to change. After all, he can't possibly feel the same instant, soul-deep connection. Despite the way his dark eyes seem to look straight into her heart, seeing everything she tries to hide... he's not a shifter.
At least, not anymore.
With his own animal dead, he never needs to know that she's his mate...
Right?
Author's Note: Look, if you've read the previous Wildfire books, you already know why you should read this one. And if you haven't read the previous books in the series, for the love of all that's holy, don't start with this one! Read the series in order, starting with Wildfire Griffin, and meet a crew of loyal, brave, messed-up shifters who'll do anything for their mates...and each other.
