Can a protective alien warrior save a fragile woman from his enemies - and his own desperate need? Leslie is used to be being the quiet twin, but she has no intention of remaining silent when her sister could be in danger. Nisani, the Vulfar Ruler, is big, gruff, and intimidating - but he’s the only one who can help her. Nisani bears the overwhelming weight of his responsibilities patiently, just as he was raised to do. Hiding his attraction to the beautiful human in his care is much more difficult, even though he knows she can never be his. When an unexpected attack leaves Leslie and Nisani stranded together in the wilderness, civilized rules no longer seem to apply. But can their fiery attraction survive a vicious plot - and the return to their previous lives?
