Unknown to humans, beyond daylight lies a world of intoxicating darkness where deadly creatures prowl with insatiable desires and unbelievable vampires, demons, witches, shifters. When vulnerable humans find themselves thrust into that realm, they'll never be the same. . . The 18th installment in the long running fan-favorite Dark Protectors series from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti! When Mick Brogan saves the life of a wounded, naked woman caught in a trap he'd built to ensnare his enemies, all he sees is someone worse off than himself. He has no idea she'd been a cougar just seconds earlier. But the wild night they share will change everything. . . Liberty "Libby" Brooks plans to leave the morning after her passionate encounter with Mick, until another attack in the wilderness leaves him dying. So she bites him. Hard. She's mated him, made an immortal out of a human male. It's a violation that puts a kill order on his head. But it also makes him strong, dangerously strong. Now Mick is tied to fierce, irresistible Libby. Yet a new, more savvy human faction is coming for the immortal world—and Mick is their way in. Soon, allies become uncertain, and all rules begin to crack. Together, Mick and Libby will be the spark that saves the Realm . . . or the match that finally burns it down.
