He’s searched everywhere for his mate, except in his past… So when she shows up on the top secret military base that he’s housed at, dragon shifter Pyne knows that fate has begun to work its mysterious magic. Even as he stares at her beautiful face and decade-old memories return to him, he can tell she didn’t expect to see him there. So why is this driven, no-nonsense gem of a woman really there? When the suspect of an unsolved case from her past shows up, Agent Kim Phrasier breaks all the rules to go after him. He tried to kill her and almost succeeded. This time he’s not getting away. Unexpectedly reunited with the drop-dead handsome government agent she worked with to bring him down, Kim finds herself struggling to focus on the case. Everything between them has changed, and neither of them know how to talk about it. Their fascination with one another has blinded them to the fact that their mutual enemy is back, and this time he’s not trying to get away. They’ve walked right into a trap, and he’s got them cornered with no easy way out. If Pyne wants to keep his mate around, he’s not only going to have to stop the maniac hell bent on revenge, but also find the words to tell Kim just what she means to him before it’s too late.
