Akori wants nothing to do with this whole mate business. Some of his fellow warriors may have succumbed to what Ra deems an inescapable fate, but Akori knows better. If he can avoid placing himself in a situation where destiny can gain the upper hand, he’ll be fine. No problem. What he doesn’t count on is fate showing up on his doorstep. Jordan didn’t expect to find the added bonus of a hotter-than-hell man while out scouting photo shoot locations, but her artistic eye knows what sin in jeans looks like, and this guy is it. Used to taking the backseat to her models, she’s pleasantly surprised when Akori looks at her with hunger in his eyes. But as things heat up, danger approaches, and Jordan discovers she must not only accept Akori for what he truly is, but also save him from a fate worse than death.
