Jessa Raines knows the rules of the silver for the heart, steel for the soul, and never trust the things that go bump in the night. As the heir to a legendary legacy of protectors, her path is set in stone until she encounters Mordecai Coldwater. He is everything her family fears—powerful, ancient, and devastatingly beautiful. When an ancient relic awakens a darkness that threatens to consume their world, Jessa is forced to make a choice that goes against every instinct she possesses. Mordecai has spent centuries hiding from the light, but the pull of the fated bond is impossible to ignore. Every touch is a betrayal; every look is a sin. As their enemies close in from both sides, they must decide if their connection is a gift or a curse designed to destroy them both. In a world where love is the ultimate treason, staying together might be the most dangerous thing they've ever done. When the moon rises, the only thing more dangerous than the shadows is the passion burning between them.
