Three years ago Dr. Jie Sing was bitten by a werewolf on the grassy plains of Tibet. A man with healing hands and heart, and a master in Tai Chi, he resists the ravening beast that now lives inside him. However, the beast hungers for the soothing comfort that only his destined mate can provide. When his Master and adoptive father learns through an astrological prediction that Jie does, indeed, have a mate, Jie travels to America to claim her. He is surprised to find a girl named Megan, a golden haired woman with who runs a Chinese market in the heart of Boston's Chinatown who has mastered Tai Chi and speaks perfect Chinese. However, the animal attraction he feels for her is undeniable and he knows that she is his mate. Megan Phillips was not prepared for the intense attraction she experienced for the handsome, mild mannered doctor who walked through the door of her market. In the wake of her beloved Chinese grandfather and teacher's death, she has struggled for months to keep up her livelihood while grieving. Jie, as mysterious as he is kind, comes in and gives her the tenderness and support she has been craving - something she's never experienced with any other man. Soon, she will learn that he is indeed, unlike any other man she's ever met. However, the stars also predicted another werewolf, Ivan Schenko, a Russian gangster who is told that he, too, has a mate—he also comes to claim her. He's tough and ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
