Maverick: I'm a loner, a hybrid, a man without a pack or a coven. My abilities as a shifter and a vampire, as well as my human side, are constantly at war with one another. Solitude is the only way I can survive my so-called life. I do jobs for the Rogue Enforcers, live with some woman's voice in my head, and have one man I call friend. When Charisma telepathically tells me that my mate is in trouble, I find that I've got more people in my corner than I expected as we fight enemies from my past. A past I know nothing about, thanks to my heritage and the stigma attached. But we cannot lose, I cannot lose because this woman who is my destined mate? Will help me heal the world. Connelly: The irony about being a shifter is that some of us have more abilities than others. My bloodline comes straight from the originals of our species and as such, is sought after for its magical properties. When I'm kidnapped and held captive by a coven of vampires, I pray for death since I can't shift and destroy them all. Only, help comes from an unlikely source, one who tells me that my mate has been notified and to hang on until he arrives. Never expecting to have a mate, I'm intrigued yet nervous. Will Maverick, the curmudgeonly hybrid, find his mate in time? Will he allow more people into his solitary life? Can his friends help him right the wrongs of the past? Can Connelly trust that he will do her no harm?
