Two souls cursed a thousand years apart. One forbidden attraction that can't be ignored. Son to a medieval Irish warrior and a twenty-first-century mother, I was born into a curse designed to protect me, but it's been one battle after another. I can't remember the last time I wasn't fighting against a ruthless foe or for my precious territory. Even my alpha status. What I face now, however, is another beast altogether. A newly bitten female from the future. So, what's one more curse? Another evolutionary gap between fated mates? More trouble than I need, given my pack's been raising a Viking dragon to keep it safe. Good of us, right? You would think, but no. Dragons are our predators. Now, just home from fighting for Vikings, I'm dealing with unexpected mutiny and full-out war. Even worse? The female calling to my inner beast across time is born of my enemy, so I have no choice but to convince her she can trust me. Lie to her from the beginning. Because despite how much I crave her, she's about to become my captive and bargaining chip...at least, that's what I'll let everyone think.
