Willow's sire can prove what some believe—that Shifters are human. Packing more human than extraterrestrial DNA, his choices in starting a family feud and teaching his sons and nephews to resent his enemy reflect his primary genetic ancestry. He's human, and the one shining star's light peering through suffocating cloak of his rage in The Wild is his only daughter, Willow… She's just mated the enemy. Or so she thinks after giving her body to Boa. Time will tell if Boa's truly devoted to her. Because devotion comes with a high cost—one he's pointed out to her. He's decided to postpone marking her as his mate to save her from her sire's wrath until he can think of a way to create a peaceful place for them to live as mates. However, he never counted on stoking her resentment. Boa's spent a decade lying in wait like his namesake, hunting its prey. However, his motivation is to mate, not to feed on a female's flesh for revenge, believing patience is the hunter's virtue. Especially when he sees Willow for what she is—a part of The Wild, a free spirit trapped under her sire's roof. Unfortunately, his sire just ordered Boa to travel across The Wild to the annual Shifter gathering. Knowing he can't meet with Willow to inform her of his obligation to his sire, he's forced to depart. The last thing he expects is to find is an angry Willow and her sire at the gathering. Dare she trust his promises as he carries on SEDUCING BEAUTY?
