What she wanted: A night away from the stress of a full-time job, grad school, and helping to care for her 18-year-old autistic sister. Oh, and a cure for her clumsiness and out of control curls would be nice. What she got: An attempted kidnapping, a strange realm filled with mystical creatures, and a stranger telling her he held a dictate with fine print she preferred not to read. Marry this guy and conceive a magical heir? Ha! Not likely. What he wanted: An obedient woman, for starters. The contract was never his idea, but the fate of his world depended on their compliance. What he got: The impossible task of training a too-spirited woman to channel her deep power. A sassy mortal who can’t comprehend the lengths this powerful canine shape-shifter will go to protect the ones he holds dear. Will they find the middle ground before they violate The Immortal Contract?
