Morgan Hector is mine, but for her own safety, I can never claim the pretty witch. I can never sate myself on her blood or bring her to bliss with my teeth. We’ll never be anything more than acquaintances. But when I discover she’s homeless and living in my office at Town Hall, I do what I shouldn’t—I bring her home. Being in close proximity with the mate I hold at arm’s length is the most devastating torture. Morgan is smart, stunning, and imbued with a healing magic stronger than any I’ve encountered. She smells good enough to eat, and I’d give my right fang to devour her. The longer we spend under the same roof, the more my control beings to fray. But the secrets I harbor protect innocent lives—including Morgan’s. No matter how much I long for her, I can’t give into temptation. But just when I think I’ve wrestled back my desire, a dangerous warlock makes his final play against me. When Morgan ends up in his crosshairs, I have impossible decisions to make. In a war between duty and love, can I make the choice that’s right for her? Or will I doom us both to misery and loss?
