First published 2009
Anya Kobrin was sixteen when she met Del-Rey Delgado, the genetically modified warrior called the Coyote Ghost. For six years they worked together, planning to rescue Coyote women imprisoned in her father's laboratory. Anya grew from teenager to woman during their partnership, developing feelings for the dangerous rebel. On the day of their carefully planned rescue mission, Del-Rey shattered her trust by shooting her father dead. Now Anya burns with fury at his betrayal, but her rage transforms into something far more dangerous. Mating heat consumes her body and mind, the primal biological drive that bonds Breeds to their chosen partners. Del-Rey experiences the same overwhelming desire, but Anya struggles between forgiveness and revenge. As they guide the freed Breeds toward safety through hostile territory, the mating heat intensifies between them. Anya must decide whether she can ever trust the man who destroyed her family, even as her body demands his touch.
