Part of New Species, book 12
First published 2014
Kat walks through the front gates of Homeland on an undercover mission. Her boss wants intelligence on the NSO, but her plan falls apart immediately. A large, commanding New Species male arrests her. Darkness should terrify her, yet Kat feels attraction instead of fear. The chemistry between them ignites quickly. Darkness finds himself drawn to Kat's fearless attitude, but he refuses to believe her words. He has avoided women for years, convinced his psychological scars make him unfit as a mate. Control defines everything about his existence, and he fears what might happen if those barriers crumble. Kat wants him completely, but Darkness worries about the damage he might cause. His protective walls have kept him safe, and tearing them down seems impossible, even for her. As their relationship intensifies, Kat discovers new aspects of herself. Handcuffs and submission awaken desires she never knew existed. Darkness needs control, and Kat finds herself embracing her submissive side. She hopes this powerful male will not shatter her heart, while he struggles with wanting to possess her entirely despite believing he cannot offer her what she deserves.
