First published 2013
Uilleam MacRieve stands broken after brutal torture destroys his Lykae instincts and resurrects childhood trauma. The Scottish immortal wants only death until he encounters Chloe Todd at a supernatural slave auction. Chloe has been seized and thrust into a world of monsters she never knew existed. When creatures bid for her in chains, she expects to die before dawn. MacRieve claims her instead, drawn by her fierce spirit that pulls him from despair. He takes her to his ancestral Highland keep, away from circling enemies. In his bed, Chloe transforms into something beyond human, awakening MacRieve's savage nature and threatening his fragile sanity. As the full moon approaches, his worst instincts surface. MacRieve must overcome the demons of his past to protect Chloe from the greatest danger she faces: himself.
