“He already knew. Trust me.”
He dropped her down on the bed, looming over her. In two seconds, he’d ripped her shirt from her body. “Terrified. You fucking terrified me.”
“How do you think I felt watching you take down two Dragons?”
“I was an idiot, Lena. My Wolf is back online. I can smell you quite clearly. I can feel all of it. You’re mine. So you’d better be ready for me.”
“What do you mean?” Her insides grew wet. She was certain he could smell that, so it couldn’t be what he’d been talking about.
“I’m yours now. I’m injured, beaten, and wound up. I have no discernable direction. But I’m yours. Forever.”
Devin really couldn’t see himself as she saw him. “You’re…”
His mouth met hers and his heat consumed her. He pulled back. “You’re mine, Lena.”
Two seconds later, he bit down on her shoulder. She gasped. The pain caused an intense burning, but she wanted it, craved it. Devin had marked her as his mate. Things might never be right in their world but she was his.
She would never let her Wolf go.

Eye Contact
Thirty years ago, after the breakdown of an oil negotiation, the President of the United States decided that all people born with unusual abilities, which he would now refer to as “the condition”, would be locked away from the general public where they couldn’t harm others. Parents and loved ones of these people, most of whom were children, were forced to turn them in upon penalty of death. Formed to keep the institutions secure, the Committee for the Protection of a Free Society now rules these institutions with an iron fist.
The granddaughter of one the Committee members, Addison Wade has lived her life wary of the institutions and all they represent. A woman of secrets, she is forced to turn to Safe Dawn, one of the facilities designed to hold conditioned people, when her nephew is kidnapped and, despite her best efforts, cannot be recovered. She knows the last thing anyone in ‘Safe Dawn’ will want to do is to help a Wade with any problems, but she is desperate and out of options.
Spencer Lewis is famous for being the premier conditioned ‘locator.’ There’s no one he can’t find and he has a soft spot for missing children. But, Spencer has been through a trauma and locating Jeremy Wade may be dangerous both to himself and to those around him. In addition, he takes one look at ice cold Addison Wade and wants nothing more than to knock her down a peg. Never having turned down an opportunity to help a child, he reluctantly agrees to help recover Jeremy.
In a world where nothing is as it seems and every person they encounter has his own agenda, Addison and Spencer will find that the only people they can trust are each other. But how can anyone fall in love living in a world that wants you dead just for being born?
