Jade knew she'd be dead within the next few minutes and thought about all the life she'd never get to experience. When she wakes in the arms of a stranger, her first emotion is unbridled fear, but the feeling of contentment quickly follows, confusing her.

Jacob's time on earth was about done. He'd come to grips with it a long time ago, but it was hard for him to take the pain that slowly got worse as the weeks passed.

One moment in time changes their lives. He finally found the one person he wanted most—his mate. The only problem was keeping her safe from the person who wanted to make her pay.

The first book in the CARNAL LUST series can be found in the ALPHA MALE anthology.
