Like the Siberian tiger he can transform into, Maks Altán is a strong, ferocious fighter who's incredibly protective of his Sentinel kin. But thanks to a debilitating injury, he feels anything but fierce. That is, until he is sent to guard Katie Maddox, a gorgeous healer who awakens a dangerous lust within him. Problem is, in the shifter world, Katie's deer alter ego is easy prey...and much too tempting for Maks.

As unnamed danger lurks just beyond her awareness, Katie has doubts — about her abilities, her role in the Sentinels, and the strange desire she feels towards her new protector. But somehow, the wounded predator and his wary prey must ignore their instincts, fears, and dangerous attraction to each other in order to defeat their common enemy!
