One mission. One night that changed everything... Shapeshifter Ruger's healer powers means he willingly risks everything defending the sick and helpless. But after an ambush nearly kills him, he can only do so much – until sensual shifter Mariska arrives to provide him backup. Mariska is feisty and self-assured, but the moment she picks up Ruger's scent she knows he will be her only weakness...and greatest desire. And she'll do will anything to aid Ruger – even if confronting the enemy puts everything she holds dear in jeopardy.
