He was hired to return a treasure, not fall in love with her.

When the Phoenix Lunar Coven hires ruthless mercenary Maximillian Z to recover their most sacred relic from a deadly skin-walker, they expect swift results. What they don't expect is for Z to run off with the treasure instead.

Because the "relic" is no mere object—she's Princess Tierra, a rare hybrid of werewolf and phoenix, caught in the grip of her mating heat. Bound by duty to her coven, Tierra ignites something fierce and possessive in Z... and he refuses to give her back.

But ancient powers are in play, and the Lunar Eclipse approaches. Whoever kills the Firewolf during the celestial event will inherit the Coven's magic. With the skin-walker hunting Tierra and Z's vengeful clan closing in, time is running out.

Can Z protect Tierra from those who would destroy her—or will their passion spark a war that consumes them both?
