You are cordially invited to have your heart's desire come true.

For Kaitlin Claremont this is a very tall order. What wouldn't an orphan girl living over of her aunt's shop wish for? But when her one night of forbidden passion in the arms of her sexy substitute teacher turns into a nightmare, Katie realizes quickly that nothing is as it seems and there is so much more to Kaleb than she ever bargained for.

Kaleb O'Reilly has his own demons and even with all his training, he's not prepared for the brown-eyed beauty, nor can he deny he wants her in a way that very much complicates everything. But what happens when the hunger wins and his true purpose puts Katie at risk? Can he protect her from his mistakes? And can Katie protect those she loves from a monster with no mercy?

Time is running out.
