The mate he never expected. The powers she never asked for...

Maya Brown is New York tough. She doesn't believe in magic—until she's kidnapped along with her eccentric godmother, Anna.

By an elf!

Freed by a strange power, and reeling from bizarre revelations about her heritage, Maya follows Anna's plea to seek out a man named Soren at—of all things—a magical bar. Maya doesn't believe in love at first sight, either, but when she encounters seven-plus feet of muscle and mood-changing eyes, her body does a full-on reset.

Nothing shakes up Soren Westerberg, Titanian Enforcer assigned to NYC. Until a beautiful human woman with golden skin and lost brown eyes walks into a bar. In one trembling instant he knows that she's his mate—who promptly faints away in his arms.

Their bond is instant, gloriously intense, and a miracle. Soren's life scroll never foretold a mate, but now that he has her, he'll protect her at all costs. Because she's not just his—she's an extraordinary being coming into her powers. And ready or not, that makes her a target of his cruelest enemy.
