Dana Patterson never considered her life in Alaska to be simple until she met Connor Sinclair. Becoming friends and roommates is a revelation. To everyone else, Connor is the darkly seductive owner of Vegas's hottest casino. In private, Dana gets to see a vulnerable side no one else knows about, making Connor a temptation she isn't sure she can resist.

Connor knew that openly siding with his brother Flynn against their unstable lycanthrope father would be dangerous. Flynn's victory against Rupert didn't end their family's war, and it's just a matter of time before they face his rage. Rooming with—and secretly protecting—Dana was the right thing to do. Falling into bed together was decidedly not. Dana believes Connor can break free of his ugly past, and if Connor wants their casual fling to grow deeper, he'll have to try.

But escaping the darkness is easier said than done.

When Dana is kidnapped, Connor must confront his father one last time. Winning the battle will make Connor the monster Dana fears most ... and may cost him her love forever.
