Tori Haida was born a stereotype—a pretty swan shifter—and has spent a lifetime living it down with an in-your-face attitude and a zero-tolerance policy for stupidity. Which makes her attraction to the werewolf Alpha's heir more than a tad inconvenient.
Bastian Lykaios is just the kind of dominant male who drives her crazy, and not in a good way. And yet, she can't help wanting him in the worst way.
The moment he arrives at the Refuge Resort, Bastian is in lust. The were-leopards' administrative assistant is a study in contrasts: a cheerleader-perky blonde with a body built for sin, the mouth of a sailor, and a lead foot for her classic car.
Unfortunately, there's no time to indulge in an affair, not while a werekind traitor is leaking information to the human press. But when Tori is kidnapped by a pair of scientists to use as a live specimen, Bastian's plan for damage control turns into a rescue mission. One where all means of rescue are on the table—including betraying his own kind.
