It happens whenever wolf shifter Roni Axton is near Marcus Fuller: a crackle of sexual understanding that’s intoxicating…and deeply annoying. Marcus is certainly a pack enforcer who oozes power, but Roni is lethal in her own right-nothing just like the flirty females who flock around him. Actually still, his possessive gaze makes a very important factor clear. Marcus has singled her out for seduction, and he wants to make her sit up and beg. No matter how aloof and unfazed Roni works, Marcus can tell she wants him. Whenever a brutal attack with a jackal pack causes them to work together, it’s the perfect opportunity for Marcus to chip aside at her defenses-until he falls into his personal trap, completely unprepared for the strength of their connection. Roni is the only 1 who’s ever noticed past his shifter charm and discovered the person concealing beneath it. And for Marcus, declaring Roni once will mean needing her forever.
