When half-wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn’t understand existed, a key is revealed: simply because a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother . and then himself.

Frankie was torn from her pack by her mother’s human being relatives, and the injury was erased from her memory. Recognizing that she’s been lied to her lifetime, she’s never sensed more only. Until she catches the scent of a vintage friend-warmly familiar and intoxicating.

Technique Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, can sense the hurry of mutual appeal when he sees Frankie again. He understands instantly that she’s his true partner. But he also understands that, given her fragile condition, he must tread with care-no matter how fierce his surging wishes.

As aroused mainly because Frankie is by Trick’s darkly dominant surroundings and simmering desire, her priority at this time is her past-not her future, regardless of how tempting. But as even more secrets emerge and Frankie’s life is threatened, Technique should do everything he can to keep her close and secure. In the end, it’s their destiny.
