Don't let the humans know werewolves exist. Ember never meant to break the cardinal shifter law. But when she finds herself mated to a human professor studying alpha dominance, she realizes that Sebastien's analytical mind is a roadblock she'll struggle to surpass. Except...Sebastien isn't the only scientist on the trail of shifter-kind. When the professor is taken into custody by top-secret government agents, Ember vows to break into their headquarters and retrieve her imprisoned mate. Too bad her only ally is a werewolf enforcer duty-bound to take out any threat to the long-term existence of the packs. And if Ember allows control over her "own" inner wolf to slip, she might very well become the cause of her human partner's demise.
