When the one female he can’t stand becomes the only one he can’t live without, he’ll do anything to claim her… even if it kills them both.
For almost two hundred years, Trace has searched for his mate. Enter Cordray. Brash, sassy, and detestable for about a hundred reasons, the heavily tattooed Cordray infuriates Trace down to his last frayed nerve. But he can’t deny the way his body reacts every time she’s near. She calms his power and sparks his desire in a way no one ever has, which terrifies him, because if she has that kind of control over him, what else is she capable of?
Cordray thinks Trace is the most exciting male she’s ever met, but she refuses to drop her guard and let him in. She loved deeply once before, only to be spurned when her lover mated another. The heartbreak was so severe, she lost her ability to feel. Not even a bullet to the chest fazes her now. But Trace has reawakened her sense of touch, and she wants more than anything to feel him everywhere. But she’s terrified that if she takes another chance on love, only to be rejected again, this time it will kill her.
With both committed to pushing the other away, every conversation escalates into a war of words. But for these two, the fights are just foreplay. It’s only a matter of time before their desire grows stronger than their resistance, and when it does, God help anyone—or anything—that tries to keep them apart.
