Ex-Army Specialist Jace River has a lock on his bedroom door, but it isn’t to keep anyone away; it’s to keep his nightmares from breaking loose. His wolf is an out-of-control killer, which means he can never risk shifting, never really be part of his pack, and definitely never take a mate. Piper Wilding works for the Army being a civilian, journeying the world for her work in counterintelligence and fighting the criminals while bed linens down the good ones. The best component? It retains her definately not her about Jace asshole father in Seattle, the rest of the Wilding pack, and the pressure to have a mate. Settling down isn’t her thing, and after what occurred to her mother, Piper vowed she would never be linked down by magic or guys again. While Jace’s wolf keeps him Sleepless in Seattle, Piper profits home to find her missing kid sibling. When she breaks into the River brothers’ safehouse, sparks take a flight and claws come out. Her sexy skills threaten to draw out Jace’s wolf, and Jace’s good-guy hotness reminds Piper how luring shifter men can be. They’re like open fire and gas, and because they race to find Piper’s brother, the heat threatens to burn off down almost all their cautiously constructed walls. But dropping in love has never been so harmful, and being jointly means taking chances that neither might survive.
