In the secret war between humans and werewolves, Jonathan Baird and Nikki Reese were natural enemies. Born with the genetic gifts needed to join the secret society of hunters, Nikki had been raised to see all Lycans as her enemy...even if hunting them brought on a powerful craving for sexual release. It was that craving that drew werewolf Jonathan to Nikki. Though he also sought the rogue creatures that threatened the secrecy of his people's existence, his organization sent him to watch her...but he lusted after her, too. When a hunt goes bad and Nikki is infected with the Lycan virus, Jonathan couldn't resist coming to her aid, igniting an insatiable desire between them. Will their passion bring together the two rivals, or will old loyalties die hard?
