Vero Phoenix is a Kurjan and has backed his brother as king of the Kurjan’s. The peace between the Kurjans and The Realm, the Dark Protectors, is finally in place. Vero is his brother’s second and protector. Lyrica Graves is a specially enhanced human and is kidnapped by the Kurjan’s, before the new king. Now she is trying to help the other kidnapped females modernize and free them, if they want. They are brought to be mates for a Kurjan. Lyrica has no family and plans to leave. The electricity between Vero and Lyrica lights the whole place. But someone is killing females and leaving them in the snow. There is no evidence except for a circle with three slashes left on the bodies. The Cyst are going to be arriving ( they are the spiritual leaders of the Kurjan ) and hopefully sign a contract with the Kurjan nation to reunite them. Can they find the killer before someone else is taken? Action. Suspense. Steamy. A Kurjan and a human. Opposites attract. Vero is big, strong, and protective. Lyrica speaks her mind. They are perfect for each other. Loved this book. * VOLUNTARILY READ AND RECEIVED FROM NETGALLEY *
