He survived prison by becoming the monster they said he was. She survived privilege by never looking at what paid for it.

Conrad Sanchez was fifteen when his panther broke free to save his life in a small Texas town that had already decided he was nothing. What came next was worse than the beating — years in adult prison with a beast inside him he'd been raised to believe was the Devil's work, and a God he was certain had stopped listening.

He got out. He joined the Sons. He locked the monster down with discipline so cold it passes for calm. But Conrad knows what he is — a condemned man running a mission, not a life.

Addison Jarvis has never questioned what funds her penthouse, her parties, or her place on the Guild's A-list. She is everything Conrad's people were engineered to dismantle — privileged, protected, and utterly certain of her world. Until a kidnapping in a London limousine puts her face to face with a man her body recognises before her mind can catch up, and the life she's never examined starts to collapse around her.

He's supposed to let her go. She's a Guild princess and the mission can't afford the exposure. But his cat has other ideas, and the woman calling him a biological terrorist is also the woman he'd burn the operation to save.

Addison can go home to a world that's never asked her to be anything but decorative. Or she can stay with a man the world threw away and find out what she's actually made of.

A man the system condemned at fifteen. A woman the system rewarded for never asking questions. And a bond that makes them choose between the lives they know and the people they could be.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.

What readers say about the books in the Scorpio Sons series:

"Interesting and different take on shifters. Was hooked right from the start and the story flows so wonderfully I was halfway through the book before I knew it."
"I believe this is the first book I've read by this author and I loved it, this book is different, I loved the whole idea and the characters and the story, it's a fantastic read and I can't wait for the next one."
" Loved this book. Had a fantastic original story, along with hot steamy scenes. I can't wait to read the next."
"So, this was a very different shifter romance than I am used to. Its almost like an even balance of human and shifter and the author did an excellent job making this realistic enough to believe."
