Er hat sie in einer Vision sterben sehen ...

Vor fünf Jahren war Gabriel Vega noch nicht einmal begegnet, doch er weiß, wie sie sterben wird. Er weiß, dass er beteiligt sein wird ... es sei denn, er kann dafür sorgen, dass sie einander nie kennenlernen, ihre Wege sich niemals kreuzen, damit seine Vision nie wahr wird. Also hat er sein Rudel zurückgelassen, sich dem Stavros-Rudel angeschlossen und hatte sich zum Ziel gesetzt, diese Zukunft nicht zuzulassen. Sie nie zu treffen. Das Schicksal hatte jedoch andere Pläne – und sie trat in sein Leben, als er es am wenigsten erwartet hatte. In den letzten fünf Jahren hat er Vega nach Möglichkeit gemieden, auch wenn er versucht hat, sie im Auge zu behalten. Doch als sie sich vom Rudel zurückzieht und verschwindet, hat er keine andere Wahl, als ihr zu folgen. Jetzt zwingen die Umstände sie zur Zusammenarbeit, und er ist entschlossen, sie vor jeder Bedrohung zu schützen. Wenn das bedeutet, für sie zu sterben, ist er mehr als bereit, es zu tun. Doch sie will seinen Schutz nicht. Im Gegenteil: Sie setzt alles daran zu beweisen, dass sie stärker ist, als alle denken.

Sie schreibt ihre eigene Zukunft …

Vega ist nicht mehr derselbe launische Teenager, der vor all den Jahren zum Stavros-Rudel gestoßen ist. Nachdem sie das College abgeschlossen hat, wurde sie für eine Abteilung der übernatürlichen Black Ops der Regierung rekrutiert. Ausgebildet und mehr als bereit für ihre erste Mission, erwartet sie nicht, dass Gabriel sich in ihren Auftrag einmischt. Um ihre Tarnung zu retten, geben sie vor, ein Paar zu sein. Doch schon bald verschwimmen die Linien und keiner kann die brennende Anziehungskraft zwischen ihnen leugnen. Während sie versuchen, einen Mann aufzuhalten, der ihre Leute an den Meistbietenden verkaufen will, kämpfen sie um eine gemeinsame Zukunft. Da die Zeit knapp wird, hat sie keine andere Wahl, als sich auf den unwiderstehlichen Mann zu verlassen, der ihre Welt auf den Kopf gestellt hat. Doch um die Frau, die er liebt, zu retten, muss Gabriel sie aufgeben.

Kyran got into a fair amount of trouble as a teenager, but after eight years in the military, he’s left his troublemaking past behind him and putting down roots. Unfortunately for him, the sheriff of his town has it out for him no matter how much he’s cleaned up his act.

When he’s accused of a crime he didn’t commit, no one is more surprised than him when prim and proper Lucie Miller provides him with an alibi—one that’s a complete lie.

He thinks she’s out of his league.

Lyosha Makanov met Mila by chance, and now she’s all he thinks about. But the two couldn’t be more different, so Lyosha won’t go there. As a security expert, he skirts the law on the regular. Unlike Mila, the newest employee at Red Stone Security who spends her free time volunteering at an animal shelter. Despite his determination to stay away from her, when it becomes clear his past has come back to haunt him—and poses a threat to her—Lyosha immediately steps in. And he’ll cross any line to keep her safe.

But he can’t seem to walk away.

Mila met Lyosha when he brought in a half-starved, stray cat to the shelter she volunteers at. He tries to act tough—and okay, he is. He should be the last man she wants, but she loves his sexy tattoos, gruff demeanor, and that he has a marshmallow inside that only she gets to see. When someone threatens her, he’s convinced it’s linked to his past. He’s made it clear that he’ll protect her with his life—but he won’t give her his heart. Not when he blames himself for bringing danger to her doorstep. Except Mila isn’t the kind of woman who walks away from what she wants. And Lyosha finds himself unwilling to let her go without a fight.
