In an alternate Victorian London where magic reigns supreme, Duke Evander Ravenwood hides a dangerous secret—he is an Archmage of unparalleled power.

"I'd pretty much given up on family. Raised in the foster system, I've always been on my own and thought it would be that way forever.
But now I have a new cat shifter pride, I've been reunited with the father who never knew I existed, and I have a new love—my Alpha, Anthony Holder.
Anthony is my fated mate, and I'm drawn to him like I've never been to another person. Our bond is hot and irresistible, and for the first time I see a future no longer marred by loneliness and solitude.
But the rogue shifter who bit me is still out there, and he's bent on vengeance against the Alpha, and everyone in the pride. If we don't track him down before he strikes again, more innocents could be at risk, and that bright future could drift away before it even begins.
Not to mention, an even bigger threat lurks on the horizon . . .

"I'm beginning to think he needs me as much as I need him . . .
Look, there are plenty of things I just learned about the gorgeous, seven-foot-tall perfect specimen of male living next door to me:
1. Karnak can scent everything about me, including those times I thought I was alone in my hot tub and I decided to experiment with different water jet settings.
2. He's really good at finding lost kitties (not a euphemism).
3. In the four years I've lived next door to him, the orc has known—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that I'm his fated Mate. And apparently it's killing him to stay away.
But our beach town of Eastshore is dying, and I'm the one tasked with saving it. No pressure, right? And the fourth thing I've just learned about Karnak is that despite being the world's largest, greenest recluse, he's also the only one who can help me save our cozy, tightknit community. Unfortunately, he has this silly idea he deserves to be alone. If I can't convince him this town is perfect for him, then how can I prove I'm perfect for him, too?

"I can constantly hear them, the voices. It doesn't matter if I'm in a crowded room or the middle of a desert, I hear them, indistinct voices. I can never really work out what they're saying, and I've long given up trying.
Everything changes when my life is threatened again, and the voices quiet, one strong voice telling me to run, so of course, I listen.
When some supernatural agents turn up in town, I should be cautious, but thanks to my instincts, which have always guided me right before, I'm not worried about them at all, at least, I'm not until they start to notice things about me, differences that no human should have.
Thankfully, a call from my more bloody job saves me from having to stick around. The betrayal that quickly follows doesn't surprise me, it does leave me only one place to go, and I have no idea how he's going to react or if I'll even make it there alive.
It's a good job that I never turn down a challenge because this may be one that I don't survive.
