He will do anything to save them, even tolerate a connection Heaven shares with her Keeper. Yet the man sworn to protect her is the one Dylan used to call his friend. Layne is struggling to harness his pyrokinesis. Controlling the fire within him is tougher than he imagined, but so is accepting his role as Heaven's Keeper. As if kissing her didn't cause enough friction, he learns their Seeker-Keeper bond is far more complicated. Heaven is affecting more than his mind and powers. She's waging war on his heart and soul.

They know how important good grooming is—especially a certain rogue shape-shifter who is as sexy as he is deadly. Now, if only I could put a leash on my wild teenage son. He’s up to his neck in danger. The stress would kill me if I wasn’t already dead. But my maternal instincts are sill alive and kicking, so no one better mess with my flesh and blood.
