Of all the places in the world, I never imagined meeting my mate on a deadly terrorist mission in the middle of nowhere.I thought my days in the service were behind me—until an old comrade asked me to return a favor. I was on the fence about getting involved with the feds again, until I met my partner, Erica. With one look at those curves, my inner fox demanded she’s mine. And I vowed to never let her out of my sight again.Now we’ve been deployed to scope out a shifter commune run by a terrorist. And time’s running out to save his brainwashed followers. I’m doing my best to stay professional and focus on the mission.But when Erica and I cave to the primal desire between us, we risk getting killed in the process. Danger or not, now that I’ve found her, no one will stop me from keeping her safe.* * * * * *I was supposed to get in, take down the enemy, and get out. Falling in love wasn’t part of the assignment. As a psychic, cracking down on national security threats isn’t super difficult. So when the feds call in an Army consultant to 'help' me bust up a terrorist cell, I’m less than thrilled.Since when do I need help? Especially from a man. But the moment I meet Jack, I know there’s something different about him. Aside from those brilliant eyes and that rock hard body, his energy is absolutely intense. And the more we’re together, the more I crave it.Looks like I’m not the only one hiding a secret, though. Turns out Jack’s a fox shifter. And in the middle of enemy territory, he tells me I’m his mate. That we’re destined, even.The crazy part? I’m willing to find out what that means. If we can make it out of this mission alive.
