Dyad Love — Ann Hinnenkamp

It is the time of nesting. An immortal Dyad is dead. The females go into heat as the need to replace their loss overwhelms them. Damien's blood runs molten, the drive to reproduce threatening his sanity. But Damien is far from the Dyad home city. As he stands on the brink of madness, a female -- a human -- offers herself to him. It is forbidden. He must resist…

Emma watches the immortal she secretly loves fall apart. She knows what Damien needs…a female. Why shouldn't she save the man she loves? But during their joining, Damien marks Emma as his mate. An action so profoundly un-Dyad, the Elders haven't made a rule against it -- yet. With the future of both races at stake, Damien and Emma must choose -- resist the passion burning between them, or risk everything in a desperate attempt to stay together.
