Rick // Freeing His Mate — Dana Archer

He's the only one that I want, but I'm not allowed to have much of anything... least of all a man who isn't my owner.

Mya
I always thought shifters were fictional characters...until I started to change into one. I didn't know what was happening and turned to the wrong guy for help. Now I'm a breeder -- nothing more than chattel in the shifter world -- and owned by a criminal. And I can't tell anyone what he's done to me or anyone else. At least, I didn't feel safe telling anyone.

Until I met Rick.

He stirs something inside me I've never felt -- something primal and urgent and real. He can touch my soul and reach my wolf. He's my other half, my one true mate. My heart knows this, but it's not as simple as running off with Rick.

I'm a slave.

But I am more. Legally or not, I must win my freedom. Or I might be silenced... permanently.

Rick
As a Shifter Affairs agent, I solve whatever case I'm assigned...even if that means returning to my late mate's pack lands to track a cold-blooded killer. At least that was my goal before I crossed paths with the one woman I never expected to find.

Mya calls to my body, my heart, my soul. Our bond is rare and beautiful and worth fighting for. She's my true mate.

But ours isn't a fairytale romance. I can't simply claim my fated mate or promise her a love to last forever. She isn't free, and I refuse to let Mya suffer under her breeding partner's iron fist. To save her, I'll have to legally break her bond or break the law. And there's no telling how far her owner will go to prevent Mya from choosing love.
