Lucas — Madison Stevens

When Taylor Mills divorced her cheating husband, she never expected her town to turn against her. Now it seems like not putting up with a philander isn't just going to hurt her, but also the family ranch. Though the hunky Lucas is a bright spot in her day, she doesn't have time to even think about dating.

Hybrid Lucas knows Taylor is meant to be his Vestal, his true mate, but he's not been able to do more than flirt with her during meat deliveries.

The sassy redhead and her hot body have consumed his thoughts since their first meeting. He stumbles over ways to get to know Taylor without revealing his hybrid nature and putting all the local hybrids at risk.

Time is their enemy. Desperate and out of options to save the family ranch, Taylor is forced to deal with one of the few groups that frighten the hybrids: the deadly Azilian cult.

Concern born of passion may not be enough to save them from the threats coming their way.
