THE EXPLOSIVE CONCLUSION TO THE DARKTIME TRILOGY…

To save his clan, this bad boy alpha sacrificed everything -- even his honor. Will he be forced to give up his mate as well?

Cougar shifter Adric Savonett is the youngest alpha in the world -- and not because he's a nice guy. He and his sister are alive today thanks to the ruthlessness he hides beneath his cocky rock-star exterior. But now his sister is in danger from a dark fae prince.

Dolphin shifter Rosana do Rio might be young and inexperienced, but her heart recognizes Adric as her mate. Unfortunately, their clans are bitter rivals, and Adric refuses to play Romeo to her Juliet.

Then Rosana comes to him with an offer he never expected -- and can't refuse. That one night he's craved with her? She's ready.

He shouldn't say yes, but he can't resist.

But that one night sets off a deadly chain of events, and the two find themselves locked in a battle with the malevolent fae prince -- with Rosana as the prize. Adric must choose between saving her...or his sister.

Make the wrong choice, and none of them will get home alive...

THE FADA.
Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals from a mix of fae, human and animal genes.
They're wild, ruthless, untamed -- and when they love, it's forever.

Excerpt:

I'll be her first. Adric's chest squeezed.

No other male had touched her. The primitive part of him reveled in that. He wanted to take her, long and hard. Imprint himself on her so that she'd always remember him.

But he also wanted to take care of her. Show her how special she was.

Caress her.

Love her.

He was a hard man. Some would say a cold-blooded killer. But he'd done what he had to, survived when a softer man wouldn't have -- and saved his clan besides. For Rosana, though, he'd dredge up whatever tenderness he could.

The wind had picked up. It whistled through the dunes, whipped her long black curls across her face. She captured her hair in one hand and beamed at him, her irises a deep sapphire in the fading light.

“Race you back to the B&B.” She took off down the street, surprisingly agile in the high-heeled boots.

He blinked, and with a predatory grin, loped after her. His cougar loved a chase.

He stayed behind her until they were almost to the B&B, because hey, watching that ass of hers wasn't a hardship. Then he lunged, grabbing her waist and swinging her into the air. She shrieked with laughter and grabbed his shoulders. Those long legs wrapped around his waist.

"Beat you." He closed his teeth gently on her full lower lip and kept walking toward the B&B. “What do I win?” He hitched her higher and nibbled his way down her neck.

“No fair.” She angled her head so he could taste the tender underside of her jaw. “We didn't agree to anything for the winner.”

He reached around her to open the door to the B&B. The stairwell was silent, his animal-enhanced senses telling him they were alone in the building. He headed up to the second floor with Rosana wrapped around him like a sexy vine.

He let his cat into his smile. “Where did you get the idea I play fair?”
