Deep, Dark, Desire — Sam Cheever

Ashton Casey is Lupire. But he doesn't know it. He thinks he's a vampire. In a sinister attempt to create his own deadly army, a sorcerer entrapped him and subjected him to decades of torture and re-engineering, twisting his mind and slowly turning him into a monster.

But the Lupire Council has been searching for him and others like him. They've sent a Lupa Guardian warrior, Faye Nicci, to find him. When their minds find each other during the search, Faye must quickly become accustomed to the idea that Ash might be her mate.

She doesn't have much time to get used to the idea. Though he's fought it as long as he can, Ash is mere hours away from succumbing to the sorcerer's poison. With the mating heat riding them hard, and the sorcerer doing all he can to keep them apart, it will take a miracle for these ill-fated lovers to find each other.
