Feral Heart — Angela Addams

A feral heart might bite but it's the heart that needs love the most.

Bas Frank is a tough guy -- a witch apart from others, and that's the way he likes it. He learned young that human witches couldn't be trusted with magic, after his mother paid the ultimate price. His hatred for human witches has molded into armor over the years, which puts his academic ambitions to the test when White Willow opens its doors for human-born witches.

When an incident with a human-born witch lands Bas in trouble, he finds himself working in the dungeon, which isn't as bad as it could be, considering his supervisor, Familiar Keeper Mina Knox, is hot-as-hell and takes no crap. He's so enamored he falls in instant-lust…before the hammer drops and he learns about her human lineage.

But even with a lifetime of prejudice screaming at him that she can't be trusted, Bas finds it impossible to keep his distance. He doesn't want or expect to fall in love, but Mina's compassion chinks his armor, and once a shield is weakened, it's only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.
