But as he fights to ignore the magnetic pull toward Alaric, he discovers feelings his accident suppressed. Thrilled to have found him again, Alaric Mako woos Jamar the only way a loan shark can-with dogged obsession.

Jake T. Anderson vs. Alfredo Barbieri When primal instincts collide. Jake T. Anderson has battled monsters, navigated cutthroat council politics, and survived power plays that could level nations-but nothing prepared him for Alfredo Barbieri. A two-century-old vampire with a mouth that never quits and a body that practically begs for discipline, Alfredo is chaos incarnate. And from the moment Jake lays eyes on him, he knows one thing for certain-this chaos is his to command. The vampire pushes every limit, claws at every rule-but soon, he will learn exactly what it means to kneel for his mate. Not out of weakness, but because deep down, he craves to submit to that one person who sees the wildfire in him... and chooses to burn alongside it.

The werewolf alpha is seven feet of raw power, ruthless charm, and dominant energy that threatens to rip the ground right out from under him. He doesn't ask. He commands. And worse- Alfredo like it.

Should fight. But the terrifying truth is that Alfredo wants to be his. Not his pet. Not his prize. But his to tame. His to break. His to own. One vampire's chaos. One alpha's control. And one bond neither of them saw coming.
