But he's not the only man watching her.
Someone else is out there. Someone darker. Hungrier. And he doesn't want to protect Juniper-he wants to claim her.
Caught between two dangerous men and a web of secrets that go deeper than she ever imagined, Juniper must decide who to trust... and who will break her.
