The hottest desires are the only thing that can cool a wolf in heat...Sophia Reece never planned for her life to intersect with the world of werewolves. But when her sister is bitten by one, everything changes. Sophia, a geneticist, dives headfirst into the world of shape-shifters, isolating a gene she dubs Furry Beast (FB). In her excitement, though, an ill-timed celebration in the lab leads to an accident—mixing canine and feline samples in a rather unfortunate way, and winding up with syringes pointing the wrong way.Enter Chase—a werewolf who can’t stop thinking about the curvy, irresistible woman who’s driven him to madness. Every moment, he wants to be closer to her, to touch her, to claim her. But Sophia acts like he’s invisible. So why, all of a sudden, does she look at him like she's got a wolf's craving in her eyes? And what’s that strange scent of... cat in the air?Sophia isn’t prepared for what happens next. When her mating heat begins, she’s caught off guard by the overwhelming desires racing through her. And try as she might, she can’t keep the secret she’s been hiding: her intense attraction to Chase. For Chase, it's a dream made real—the one woman he’s craved, now finally in his reach. But their connection is more dangerous than either of them anticipated. As predators close in on Sophia’s research, she’ll have to discover what she’s really capable of, and Chase will have to decide whether he’s ready to claim her as his own, in both body and spirit—or whether his wild side will tear them apart.
