Brittany's hands have always been too warm, her touch healing in ways medical school never taught her, but she's spent years convincing herself it's just intuition until she finds a dying werewolf on a mountain road. Tyler's not just any wolf he's the last heir of an ancient bloodline, cursed to die unless he finds his prophesied mate, the one whose touch can break supernatural poison and heal what magic has torn apart. When Brittany's fingers stop his heart from failing, the mating bond snaps into place like a live wire, burning through both their souls with recognition neither wants to accept. But Crystal doesn't just want Tyler dead she needs Brittany alive, because the same bloodline that makes Brittany a perfect mate also makes her the key to controlling every werewolf pack in North America. Between government agents who hunt supernatural beings and a stepmother who'll torture anyone to get what she wants, Brittany's got twenty-four hours to master powers she's denied her whole life or watch the man fate chose for her die screaming. Brittany thought she was human until she touched a dying Alpha and felt ancient magic wake up in her veins like molten gold. Tyler thought he was cursed to die alone until Brittany's healing fire burned away poison that should have stopped his heart. Now they're both targets in a war they didn't know existed, their mating bond a weapon everyone wants to control and a love story that could either save the supernatural world or destroy it completely. In a race against time where government conspiracies collide with pack politics and family betrayal, can two people who've never belonged anywhere find home in each other's arms, or will the forces hunting them tear apart the bond that fate spent centuries creating?
