Lucien, a scarred and broken warrior, refuses to believe the gentle healer Olivia is truly his mate. He thinks she deserves better, even as his wolf fights desperately for her. Olivia has loved him from afar, and now she must use every bit of her healing power— even the terrifying kind— to save his life. But once he wakes, their real struggle begins.
“Does that mean you’re going to send me away? I told you before, and I meant it: I’m not leaving unless you tell me it’s over. That you don’t want me. When you look me in the eye and say you don’t feel for me what I feel for you. That’s what it’s going to…

I wanted to run away and never set eyes on the…
Tears welled in my eyes. This all felt so impossible at times, and I was sick to death of being so damn helpless in my own life. All the power I’d felt at having sex for the first time was gone, withered to nothing in the face of this problem that I couldn’t fix. “If…
A few more handshakes, and we were done. It was time to leave Nis? M?thou, but I had absolutely no idea where we were heading next. Lucien Something was bothering Olivia. I’d noticed it in her silence while we’d thrown our few possessions into the speedboat, in the way she hadn’t settled into my side…
