This is a battle of wills between a diplomat who fights with words and a warrior who speaks in dominance.Zane is six-foot-four of pure, intimidating male who moves like a predator and looks at me like I’m prey he wants to devour.His golden eyes strip me bare, his voice rumbles through my chest and makes my panther purr against my will.Then, mate recognition strikes us both during our most heated argument.Now I’m supposed to negotiate with the one man destined to be mine, but he thinks I’m too “civilized” to be his equal.Zane does not want a partner; he wants to “claim” a mate.The claiming entails three days of surrender to our primal nature. No words. No walls. Just instinct, hunger, and fire.I will have to abandon everything I’ve worked for… or turn into something far more dangerous.But when the Mountain Bear clan marches towards Heaven’s Heart with deadly intent, I realize I must become the wildest thing in these mountains, while preserving some semblance of my diplomatic veneer.Zane came to dominate. Now this Alpha is about to meet the beast I’ve kept caged. less
