It's an ordinary workday. A little filing. A little scheduling. A little... murder.

Emerson runs, but the jaguar shifter gets trapped in a cabin with a man named Clay.

Except Clay is no ordinary human.

The teleporter is a ruthless mercenary who will stop at nothing to save his brother from Emerson's deadly boss.

Even if that means sacrificing Emerson.

Understanding she's not Clay's priority, Emerson shouldn't want him in her bed. But her jaguar has other ideas.

After Clay's long-planned rescue of his brother goes awry, he reluctantly lies low with Emerson at the cabin. Not only is she the personal assistant of his brother's kidnapper, she's also the smartest, sexiest woman Clay's ever known.

It doesn't matter that he isn't relationship material, not when she's a shifter who can't control her teeth and claws.

Though this attraction, he can't ignore.

Especially when Emerson's heat starts, and she needs his body for more than protection.

Unfortunately, they can't hide out forever. Emerson's boss is a danger to them, Clay's brother, and the entire shifter community. For once, Emerson must trust a man with her life and her heart.

With hearts and lives on the line, can Clay rescue his brother... or will he risk everything to save her?
