For Lydia Susi there is no sweet sorrow in saying goodbye to the man she loves. As a wolven
hiding among humans she became used to being alone-until destiny gave her the kind of love she
didn't dare hope for. But then came a devastating diagnosis that ended all her dreams. Grief is
the only thing she sees in her future now. Daniel Joseph as an operative for a clandestine
arm of the U.S. government always expected to die an early death. He just assumed it would be
out in the field . . . not in a hospital bed in an underground lab. With his time running out
he refuses a potentially lifesaving treatment to focus on making sure that Lydia finds her
wolven clan. Following an attack on the lab's compound Daniel fears his former boss is coming
after him and Lydia. Marshaling his strength he must call on all his training to protect the
female he loves . . . even if it means her moving on without him.
