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.
