One look sparks the bond. One kiss could unravel them.
Toran has always known how his story ends. He could die young without a mate or surrender the emotions that make him a man. Stranded on Earth with his enemies closing in, the last thing he expects is her—his denya, the one woman fated to be his in every fiery, soul-deep way.
Iris doesn't do fate. And she sure as hell doesn't do entangled.
A top analyst for the Sol Defense Agency, she deals in logic, not lust. After a brutal breakup and a year of emotional fallout, she's sworn off men, especially brooding, relentlessly intense aliens with too many secrets and eyes that see straight through her.
But the moment Toran touches her, the world shifts.
The heat is instant. The pull is potent.
And it only gets harder to resist.
He's all hunger and razor-sharp devotion, barely leashed power wrapped in scars and smoldering restraint. She's the one thing he was never meant to have, and now that he's found her, he'll risk anything to keep her.
Their bond is searing, undeniable… and dangerously incomplete.
Every touch threatens to consume them.
Every kiss pulls Toran closer to the edge.
And as ancient enemies rise and Earth itself becomes a target, their connection could mean salvation… or ignite a war that burns them both to ash.
