About the book: year / In the third sexy book in the Phoenix Pack series, the Alpha of the pack and his true soulmate struggle with painful secrets, ruthless enemies and a wild attraction to each other friend. Half-werewolf Shia Critchley can continue to play the role of a submissive wolf in the pack, but stops taking orders. After her true mate - the Alpha of another pack - refuses to claim her - but continues to interfere in her life - Shaya gives up. Now she hides from him and leads the life of a human in a city full of extremist groups that destroy werewolves. Shia believes that Alpha will never find her, and this suits her completely. Except she's wrong. Nick Axton can barely control his feelings for Shaya, but he can't connect with her—not if he really wants to care about her. A degenerative brain condition that Nick is keeping secret from everyone will leave Shia with a burden rather than a mate. But when Shia escapes, Nick can't bear the thought of never seeing her again. Tracking her location, Nick discovers Shia's brave and passionate nature - a part of her he has never seen. Under the menacing gaze of the local packs and violent extremists among the humans, Nick vows to conquer Shia... and despite desperate resistance, Shia finds his fierce determination an absolute aphrodisiac..
