Her breathless kiss haunts him…
Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the one woman meant for him. The ruthless warrior grew even colder, never taking another to his bed—until a smoldering encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his darkest desires. When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all his strength and skill to keep her alive.
His slow, hot touch is irresistible…
Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It's rumored that no one can tempt Bowen's hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go.
No deed is too wicked for her seduction…
If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul—or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?

"I am loving this series. Alot of times I find series to be repetitive but, Not so with this one so far. They all are about completely different mythical races so no two stories can be alike. Kresley Cole is awesome!"
— Heather (5 out of 5 stars)
“A unique romance—it truly stands on its own!”
— Sherrilyn Kenyon, New York Times bestselling author“Leave it to the awe-inspiring Cole to dish up a combustible mix of sorcery and passion, heavily dosed with deadly danger. The emotions and conflict in this tale make it one for the keeper shelf!”

— Chels, 1/26/2014" Another entertaining romance from Kresley Cole. I liked Bowen and Mariketa, although I thought this one focused too much on them and not enough on the other recurring chracters in the series. "

— Mónica, 10/18/2013" Jaci made me buy this book as a joke and it was a good read but a bit dirty. I dont mind sex scenes in books but the ones in this book were rather graphic for my taste. Still a good story. "
— Kellee, 9/26/2013" Cool addition to the IAD world, but not as good as the previous book or the following book. Still, Mari was a wonderful character (Kresley Cole writes great arsekicking ladies!) and once Bowen got over his moaning about his lost love, he was great too. "
