One bite can change you. And one kiss can change your destiny... Nadya Dalca has been handed a death sentence. She's been bitten by the last living genetically enhanced werewolf-part of the Nero Organization's disastrous Moonlight project. With the poisonous blood now coursing through her system and pushing her to the limits, it is only a matter of time before Nadya's fate is sealed... Gareth Takoda told himself he couldn't get involved. Caught up in a maelstrom of grief and bitterness, he has been isolating himself from his Pack. But when he is charged with watching over Nadya's first transformation-or bear witness should it go horribly wrong-Gareth is torn further by unwanted desire and the need to protect what is his. One kiss changes everything. One shattering, all-consuming kiss. And with it, Nadya and Gareth face either salvation...or death.
