The danger to vampires and shapeshifters continue to grow as a powerful enemy sets their sights on seizing control of the born vampire territory. Aided by strangers from a distant land, they are ready to strike. First, they must help their new allies capture a woman by the name of Winter who can control the elements of nature. Distant and cold, Winter lives a solitary life, only vaguely resembling the passionate girl of her youth. In the blink of an eye, Winter's world changes. With no memory of who she is, she is able to discover who she was always meant to be. In the arms of a cougar shapeshifter, who calls her Winn and claims to be her mate, she rediscovers the passion she worked hard to bury. Unfortunately, Winter is also unable to recognize the danger stalking her. Will this new untamed Winter be the destruction or salvation of the leader of the cougar shifters? Cord let his one true mate walk away over a century ago, a mistake he has regretted since that day. When fate puts Winn in his path again, Cord can't believe his luck. Even better, she doesn't remember why they cannot be together. Now that his mate is with him again, Cord will do everything in his power to bind her to him and prove they belong together. He will also go to any lengths to protect her from the enemy determined to use her in their bid for power. Can he protect Winn from her enemies without risking the lives of his clan?
