The internationally bestselling Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole returns with a scorching enemies-to-lovers romance between a jaded werewolf and a powerful young witch—now with a stunning new cover.

After he lost the love of his life, Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan's heart turned cold. Until an unexpected encounter with Mariketa the Awaited, an infuriatingly beautiful young witch, reawakens his desires. Considering his history with Mari and his known hatred for witches, Bowen should have been pleased when dark forces united against her. But when he discovers how vulnerable she truly is, Bowen finds himself using all of his strength to keep her alive.

Mari can't control the power she possesses, but evil forces are after her, and she needs a Protector—even if it is Bowen MacRieve. Soon enough, passion burns between them, and Bowen realises he wants Mari to be his own. Will she withstand his wicked seduction or surrender her body and heart to the fierce warrior who protects her?
