"We do this together."
She's a vixen on a mission determined to prove her worth. He's a reserved guardian in need of his mate, not a seductive fling.
Unhealed hurts and unspoken misunderstandings have wedged a gulf between them. Now, she's in Alice, Texas while he's in Atlanta, Georgia. They've suffered so many false starts that this mating is in jeopardy of going off the rails.
Will they lose out on the one chance to walk the mated journey of a lifetime together?
Life-crisis is just a word until it sets up residence in yours.
Zia Carter is at a crossroads in life. Almost dying after being kidnapped by an alien-dinosaur-bird shifter, everything she's known and believed has been turned on its head. She has always had a firm grasp on life, until now.
After what she's been through, it's going to take more than a hot guy like Greg Griffin's looks and far too calm ways to ever trust any man again.
Zia's on a new mission to get her mojo back. She needs outward, deliberate shows of attraction and affection; not the stately quiet of a gorgeous golden giant.
Slow and steady win the race until they interfere with your mating.
Gregori (Greg) Griffin has subdued his beast nature all his life. As the eldest brother of four Gryphon Guardian Warriors and second-in-command of the Dragofin Clan, he's the wise, calm cohesion of the group.
Since the mating thrall has started, each passing day Zia stays away renders him weaker. There's a more significant problem, though. She's not capable of handling what a mating requires—yet.
Greg needs and wants his mate. His patience forbids him from usurping her control. Zia has a long recovery ahead. Does he have enough time left to win his mate and regain his power before the final nails in both their mating and his coffin seal his fatal end?
Join Zia and Greg on their journey of discovery, adventure, and impossible odds.
