*New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh takes us into the dangerously sensual world of the genetically altered Breeds–and the humans who fill them with insatiable desire…* He always knew he would betray her… Anya Kobrin was only sixteen when she first came to Del-Rey Delgado–the genetically altered rebel known as the Coyote Ghost. For six years they plotted to free a group of Coyote women kept in Anya’s father’s lab. As Anya matured into a woman, she and Del-Rey grew close…but on the day of the ambush, he broke his promise and shot her father. Filled with rage over the betrayal, Anya discovers an even stronger emotion is consuming her mind and body–the animalistic desire known as mating heat. Though Del-Rey feels it with the same intensity, Anya questions whether she can forgive him or trust him again. As they stealthily maneuver to bring the freed Breeds to safety, one question reigns supreme: Can Anya and Del-Rey survive their own heat?
