Jude Black was the deadliest Therian operative in North America . . . until his path collided with an enemy with golden eyes and a body that clouded his thinking.

Shapeshifter Jude Black, level six operative for the Therian Senate and their deadliest weapon, has served his superiors for ten years without question. He was raised to believe his job is one of the highest, most honorable occupations in the realm. Killing is what he does, and having each mission wiped from his memory is a non-issue . . . until his brother Garrett goes missing.

When it appears that the Senate's only concern is to make him forget the whereabouts of his only brother, Jude begins to question his loyalties. Then he meets the beautiful, hazel-eyed Letitia Hawkes, and his loyalty is put to the ultimate test. She is a werewolf, one of his race's sworn enemies. But she's being used by Eideroche Medical, the same people who made his brother disappear.

Jude's convinced Letitia is the key to the answers he desperately needs to find his brother. At least that's what he tells himself as he teams up with her to find out just what Eideroche is up to. But soon, Jude finds himself in the deadliest battle of his life. Because he's falling in love with Letitia. But by doing so, he might just be guaranteeing her death . . .
