A cursed prince can’t claim a mate. Yet, Zark's blood sings for the human woman with a collar around her throat. Miranda is everything he dream of in a mate, but she can never be his. A stupid act of misplaced nobility will see him dead in a matter of weeks. Even if he breaks the curse, the galaxy is still on the edge of war. Zark has a duty to find a traitor and stop the oncoming violence, but how can he do that when the only thing he wants is his mate in his bed? It’s no time to fall in love, yet Zark can’t resist stealing his woman away from her captors and keeping her close.
