Guardian's Bond

Book excerpt: For decades, he’s been alone. Now, she’s here. His fated mate. His to win. To protect. To provide for and pleasure. Betrayed by his own brother and forced to watch his clan’s brutal annihilation, Priest Rahandras has lived with the darkness trapped inside him for years. He longs to escape the curse that haunts him as both man and beast, but as long as he’s bound, rebuilding his clan is an impossible dream. Until the mate he’s longed for walks into his life. She’s everything he’s wished for, and the key to the clan’s very survival. Kateri Falsen is a woman of logic and facts. While Priest can sense her arousal, telling her they’re fated won’t be enough. He’ll have to show her his love: with his words, with his actions, and with his body. Protecting Kateri from the evil trapped inside him is paramount. But when lost clan members are systematically murdered, he’ll have to choose between exposing his mate to his black magic, or risking her as the next victim. Don’t miss the second book in the Ancient Ink series, Healer’s Need.
