The first-time water monster shifter, Ramsey Somerset, met his fated mate, the little vampire ninja bit him without even a hello.

Ramsey Somerset's control is slipping. As a water monster he's always in danger of giving into his beast. When he meets his fated mate, it gets even more dangerous.

Fane Tiago is feral. Sold into captivity and becoming a science experiment has left him shattered. Finding out his fated mate is less than willing to help him pick up the pieces means he's more alone than ever.

War with the vampires hangs over Ramsey. But behind Fane's feral mind lurks a vampire who is more than he seems.

Contains mature themes.
