A Warrior's Nightmare

Jessica is excited about starting college in the fall, already enrolled at the University of Oregon. Every year before school starts, she and her father spend a week camping, but this year is special, because her best friends go with them. She has no way to know they will all be walking into a nightmare straight out of a horror movie.

Eighteen years before, Jessica's mother died under mysterious circumstances right after giving birth to her. Her dad refuses to talk about it, though his eyes grow haunted every time the subject comes up. All Jessica knows is that it was a violent death. Her answers will come from a stranger, one who knows far more than he should.

Nethaniel is a Lycaeonian from the planet Laizahlia, a wolf shapeshifter. He is taking his first trip off world with his father when he runs across Jessica flyfishing at a lake. Though it shouldn't be possible, he recognizes her immediately as his fated mate. Unfortunately, Nethaniel's father has enemies, and three have followed them to Earth, vengeance on their minds. Jessica and her friends are considered little more than collateral damage.
