A determined shifter. A protective mother. And a happily ever after...if they can survive long enough to claim their forever love. After five centuries, Rafe Alexander knows what to expect from life—boredom, broken by the occasional call from Shifter Affairs. No matter what the job, he always accepts their plea for help.

Rafe must figure out what she knows, but his interest in Jasmine goes far beyond the case. She's his true mate. But after the horrors she's seen, she doesn't trust shifters. That won't stop him. Neither will the killer targeting her family. Nobody...
