The attraction between them is instant—but is love and patience enough to overcome the hurt of the past?
Rescued from the torment and abuse of his vampire captors, Alex Childress sought salvation in a place called Salutem. But the horror he’d endured and the sights he’d witnessed caused nightmares that didn’t fade in the morning light.
There were days when Alex questioned whether he should have been saved at all, but here he was, slowly recovering and trying to move forward. Getting through each day, one at a time.
Cyan Dubois loved Salutem and everything it represented: safety. A sanctuary where shifters could live their lives without fear and just be. But there was one thing missing: his mate. When Cyan meets Alex he recognises his mate right away but he needs to be patient, Alex is far from ready, he’s got a long road of recovery before he can heal from the wounds of his past and accept Cyan as his mate, and all that it entails.
Can he wait for Alex to move past his fear or is their relationship doomed before it’s begun?
