Love was never part of the mission. But neither was meeting his fated mate. As part of Dallas SWAT, the elite Special Wolf Alpha Team, Connor Malone lives by the rules. Half-shifter, half-cop, he's trained to follow orders, protect his pack, and keep civilians out of supernatural crossfire. But when a rescue mission collides with a woman wrapped in secrets and magic, Connor's instincts go rogue. Because the moment he lays eyes on Kat Davenport, he knows exactly what she is to him: The One. Kat has been running for years—from the warlock who cursed her, from a magical world that turned its back on her, and from the terrifying truth of what she really is. Trust doesn't come easy—especially when it comes to werewolves. But something about Connor calms the chaos inside her. Something real. Something dangerous. Because accepting his help means accepting a fate she never asked for—and a connection that could unravel everything. As dark forces close in and a centuries-old grudge ignites, Kat and Connor must rely on each other to survive. But in a city crawling with witches, warlocks, and rival shifters, neither of them can afford to lose. With a powerful heroine, a fiercely protective alpha, and a magical twist that's left readers buzzing, this entry in Paige Tyler's SWAT series is equal parts danger and desire.
