Wolf and Flame
They were never meant to find each other. Javier Garcia is a guardian; one of the wolves sworn to protect those who cross the desert under the cover of darkness. He knows the rules. Protect the vulnerable. Stay hidden. Never get involved. Then he catches her scent. Maeve Callahan isn't a migrant. She isn't supposed to be here. And there's something burning beneath her skin-something ancient, something dangerous... something Javier doesn't understand but can't stay away from. When a forgotten force known only as the Devourer begins to stir, the fragile balance between worlds starts to unravel. Corruption spreads. The Ashborn rise. And Maeve may be the key to stopping it all... if her power doesn't destroy her first. But wolves don't choose their fate. They recognize it. And Javier is about to realize that protecting Maeve might mean losing everything, including himself. A dark paranormal romance about fate, fire, and the things that hunt us in the shadows.
