Publisher's Synopsis
Sparks fly and trouble happens when an original Guardian meets up with a woman of special blood. Shadow is one of three original Guardians left. When he discovers an encrypted code while searching for clues about another Guardian-he learns of Noble-bred females being taken and disappearing, never to be seen again. He decides it's time to put a stop to it. Janecka Ashford was born different than any other bloodmate, which causes a big problem in a world where bonds between a man and woman are arranged. Because of her unique blood, she should've been put to death after birth, but her mother managed to save her. Asking for help from the one man who helped her before is the only thing that can save her life, but who can save her from the instant attraction to this man-Shadow-a Guardian? Shadow never thought he'd bond with anyone, but as Shadow's love for Janecka grows, he's compelled to deal with changes in his own life, but also with one particular threat-a man bent on taking Janecka's life.
