Publisher's Synopsis
Kladuu is a planet full of shape-shifting clans. It's also the best-kept secret from the clans' greatest enemy: Humans. Vera is the sole female engineer in her department aboard the Zynthar International Space Station. Fighting against sexist prejudices is the only battle Vera has known until a band of rogue aliens attack the space station, taking her and a group of women hostage. It's a battle between life and death when Vera and the women are forced into servitude on an unknown planet full of shape-shifting alien wolves called Vilkas. Vera will do anything to escape, but the Vilka she works for is protective and loyal ... and far too attractive. Rayner is Beta of Clan Vilka on Kladuu. It's a position he puts before all other aspects of his life, including love. But the more he gets to know his beautiful human servant, the more he recognizes the flaws in his clan's way of life. Amidst the stirrings of a servant uprising, another serious threat lurks in the shadows, waiting to destroy all Rayner holds dear-including Vera. When Rayner's duties to his clan and his Alpha fall in direct opposition to protecting Vera-to protecting his mate-he will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Even if the cost is betraying his people. Even if the cost is his life.
