Paranormal Security and Intelligence operative and lion-shifter Malik "Tut" Nasser's past is about to catch up to the ancient Egyptian. 

When he agreed to help test a drug that could help supernaturals with control issues, he never thought it would have the opposite effect on him. So when he finds himself fighting the urge to lay claim to a human woman, he's far from prepared for what happens next. 

Winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Egypt felt like a dream come true for Brooke Larner. Everything in her life is lining up perfectly - even the handsome new man she's found herself attracted to. Before long she's handing over more than just her heart, thinking it just might be for keeps. When it doesn't go as planned, Brooke finds herself running right into the hands of madmen bent on creating super-soldiers. And she soon realizes that creatures from stories and nightmares are altogether too real. 

After five years of searching for Brooke, Malik has finally reached his breaking point. Already the obsession to find her left him shifting into a lion in a very public place before being forced on mandatory leave. Still, he can't get her out his mind. The suppression drugs have been out of his system for years. The burning desire for Brooke should have gone with them. 

It didn't.

So when chance leaves their paths crossing once more, he realizes destiny is at play. The only problem is, she doesn't trust him and she has a secret she's willing to die to protect. 

As demons from their past resurface, they find themselves in a battle to save everything they hold dear.
