Talon Marshall enjoys living in solitude, which confirms that he doesn't have any plans to find a life mate like the rest of his family. His lodge is located near a dense forest and flowing river, a perfect backdrop for his job as a nature guide and for the wolf within him. As he roams his land, a storm rolls through the area with extreme lightening cracking during the night. The intensity and power bring down a cluster of trees, and he finds a woman trapped under a large fallen tree trunk. His first reaction to the strange woman is to help her get free; his second reaction is more primal and permanent, which he fully intends to resist with every fiber of his being. Yet something is off, so he is reluctant to let her go until he figures it out.

Kenna Thomas is not from the same universe as her handsome hero, but she can't tell him that. In fact, her life is no longer her own; it belongs to Vandar, a creature who invaded her city taking her and many others as slaves to do his bidding. He uses his talents and their fear to force them to complete certain tasks, which is why she is currently trapped by a tree and getting rescued by a handsome man. Her task is to collect as much proof and data regarding this earth side of the parallel universe to prepare for an invasion. Unfortunately, this task goes against who she is; lying doesn't come easy to her and telling untruths to this man feels like she is betraying herself. She must focus; the danger is very real, so her only hope is to find a way to escape Vandar's hold on her.
