Wade Hamilton is an ex-Army Ranger with blood on his hands-and something far worse in his veins. Born into a Guardian bloodline, he's spent his life running from a power he refuses to claim.
Until Tori walks into his tattoo studio.
Quiet, guarded, and impossible to ignore, she carries something he can't explain-but instinctively needs. Against his better judgment, Wade marks her with a trace of forbidden magic, binding their fates in ways he doesn't understand.
Months later, a call brings him to Savannah, where his best friend's sister is recovering from a near-fatal hit-and-run.
Tori.
As Wade's buried past claws to the surface, he realizes the danger was never her-it's him. The power in his bloodline is waking, dragging him toward a destiny built on control and destruction.
And Tori may be the only thing standing in its way.
Because if Wade loses the fight for his destiny, he won't just lose the woman he loves-he'll lose his soul.
