But can it survive a Kensington Board of Directors who believe Colt is nothing but a gold digger and a kidnapper determined to profit from the love of Mal’s life—dead or alive?

But Wynn is different, recruited at a young age, he’s always known his purpose, to eliminate the worst of the worst.

He’s positive that he’s never known an alpha like Magnus, but if his name has shown up on Wynn’s list then he must be evil. To think otherwise is to doubt his life’s devotion.

But his questions don’t stop him from realizing Wynn isn’t just the bravest man he knows, he’s also his mate.
