She came for a story. She found her fate. Investigative journalist Nyx Carver has spent four months building an airtight case against billionaire Kael Thornwright. His land acquisitions don't add up. Twelve people have gone missing near his properties. Something about his empire reeks of corruption. One photograph from a Brooklyn fire escape. Three seconds of eye contact. Everything changes. Kael Thornwright isn't human. The world Nyx thought she knew-the one built on facts and evidence-doesn't exist. And the supernatural world he's been hiding has laws of its own. Laws that say she knows too much to live. Unless he claims her as his mate. But Nyx doesn't do destiny. She has missing persons to find and a conspiracy to expose. She won't let biology-or one impossibly compelling Alpha-dictate her future. No matter how right he feels. No matter what her instincts are screaming. Then the magic wakes up. Nyx isn't human either. She's carrying something ancient. Something powerful. Something that makes her far more dangerous to his world than a journalist with questions ever could be. Now an ancient prophecy has her name on it. The supernatural world says she must choose: the mate bond that's burning through her defenses, or the power that could save thousands. Love or salvation. She can't have both. Good thing Nyx has built a career on proving the impossible.
