Ilona came to Cutwood to escape control, but one encounter with Larz, a mysterious, tattooed, split-tongued scorpion‑shifter woman forces her to face an impossible decision she never thought she would have to make: surrender to a claiming that binds her forever, or risk losing the only love strong enough to fight the shadows of her past.
