How do you find your soul mate if you're born without a soul? Deva Rainsong is a chimera, a mixed breed of all four higher races, bred in a lab by the dragons' mortal enemy. She was meant to be a vessel to house the enemy's soul, but with the enemy dead in the recent war, Deva is left unclaimed - without a soul of her own and with a deep, cold longing for a love she doesn't think Fate will ever offer.

But when the six of them embark on a mission to uncover the secrets of a pack of rogue Fate hounds, Deva learns that Fate's reach is not boundless, and that she may have more...

Three years ago, J.J. Santos, Jr. got himself killed—at least that's what it said on paper. The DEA resurrected me as Mason Black, forcing me to leave behind everyone I've ever card about, including an angel in blue scrubs I can't seem to get out of my head. Her name is Dr. Callie Nicolo, and when our paths cross again, I'm in more danger than ever before. But I'm not about to leave her behind this time. Not even if it compromises my identity and my mission. I'm the kind of man who wants it all. I'll find a way to pacify the warring cartels on my tail and make up for lost time with the woman of my dreams. Most importantly, I'll protect what's mine—the doc who saved my life in more ways than one, and the little girl waiting for me back in Mexico.
