Of all of the warriors in the Nightfury pack, none is more complicated
or more damaged than Wick. Emotionally scarred from a childhood of
slavery and torture, Wick can barely stand the touch of another person.
But all bets are off when he meets newcomer J.J. Solares. When J.J. is
unjustly imprisoned, Wick agrees to help rescue and return her to the
family fold. But Wick lives a life of self-imposed isolation, even among
his beloved brothers in arms. Venturing into the world to seek justice
for J.J. may be more than he can bear.
Meanwhile J.J. fights for her life at the hands of brutal prison guard
Griggs. When she winds up in the hospital she sees no hope for things
getting better. But events take a dramatic turn when she and Wick
encounter each other. The connection they share is unlike anything
either has felt before. J.J. believes she is hallucinating when she sees
the majestic dark-haired god sweep in to save her, and Wick is shaken to
his core by the attraction he feels for J.J. For the first time in his
life, he finds himself wanting to get close to a woman.
After J.J.'s rescue, the two retire to Wick's mountain home, where J.J.
recovers from physical injury while attempting to help Wick recover from
his emotional ones. But neither is out of harm's way yet. And when they
find themselves in the center of a Dragonkind war, they are forced to
make the ultimate choice between surrendering to their fears or each
other's love.
