Joshua Elisaie's life spins on a crash course when he saves a sassy whiskey-eyed waitress from a drive-by shooting. Turns out, Kenzie Baines is more than his good deed for the night she is Joshua's amati. Which, in Kaspian terms, means that Kenzie is Joshua's immortal mate.
Not that it will be smooth sailing for the two shapechanging blood tigers. Joshua's past is cloaked in shadows, and Kenzie has already learned just how unreliable an immortal's promises of "forever" can be. She is determined not to fall for those promises again, not even when it is the handsome Joshua Elisaie making them to her.
But more is afoot in Boston than a stubborn romance: the local Gens has vanished, and it is Joshua's job to find them. Which means that Joshua will be digging through Kenzie's past. As Kenzie reluctantly helps, she begins to realize that there just might be more to Joshua's promises of "forever" than the desire for a one-night stand. And Joshua comes to realize that Kenzie isn't just his long-awaited amati.
No, Kenzie just might be the light of his far-too-lonely life.
