Burning for the Beast by Nara Jade
The realms of immortals are on the brink of collapse. The human woman who is the key to their survival finds herself at the mercy of the king of the Fenrir, a dangerous and powerful man who seeks to use her for himself… and ignites a burning passion within her.
Ulric McCallen will stop at nothing to undo the decades-long curse that threatens the existence of his clan. He finds the solution in an unlikely source — a wee little human of ethereal beauty and fiery spirit. He hungers to possess her, but the same curse that binds his world has marked her for death. The king of beasts must somehow protect Evaline from the dark forces that hunt her, while saving his people from certain destruction.
Evaline Headen is making a last-ditch effort to save herself from a mysterious illness by going to see a witch. Instead of a cure, she finds herself falling straight into danger, and into the arms of a tall, handsome highlander… with big teeth, and deadly claws. She has no choice but to rely on Ulric as she tries to unravel the secrets of her condition and her past. But the truth can bring their hearts together, or be the undoing of them both.

What happens when she arrives is a strange and passionate meeting of the minds between herself and Declan. Playing on each other’s strengths, they maneuver around those who attempt to prevent the marriage as a play for power. However, Declan’s past affiliations with the King are not welcome by all, and the challenges to their marriage become the least of their worries.
Can Declan and Elayne trust each other enough to face the threats to the MacCollough clan and their very lives?
