Dr. Alexis Byornsson is furious when her patient's blond god of an uncle blows into the exam room while she's stitching up his five-year-old niece. Not that anyone would notice. She's worked hard for her control, and her efforts have earned her the name of Dr. Frozen.

Luke Steel never knew a woman chastising him could be...sexy. But for the first time in three hundred years, passion stirs-along with panic. Since his wife was taken before his eyes in a brutal attack, he's sworn he'd never feel that powerless again.

Before Luke or Alexis realize what's happening, they're sharing a blazing kiss that shatters her logical armor and frozen exterior and unleashes his wholly unwanted mating instinct. And spurs a dangerous enemy to put into motion a devastating plan for revenge.
