Quinn's Quest — N.J. Walters

He can give her anything and everything she needs -- except a future.

Kidnapped and held in a crazy doctor's underground laboratory, Bethany Morris only manages to escape because Chrissten, one of her fellow abductees, creates an opportunity -- by shifting into a werewolf.

Bethany's desperate for help, but who'll believe her story? The police? That'll just buy her a one-way ticket to a padded room -- because here's the kicker: she's discovered she's a half-breed werewolf. Her only hope is to find Chrissten's brother.

Quinn Lawton's long, grinding search for his missing twin has turned up nothing…until Bethany rekindles his hope. Something else catches flame too -- her heat cycle and a searing attraction branded with the word mate. Yet with so much blood on his hands, any future he might offer is already tainted beyond redemption.

Desperate for Quinn's touch alone, Bethany has no choice but to take Quinn up on his offer to quell her terrifying need, no strings attached. And hope that as the search for Chrissten intensifies, the battle with their personal demons doesn't destroy their razor-thin chance at forever.
