Zane is cursed. A magical creature trapped in the body of a human man. As hard as he tries to hate mortals, he cannot deny that he feels a strange connection to a certain woman…
Sera has been alone her entire life. She is a young social worker who spends her days attempting to heal her broken city. She is destined to an arranged marriage, a life and social status she cannot seem to fit into. Lonny, her fiancé, who has just been released from prison, is hoping to win Sera's heart back, despite all the pain he caused her.
Zane is bitter, jaded, and has given up on finding his way back to himself. Until Sera, the only one who can see Zane's true form, stumbles into his life.
When Sera pledges to help Zane break his curse, the two are plunged into a dangerous, fantastical adventure that will teach them the sacrifice of self-acceptance, the heartache of true love, and what it ultimately means…to be human.

Confinement

Sera moaned with pleasure as the cool water ran over her skin. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt clean. As much as she tried to focus on the task at hand, her thoughts couldn’t help but wander back to Zane and their little battle that morning. She felt her skin flush as she remembered the physical closeness of him and her desire to stay in his arms. The tension between them was becoming so thick, she was burning up in flames just at the very thought of him. His words still rung in her ears, ‘Coward. Scared little girl.’ 


Sera frowned, she was neither. Maybe it was time to show him just exactly how brave she really was. Though their session ended without her exuding one ounce of magical power, it hadn’t been unproductive.
