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 barely slept, seeing as a wildly drunk Zane had been stumbling about outside her open window for most of the evening. She tried to block out the muttering, then the falling over several times before finally, he collapsed on the porch, where he called her name over and over again with what varied between intense longing and snarky antics. He wanted her attention. The idiot.  


It almost killed her not to go to him, to either scream at him or shut him up with a passionate kiss. But she refused. After she bared her heart to him and offered up a truce, a real chance at something between them, he threw it all back in her face so she walked away without a second glance.
