When she crawled under a fence in search of her wayward dog, Calliope Quinn stumbled upon the most top-secret military base in the country. There, she was shocked to encounter Sylas, a genetic hybrid struggling to control his powerful mating urges.

Calliope

Sylas may have horns and hooves, but underneath it all, he's the kindest, most caring man I've ever met.

Sharing a bed while he manages his raging rut is a temptation almost too great to resist—for both of us.

Because I know his dangerous secret, he says I can't leave. I should want to escape this impossible situation, but how do I flee after I've spent time with the kindest, hottest, “horniest” male on the planet?

Sylas

If the Army finds out Calliope innocently discovered our secret, they'll put her in the brig for years.

Although she's safer with me, the last thing I want is to be Calliope's jailor—she's the most enchanting, eccentric, and sensuous woman in the world.

We're living on borrowed time, and when the Army finds out, I'll lose the alluring woman I'm head over hooves in love with.
