A lot goes on between the pages of this short story as two otherworldly creatures, whose secrets tore them apart before, reunite while others try to keep them apart in a bloody and action-packed series of events that leads to an all out frenzied conclusion.  Angelique comes from an ancient group who carry their Familiars on their skin and who have struggled to keep their secrets after being hunted to near extinction.  These secrets led her to abandon the love of her life but after a year apart he's back.  Connor has secrets of his own as he's a werewolf who's been commanded to find a Mate which leads him back to Angelique, the only woman he wants.  Both of them were kept apart because of secrets and fears that the other wouldn't accept them for their uniqueness.  These secrets have put them both in jeopardy though as Connor's crazy ex-girlfriend unleashes a Hunter to permanently get rid of Angelique which puts Connor in danger as he has to fight to save her.The sexual tension between Angelique and Connor is palpable with their two sexual interludes being super steamy.  In comparison, the action scenes are heartpounding and keep you on the edge of your seat. This brief glimpse into this world is intriguing and the journey from a couple's rocky start to their HEA keeps you eagerly turning the pages as a series of life or death situations arise.From its likable characters to steamy and satisfying sexual interludes this was a story easy to immerse yourself in.  Though the crazy ex-girlfriend was stereotypical she still put into play a series of frenetic events that brought the h/h together.  This small package showed of Ms. Makela's pleasant writing style and I'm definitely looking forward to her work in longer form.
