Kira first meets Lucas in a shared erotic dream but she has a feeling that he's more than just a figment of her imagination. Using her psychic gifts and military training, Kira finds and helps Lucas escape imprisonment from an unknown captor. Escaping is made more challenging when it becomes apparent that they're destined mates and more than Lucas' shifter clan laws threaten to keep them apart. Kira and Lucas must put aside their mistrust in one another and embrace the mating call in order to survive an enemy they can't escape.Lucas' cougar wants to lay claim on Kira despite clan laws stating no mating outside of the clan in permitted. Kira is fighting a battle against her psychic abilities. If she doesn't take a mate, she will go crazy and be destroyed. Both are fiercely independent and dominate people. Kira's refusal to simply submit to Lucas brought about some very steamy, melt off the page scenes between them. One thing I didn't care for was how each person went back and forth on if they really wanted to be bonded or not. I also felt that the plot was sort of interesting but it never really took off. Lucas is a quick, very sexy paranormal romance read and I'm looking forward to starting Kane's (Lucas' brother) book next.
