description: Amidst the roar of the inferno, two things became clear:
   He was my mate.
   And he was about to die.
  
   - Rhys -
   I’d always known I would find my mate someday.
   I didn’t expect him to be dying.
   By the time I pull him out of the burning building his life hangs on by a thread. He is a human, delicate and damaged, yet all I can think about is the need to fill him with my fire and claim him for my own.
   I need him like I need air.
   My fire would burn him to ash.
  
  
  I wanted his fire to obliterate me.
  
   - Theodore -
   He hits me like a semi I never see coming.
   The night my boyfriend walks out on me I fall asleep alone; I wake in the midst of an inferno with my apartment burning down around my ears…and see HIM.
   Eyes like molten metal. Skin the flames do not burn. A connection I can’t ignore.
   I can’t look away from him.
   He’s not human.
   And our mating will change my life forever.
