Andaric Son of Braga escapes his execution and goes on a search for his older brother, only to learn that Valamir’s been sent 1500 years into the future by the scheming Druid priestess who’s obsessed with them both. When Andaric manages to find a way to follow his brother, he arrives in the year 2018 sopping wet, cold, and confused, and stumbles upon the mangled body of a dead woman on the beach. The guards of the city take him captive despite his best efforts to fight them off, and Andaric finds himself locked in a strange metal prison, enraged and determined to escape.
But when the stunning green-eyed queen of this strange new land comes with her guards to greet him personally, he can see that she not only has the luscious curves he craves, but an intelligent mind and a gentle, kind heart. Andaric doesn't speak her language, so he can only pray he finds a way to convince her he’s innocent of the beach slaying, and more than that, if she’d set him free, he’d gladly help her protect her hold, defend her immense kingdom, and inflame her nights with passion for the rest of her days.
Kaiya Martinez has just landed her dream job as criminal psychologist for the Huntington Beach Police Department due to her renowned “sixth sense” in evaluating criminal minds. When a huge, aggressive suspect is apprehended on the beach near the body of the latest victim in the Meadowlark Killer case, Kaiya’s job is to assess his psychological state and submit a professional opinion as to whether this wildman is a cold-blooded murderer or not. Only problem is, he’s hotter than hell, and she isn’t sure if that fact is clouding her judgment when she senses deep in her gut he’s innocent. He’s rough, destructive, and hostile, but not a serial killer—and around her, he’s almost charming.
Tell that to the chief of police and her skeptical partner, and to every law enforcement officer who’s come into contact with the violent beast. Kaiya’s desperate to help Andaric prove his innocence, but her job is on the line, and without it she would lose police protection from the Latino gang hitmen looking to take revenge on her for putting their druglord leader behind bars. Truth is, she’d love nothing more than take Andaric home with her and have her own personal Bad-Boy Bodyguard. Can she find a way to truly understand the gorgeous amber-eyed giant, ignore her growing crush on him, and convince her boss he’s not the Meadowlark Killer, before he really does kill someone trying to escape?
