It hurt to survive death, and it left him emotionally and physically damaged. He covers those wounds like a protective mask. He’s not seekingĀ a mate as part of The Program, especially since playing with human girls has turned into more hassle than it’s worth. However, despite Lance’s conceit, Amber finds herself drawn to him when she joins The Program in the hopes of finding her soul mate. Can they put their differences aside and fall in love? This stand-alone book is meant for readers who are at least eighteen years old and contains strong sexual themes and language.
