Shifters and Witches in Rome.... Oh my! Good kings make the rules. Great kings rise above them. The King of the Ursa Clan never takes a holiday. But for the first time in almost a decade, Gavriil Alexeev allows himself some respite. The powerful warlock bear shifter flees from the tragedies that haunt him and seeks refuge in Rome. Little does he know he'll come across his fated mate. She's not a shifter, nor a witch. And as the king, his clan will take no other match, especially not one that unleashes an unprecedented feud between vampires and bear shifters. Good things come to those who wait. Great things come to those who chase them. Luciana Marino is ready to pack her heart along with the many antiques she sells in her shop near the Villa Borghese. Not even hunky runway model, Trent, has been able to make her fall head over heels. But when Gavriil Alexeev enters the picture, all of her certainties are shaken. And before Luciana realizes it, magic, danger, and true love wrap her in an unstoppable whirlwind. Prepare for a spellbinding journey where passion and magic unite, and where true love proves its strength against all odds.
