Ten years ago, a searing affair nearly derailed Tomas Dalmau's budding career. Now Rana, the winter elemental who robbed him of more than his innocence, has struck again. As a sentinel, charged with keeping order in the paranormal world, Tomas knows his witchcraft can't touch Rana. He asks for the case anyway. Why? Because he has a weapon the other sentinels don't have. And he is bound and determined to take back what she stripped away the first time they met. The only problem is--desire doesn't die. No matter how cynical you are.
