Book four in the Unveiled Seductions series.
Cassandra Solinar has a bucket list and jaguar god Xbal Montegro is on it. About to undergo an essential rite she won't survive, she wants to wring every ounce of pleasure out of the time left. Including discovering if Xbal's sex magic technique is as good as rumored.
It's no hardship for Xbal to accept Cassandra's invitation for one erotic encounter, but far more difficult to let her go once he gets a taste of the explosive passion between them. Now he's determined to hold on to her, no matter what.
Cassie can't tell Xbal the truth about what she's about to do. It's illegal, but without her death the entire world will perish. It's a job she's been preparing for from birth, but the loss will be greater now. For in Xbal she finds a soul-deep connection she doesn't want to lose, and the one thing she made a point of not putting on her bucket list -- love.
