Sin — Cherie Denis

Sin isn't the bad boy his name implies, but when he is near sexy, young Em, he has a hard time controlling his body. She makes him feel very sinful. His problem with Em is she is not quite mating age, and her father would kill him if he catches the two together. Soon, a volcanic eruption sends the clan running for their lives. With death threatening, Sin takes advantage of Em's father's distraction one night to mate with a more-than-willing Em. When Em's father finds out they've mated, he beats her. Sin rescues Em, throws her father to the ground and claims her for life. The eruption kills most of the clan, but Sin has found a high cave with a route through the mountain to a new valley. He leads Em, his best friend, Let, and Let's mate, Ria, to safety where they begin a new life.
