Captured in a government raid, Ella is thrown into a prison transport bound for the mountain labor camps. She never expects her rescue to come at the hands of Raze, the handsome sky warrior who all but stole her heart after Dizzy's wedding. Considered a high-value asset by the Shadow Force, Ella is given to an arrogant brute of a pilot for safekeeping-and collaring. After his disastrous first marriage, Raze swore off women, but Ella tempts him to break that vow. When he sees her being treated roughly by an unworthy man, his control shatters. One sucker punch later, he tosses Ella over his shoulder and steals her away. He wants to keep her, to collar and love her-but there's a shameful secret in his past that shatters any chance of a happy future. But Raze isn't the only one with a complicated past. Ella has secrets of her own-and they're about to threaten the safety of everyone she loves. She'll have to go back to where it all started, risking her life and her future with Raze-to end it once and for all.
