At least, that's where she thinks he's going . . .


 


In the safety of the woods, Jethro's power seems to surge, almost as if the trees and boulders of the forest rise up to greet him. He's so different, so beautiful, so . . . inhuman. Before long, Jethro becomes Nicoletta's obsession. And while the truth about his nature is terrifying, Nicoletta may already be in too deep.
