For many centuries Silvestri has survived on this Earth, adding his child Katharine, who was made hundreds of years ago, but now Silvestri feels it is time for Katharine to have a mate and form a permanent bond of her own.

At one time Jared Aquino was one of Katharine’s pets and lived for her touch or her domination.  But Jared left without Katharine’s consent and now he’s back, years later having learned many hard lessons. He has come back to be her equal.

Jared has many surprises for the woman he has never forgotten and he knows it will be an uphill battle to win the prickly Katharine as his own because she doesn’t want a mate beneath, above, or most especially beside her.
