A book in the Fallon Mates series
Laith d'Amato never thought to form a mate-bond outside his race, but when he sees Cyan Dupre, the human female the scientists on Belizair have matched him to, he's more than willing to claim her. Exquisite. Feminine. Intoxicating. Dreams of sharing her with Rykken d'Vesti become a vision of certainty for Laith. Only by including Rykken in the mate-bond will there be hope for Belizair. One look at Cyan and the mating fever of his race swamps Rykken. Without the wings of the Vesti and Amato she seems fragile, in need of a strong male to care for her. It's not the Vesti way, but for the sake of friendship and the future of Belizair, Rykken will fight his genetic imperative and cultural upbringing. He'll join with Laith in the first sharing of a human female. Lethal grace and poetic beauty, Cyan finds it impossible to resist Laith and Rykken. They're erotic fantasy and artistic inspiration—but loving them comes with a choice between doing what's right for her heart or what's right for her art.
