Chain of Fate: Book Two Lynx shifter Trace Wilson's fun-loving exterior hides a heart scarred by severe domestic violence—a heart that might not ever trust another male, fated mate or not. When Trace moves to Seattle to take his place as trainer and council representative to the Glacier Rim Tribe, he discovers his mate is the vampire prince Sasha Tolstoi, leader of the Konstantin Coven. It's not something Trace is ready to accept. Not now, maybe not ever. But if there's one thing Sasha knows how to do, it's how to be patient, especially when his fated heart is also his perfect sub. When an outside force threatens the fragile bond slowly forming between them—and nearly kills Trace—Trace's instincts shift into high gear. Sasha is powerful, and that means he has enemies, among them several rival covens and an uncle determined to force Sasha into a marriage with a vampire princess. But why involve the lynx Trace in their maneuvering? Finding the culprit won't be easy, and it will mean building trust—a slow and difficult prospect for someone who's suffered as much as Trace. Finding a way to move beyond the past, and to love, before those out to finish Sasha can destroy either, is a race the two fated hearts have to win.
