Southwestern Shifters: Reckless

Six months in his enemies hands has left Marcus Criswell a shell of the man he used to be-or so he thought until his destined mate rescued him from a cruel death. Six months have passed since Marcus Criswell, Alpha Anax of the North American shifters, disappeared. Held captive, tortured and driven to the brink of madness, he still refuses to give up. Even when his captors abandon him, leaving him chained without food or water, Marcus will not accept his fate. Until his fate changes with the appearance of his mate, Nathan Grant. Now if only the two of them can survive long enough to enjoy it. Nathan Grant doesn't know the first thing about shifters other than he is one and should avoid all others. He's followed that advice all of his life. Raised by humans, Nathan is more than a little uncomfortable with the idea of being around any other shifters. One spontaneous day spent running as his wolf in Lincoln National Forest forces Nathan to reconsider what little he thought he knew, and to risk his life for one very unforgettable man. Surviving isn't easy, and Marcus is all too aware he's only a shell of the man he used to be. He wasn't broken completely, but he's definitely fractured, and even finding his mate might not be enough to help him heal.
