They are the sentinels, created to protect against evil that is to come. But the touch of one woman ignites his mating urge and Edensaw awakens before he's needed, into a world he no longer knows and a passion he cannot deny.

As the couple move from lust to love, the dark evil brews, threatening not only to destroy the mating bond, but the sentinels themselves.

The little Georgia peach is a blonde bombshell. All he can think about when she's around is what she'd look like all tangled up in his sheets.

Lola might use her sexuality to get what she wants, but it's her knowledge of cars, courtesy of her auto-racing family, that got her the producer spot on Revved Up. Jesse is hot and the star of all her recent steamy fantasies. Too bad he's off limits -- she won't risk her professional reputation on a fling.

Jesse sees one solution to their problem -- burn off this attraction in bed and get on with business. Lola agrees because she has to know what it's like to touch him, but she demands discretion. One sex-filled weekend in his secluded cabin, no strings attached. But one weekend might not be enough.
