Virgin sexual empath Tanari Jamora's plan to seduce her Centaurian Stallion into becoming her first lover is derailed when he leads her to one of Denhari's infamous Shifter pleasure stations. There she captures the interest of a handsome well-hung shifter. Enchanted and enraptured by the statuesque, dark-skinned beauty and her sass, Supreme Alpha shifter Daylon Adar, unknotted and constantly in search of the ultimate sexual high, can't resist taking her chastity in the presence of his pack. As he ravishes her, he's dismayed by a desire to mate with her under a full moon and surrender his ultimate prize for the first time-his knot. But he's honor-bound to sire cubs with one of the many petite blonds within his pack. Shaken by the exquisite pleasure she shared with Daylon and fearful of being used as a breeder and then cast aside, Tanari flees across the blue desert, filled with regret that she'll never see the handsome shifter again.
