Heartless

<p><strong>Warrior. Doctor. Spy. I am Commander Helion a heartless terror relentless and unforgiving. Merciless.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>My destiny is not to claim a female to have a family to be rendered helpless by love.</p><p><br></p><p>Despite this I am matched. A beautiful human female is now mine. Despite my warnings she is determined to leave her mark on me body and soul.</p><p><br></p><p>Honor demands I resist. I tell her the truth. I will not place a mating collar around her neck. I cannot protect her-especially from me-my choices-the horrors I face every day.</p><p><br></p><p>Just one moment of weakness and she gets under my skin makes me want things I cannot have. She is everything I am not-and the most dangerous creature I have ever faced.</p><p><br></p><p>Claiming her-keeping her-is not possible with my pivotal role in this never-ending war. There is no place in my duties for desire. For need. Too many innocents count on me for protection. Too many lives are at stake including hers.</p><p>The enemy is always ready and waiting but I never expected her to be among them.</p><p><br></p><p>For the first time in my hardened life I question my sanity. My dark soul. I begin to understand exactly what my enemies have stolen from me-and realize there is no limit to what a heartless warrior will sacrifice for love.</p>
