Until the night Jake Redthorn stormed into the ER while she was on shift and turned her life upside down with his piercing gaze and chilling words. According to Jake, she is about to go into heat. Maddy thinks he's crazy until his predictions come true. Forced to rely on Jake for his help throws her world into turmoil. It seems not only is she a shapeshifter and experiencing her first heat, but according to shifter laws she can only breed with her own kind.
