Valkyrie Eynd Vespertine has learned a thing or two in the last hundred years of her life, and that’s to expect the unexpected. As one of the few Valkyrie females in the Midwest, she’s had her fair share of suitors and setups by her vampire parents, but what she hasn’t found is her truemate. After a trip away with family, she returns to Cleveland and finds herself in the crosshairs of a new coven enemy—another coven! When she crosses paths with the dangerous coven master, she’s rescued by an unlikely group of heroes—five polar bears who’ve oathed themselves to the bad guy.

Spike Adair is the eldest of five polar bear shifters. Fifty years ago, he and his brothers oathed to a vampire master named Dargan. The magical tattoos are evidence of their allegiance. After they come to Cleveland to take out Mishka and his coven so Dargan can take over, they run into a snag. A female Dargan kidnaps is his and his brother Wraith’s mate. Rescuing her means breaking their oath to their master, but there isn’t anything that Spike and Wraith won’t do for the redheaded Valkyrie.

Breaking their oath to Dargan turns out to be easier said than done. With the Cleveland coven at their side in battle, they have a chance to walk away with their mate and start a new life with her, but a demon from the Cleveland coven’s past has other ideas. Getting Eynd to fall in love with them won’t be the only challenge, but they’re just the males for the job.
