Why we recommend it

A Black Dagger Brotherhood warrior who has been bound by his destiny and the human surgeon who sees past the warrior to the male underneath. Ward writes the BDB paranormal with the unbound as both promise and threat — he is unbound by normal Brotherhood rules, and the love story formed in that freedom is the most complicated in the series.
