Contained (The Fractured Series, #2)

For years, Donovan Grant has tried to overcome the nightmares of his past. Sentenced to the Hympe Trials on his eighteenth birthday, his contract was sold to demons who excelled at inflicting pain. They tortured Donovan for almost a century, using his empathic abilities against him. If it hadn't been for Maddison Wood, and her intervention, he might not have escaped with his sanity.

Since gaining his freedom, Donovan has fought hard to build his shields, an essential skill that allows him to navigate the emotional energy of those around him. It helps to avoid physical touch, something he avoids at all costs. That is until he meets Ruby Nettle, and all he wants to do is share skin privileges with the delectable alpha wolf.

Their first meeting ends in disaster, but before Donovan can rectify that, all hell breaks loose within the Enchanted Realm after a poison is released into the earth. To make matter worse, Donovan steps right into the infected area with his brother-in-arms Riley Ramone, just about the time they learn that Maddy is missing.
