She doesn’t want anyone to see the scars of her childhood, left behind by her abusive uncle. Everything changes for her on the night of the full moon, when she follows a reindeer and gets tackled by a bear shifter. He says they’re mates, but even though he’s the sexiest male she’s ever met, Kammie knows that once he sees the evidence of her painful history he won’t want anything to do with her. Row Grayson has lived a hard life, fighting in tournaments for the amusement of the kings of neighboring bear sleuths. The only bright spots are his mother and his adopted sister, who is a reindeer shifter. On the way to take Dani to her people, she suddenly takes off and leaves Row behind. As he attempts to catch up to her, he senses his own mate in the snow-covered woods of a town called Wilde Creek. His mate is anything but receptive to his touch. Her skin is as scarred as years of brutal fighting have left his heart, but he knows he can convince her he finds her beautiful inside and out. When he takes Kammie back to his people to make her his mate, things go sideways fast – an enemy from Row’s past tries to take Kammie from him. To save her, Row has to fight harder than he ever has. When a determined bear tangles with an equally determined she-wolf, things will heat up fast. Expect growling, naked conversations, and a bear who will kill to keep his mate by his side forever. less

Adam Cruz has spent the last twelve years of his life wondering if he’d ever find his truemate. As a low-ranked omega wolf, with a body full of scars from a firebomb, he’s had more than his fair share of trauma and shame. All he wants is to find his truemate and settle down, even though he wonders if his mate will care about his scars, or that he can’t hunt as well as other wolves because of them. As the only reindeer shifter in a bear den, Dancer Grayson knows what it’s like not to fit in... moreAdam Cruz has spent the last twelve years of his life wondering if he’d ever find his truemate.

As the only reindeer shifter in a bear den, Dancer Grayson knows what it’s like not to fit in. When she runs into her truemate in the woods of Wilde Creek, she discovers that she fits right in with him. Adam’s not ashamed to have prey as a mate, and she’s not ashamed of his scars. Together, she’s certain they can survive anything. When Adam’s gambling-addict dad hits him up for money and Adam refuses, his dad does the unthinkable, and Dani ends up kidnapped. What the kidnappers don’t count on is that there isn’t just a wolf pack looking for Dani, but her own kind. Can Adam get to her before she’s harmed, or will she be lost to him forever? less
