She's on the run from a monster. But I'm here to protect her. No one ever expected me to fail.

Our lives changed the day she stumbled into our small mountain lodge to avoid the dark. I didn't expect anger to surge when she flinched. I didn't expect protectiveness to overflow, or the insatiable need to care for her.

I didn't expect jealousy when my crew wanted to feed her. She didn't expect a fight to break out—and watch me shift into a bear right before her eyes.

My life changed when she found out what we were. Now that she saw it, I can't let her go. I want her to be my mate.

But the life she ran from threatens to invade our newfound happiness. Can we protect her? Or will she pay the price for daring to leave a man of the law?
