Heartbreak and Destiny

Eloise Freimont is done with men and ready for a break. When her friend signs her up for a dude ranch she thinks it might be exactly what she is looking for and agrees, ready to focus on finding herself and getting her life back. That is if she can ignore the sex-on-a-stick, Corbin Hurst.

Alpha Corbin Hurst has wished for his fated mate since he and his clan of black bear shifters first settled in Independence. After three long years, he had almost given up hope. That was until she showed up at their doorstep, ready for the ranch experience they offered. Now, long days make for longer nights as he dreams of their future together and what they might have if she would only give him a chance.

A stalker from Eloise's past reappears, threatening the very safety she thinks she found. Matters are only made worse when another mysterious man adds to the chaos as he sets out to destroy not only their relationship but everything they both have worked so hard for.

Will they be able to push back before it's too late and save not only themselves but the town they have both grown to care for?
