The biggest story of her life could be her last … unless her mate can save her.

Fanged peril

Curvy journalist Caitlyn Roberts can’t believe her eyes. She and her boss at a popular paranormal investigations website have just received shocking footage of a local businessman turning into a giant beast! Things go bad in a hurry when the subject of the investigation decides to destroy the evidence…and her.

Feeling the heat

Caitlyn flees for her life, only to end up stranded in the middle of nowhere when her car goes off the road. Certain she’s about to die, her luck finally takes a turn for the better when she’s rescued by the strongest, sexiest firefighter she’s ever seen.

Small town, big trouble

Bear shifter and small-town attorney Mark Swanson divides his time between running a law office to help his friends and neighbors in small-town Bearpaw Ridge and volunteering as a firefighter. The last thing he expects is for an accident victim to be his fated mate…especially when she turns out to be the reporter behind the news site determined to expose shifters as real.

Love in the crosshairs

Despite the risks, Mark and his bear can’t resist getting closer to the sexy reporter they both want to claim. The heat between them is irresistible—but when a shifter hit man shows up, it’s clear that Caitlyn’s got more problems than a wrecked car. Can he and his mate trust each other with their deepest secrets, or will their happy ending be ripped away from them?

Mark smiled at her, the admiration undimmed in his eyes, and stepped forward to take her arm.

The touch of his fingers against her bare arm sent a jolt of pure sensation straight to the pit of her belly.

She hadn't felt anything like this since high school. Caitlyn froze and stared up at him.

His hot hazel eyes burned into hers.

She should say something. Anything.

Her lips parted, but her mind was completely blank, as if the heat of his presence had burned away all rational thought.

Mark made an odd sound low in his throat, almost like a growl. Then his big hands were cupping her face, his fingers sliding into her hair.

Her heart hammered frantically as he bent his head, lowering his face to hers with excruciating slowness.

She wanted to grab him and haul him down to her. She wanted to run away from this man, practically a stranger, who incited such overwhelming feelings in her.

But she could do neither. She felt as if she were frozen in place by the strength of her yearning.

She felt his breath against her lips like a warm caress. An instant later, his mouth brushed against hers in a feather-light kiss.

Heat seared through her, racing down her spine, kindling an urgent throb of desire between her thighs. She gasped, and he withdrew.

Wait, what?

"I'm sorry—" he began. But his hands still cradled her cheeks.

"I'm not," Caitlyn said firmly, and rose on the tip-toes of her good foot to return the kiss.
