EMMA
My brother’s gambling debt made me collateral. My grumpy bear shifter rescuer is about to make me his.
One minute I’m living my quiet life; the next, I’m taken by dangerous men who want to use me as leverage. Then he shows up. Bodhi doesn’t do conversation, but the longer I’m under his protection, the more I see what he’s hiding. A man running from his past. An alpha avoiding his throne. And a hunger in his eyes that makes me feel anything but scared.
BODHI
She’s trouble. A target with my enemies’ crosshairs painted on her back. She’s also mine.
Now she’s making me feel things I buried years ago. Tempting me to claim what my bear insists is ours.
I left my clan to escape my father’s legacy. Swore I’d never go back. Never lead. Never let anyone close enough to hurt me again.
But Emma’s awakened something I can’t control, the destiny I tried to avoid, and the beast I swore I’d never be.
