Sheriff Dante Rowan has kept Rowan Creek's secret for years: this quiet mountain town isn't just remote - it's a sanctuary, and he's the bear who guards it.
Serena Kane just wants a break from her career, her deadlines, her carefully controlled life. She never expected the road into Rowan Creek to lead somewhere she couldn't simply leave behind - or to a man she can't stop thinking about.
From the moment their eyes meet, Dante knows exactly what she is to him. What he doesn't know is how to keep her safe from Malik - an old, dangerous debt from Dante's past who will use anyone, and anything, to collect what he's owed.
As the pull between Serena and Dante grows too strong to fight, the danger closing in on Rowan Creek grows just as fast. Dante will have to choose: keep running from fate, or risk everything - his secret, his town, his heart - to protect the woman fate chose for him.
A slow-burn, small-town paranormal romance with a brooding shifter hero, a heroine who refuses to run, and a love worth fighting for.
Book One of the Rowan Creek Series.
