Zoe Stewart didn't plan to end up in the woods after she emptied her corrupt boss' bank accounts, but the small town of Bear Creek is the only safe place for her to hide from his minions. Except Bear Creek isn't connected to anything and she might die without fast wifi, even with the handsome brooding lumberjack to look after her. After a walk in the woods goes badly wrong, Zoe discovers her protector is more than he seems. Simon Crawford just wants to run tourists into the backwoods of the Cascades on boutique hunting and fishing trips. When his old battle buddy asks him to look after Zoe for a short time, Simon reluctantly agrees—and discovers his bear wants her as much as Zoe wants to leave. When a car accident leaves Zoe on the verge of death, Simon saves her the only way he knows: gives her his blood and changes her into a bear. Just as her bear recognizes his and their happily ever after seems just around the corner, Zoe's corrupt boss hunts them both down and threatens to destroy everything Simon has built in Bear Creek. Will Simon's bear hands be enough to save them both, or will their happily ever after end before it even begins?

Kira Lewis hides her jaguar shifter side every day, just so she can focus on her research and finally finish her degree. A trip to the mountains seems like a great opportunity to let her hair down a little while she's tracking wildlife—until she meets the burly lumberjack who's supposed to be her guide. Ethan Roberts tries to ignore how happy his boss, Simon, is with his mate, but Ethan knows deep down, he's jealous. Teeth-grindingly jealous. He's given up on finding his mate when serious Kira walks into the Lodge and steals what's left of his common sense. Kira doesn't know how she'll survive a two week hiking trip with the gorgeous Ethan, when she can hardly concentrate on data or cameras or anything but him. But a run-in with a group of illegal miners in the forest threatens more than just her research. Kira can't hide her jaguar, but there's more to Ethan than she knows. Can Ethan save her before she loses everything—including him?
