Brooklyn Nishi likes order, and stability, and following the rules. Then she has to run for her life—and everything familiar vanishes in an instant. Bear shifter Tanner Rochon loves his family and the little patch of Washington he calls home. As sheriff of Apex, it’s his job to protect his community and keep the peace. When he finds a strange woman in the woods, he knows two things: she's in trouble, and she’s the mate he’s always wanted. Tanner and his bear are more than ready for the challenge Brooklyn presents. But is she ready to leave behind everything she’s known and start a new life with him? And will trouble of a more lethal kind come looking for her?
