A paranormal mountain man wolf shifter and curvy girl instalove romance loaded with spice and heart pounding action. Features forced proximity, extra spice, grumpy mountain man, sunshine librarian, dual v-cards! Ten years I've been hiding in these mountains. Ten years since I walked away from my pack, my responsibility, everything that made me who I was. The war broke something in me—something an Alpha can't afford to lose. I chose isolation. Chose to live alone rather than risk destroying everything I touch. Then she stumbles into my world during the worst storm in decades. Destiny—soft curves, sunshine smile, and a scent that makes my wolf howl with recognition. She's everything I've denied myself, everything I swore I'd never claim. When I look at her, I see home. When she looks at me, she doesn't see the monster I've become. She should run. Should fear what I am beneath the skin. Instead, she reorganizes my books and makes me remember what it feels like to be human. But when danger threatens her, the beast I've kept caged breaks free. And once she sees what I really am—teeth, claws, and killing fury—there's no going back. She's my mate. My salvation. My everything. Getting lost in a mountain storm wasn't part of my hiking plan. Neither was stumbling across a cabin owned by the most intimidatingly gorgeous man I've ever seen. Doom lives up to his name—all dark intensity and barely leashed power. He moves like violence, speaks in growls, and watches me with eyes that burn amber in the firelight. Every instinct should tell me to run. Instead, I want to stay. There's pain behind his walls, loneliness that calls to something deep in my soul. When he touches me, I feel alive in ways I never knew possible. When he looks at me, I see hunger that makes my whole body ache with need. I've read enough romance novels to recognize a wounded hero when I see one. What I didn't expect was discovering he's more than human. When danger comes for me, he transforms into something magnificent and deadly—a wolf who fights with lethal grace to keep me safe. He thinks he's a monster. I think he's mine.
