When Rachel arrives in Cougar Falls for a reading of her aunt’s will, she finds herself in a typical mountain town. Except that it’s not quite…typical. It’s full of the requisite, rough-hewn mountaineers, but these men seem more animal than man. And one of the rude strangers brings out the animal in her during an embarrassingly orgasmic-and scorching-sexual encounter in an alley. The fantastic tales that the townsfolk tell about the Ac-Taw, a clan of people who can shift into animals, are nothing but folklore. Or are they? Burke is stunned by his response to Rachel, and even more so when she innocently shows signs of possessing Ac-Taw blood. And this puts her in more danger than she knows, danger that only increases the urgency to mark her as his own. Rachel comes to realize she’s inherited much more than just property. She has also inherited a destiny to protect her newfound home. For the Ac-Taw aren’t just legend-they’re real.

Cullen Whitefeather is Ac'taw; a fierce golden eagle shapeshifter. The ultimate predator, he doesn't shy away from confrontation - unless it involves one tempting, smart-mouthed woman. The woman destined to be his mate. The woman who doesn't even know he's alive. Sarah Duncan made one mistake years ago and hasn't stopped paying for it since. Tired of the towns treatment, she finally tells the truth about what really happened and pays a hard price. Her clan wants to silence her. Permanently. Rescue comes from a completely unexpected source - Cullen, a man who can barely seem to string two sentences together. Yet his fierce protectiveness, compassion, and bewitching touch are worth more than a thousand words. With Sarah so close, Cullen is losing his mind-and his heart. She says she wants to leave, and the raptors want her gone. But if there's one thing Cullen's good at, it's a fight. And he's not letting her go without one.
