Broke and desperate, Benjamin (Ben) Shelikhov is on the verge of quitting the Night Shift Crew and leaving Dutch Harbor. He needs to earn a lot of cash in a short amount of time to help pay his sister’s mounting medical bills. And that dire need means moving away from Unalaska and the team who have become more like brothers than crew mates. But the silent, serious Kodiak shifter is the Night Shift’s only hope, and the guilt is killing him. Cassiopeia (Cassie) Taqukaq wanders into town one day along with the Shift’s new engine equipment for the brown crab season. The Native Alaskan beauty is a shifter and a wanderer, proud of it all, especially her brown bear. But she isn’t a stayer, doesn’t want to stick to any one person or place. For the most part, people have just let her down. But when it comes to Ben and Cassie’s chemistry, it’s off the charts, and it doesn’t take long for things to heat up. They match in so many ways, but will either of them open their hearts enough to stay?
