A single shifter… Nothing turns on Elijah Black more than food, much to his mother’s constant disappointment. She wants Elijah mated and settled, like his brothers. But Elijah is far from ready, and hasn’t met a woman who comes even close to touching his heart. A gun-shy, curvy woman… Kaylee Jackson found Pine Heart while she was running from her past. Here, she could reach for a new future, one that would help her forget her past. When she meets Elijah Black, she sees a good man – one she might be able to spend the rest of her life with. But her first priority is to create the dream that was taken from her. Two lives, one goal. After Kaylee’s restaurant is sabotaged, Elijah vows to keep her safe. His bear has other plans for her – plans that involve the rest of his life. If Kaylee will have him.
