After a routine mission turns deadly, bear shifter and former Enforcer, Jase Wagner is lost. The ability to trust his senses disappeared with the death of his partner and left him feeling worthless and unable to protect his clan. In an effort to find a place to fit in, he travels south and ends up in Emerald Haven, North Carolina. Violet Black has lived in the small town of Emerald Haven her whole life. To outsiders, bears and wolf shifters living together as one clan might seem odd—especially when you add in a few half-human hybrids—but it works for their community. Being half-human doesn’t make her more or less equal in their clan, but being a curvy, plus-sized virgin with no shifter senses definitely makes her a freak. Luckily, no one ever gets close enough to learn the truth. When Jase walks into the coffee shop where Violet works, his whole world flips upside down. He immediately recognizes Violet as his mate, but when she runs, he realizes his senses still can’t be trusted. As much as he thinks he wants Violet, he vows to leave her alone…until she forces him to protect her. Note: This book was previously published in the Southern Shifters Kindle World as ‘Bear Sentry’, however, it has been revised and extended to fit into the Emerald Haven world.
