A witch on the run… All Gloriana Anora St.John wants is to serve the annulment decree on her never-really-a-husband. She didn't expect to barge in on a blood sacrifice. After rescuing a young girl, Gloriana and her familiar are cornered by the coven of dark warlocks. It's no wonder her hasty transport spell—and why hadn't she practiced the damn spells when she was supposed to?—lands her in the middle of nowhere West Virginia. A lonely bear Shifter with issues… Former Marine and bear Shifter Liam Hardisty is minding his own business, popping a thieving honey badger and fishing for his breakfast. Before he can even snag a fish, a turquoise-colored transport cloud dumps a witch and her familiar practically at his paws. One sniff and Liam knows he's found his mate. Her name is Glory. Gloriana just rid herself of one male. Plus, she has a dark warlock in hot pursuit. She has more than enough man trouble—she doesn't need a mate, even one a delicious-smelling hunk like Liam. Liam knows he's working on a short clock and has a lot to do before he can give Glory his mating bite—he needs to gain Glory's trust, prove he's what she needs in her life, and then protect her from the evil asshat warlock. What a witch needs isn't always what she thinks she needs—sometimes, it's better.
