In the face of love, some hearts retreat. Others stand their ground—and fight. After a difficult year licking her emotional wounds at the family ranch, Calley Stewart jumps at the chance to return to her beloved Montana wilderness to continue her work with the Border Grizzly Project. Determined to never again repeat the mistakes that drove her away. When she meets the project’s new director, though, there’s no ignoring the magnetic pull between them. Dean Ramsey is a man so in tune with his surroundings, he moves in on the closely guarded territory around her heart before she has the chance to shore up her defenses. Tracking grizzly bears is dangerous business, and the last thing Dean needs is a team member who isn’t wholly focused on the project’s critical research. Except before he’s even laid eyes on Calley, the sexy sound of her voice through the trees sends a jolt of electricity up his spine. Their work carries them to the wilds of Alaska, but the shadows of their pasts follow. And when they face the ultimate test of courage, those shadows threaten to cloud the path to safety, to their future…even their very survival. This title was previously published. Product Warnings Contains a sexy hero with the heart of a bear, and a heroine with an independent streak to match.

Author
I had to edit my biography, changing my status from married to widow. Since I'm often asked how I'm doing, I'll put the answer here. For the most part I'm doing all right thanks to loving family and understanding friends. I have two sons and four grandchildren. Two rescue dogs allow me to hug, walk, and feed them. In exchange they give me unconditional love and the occasional need for the carpet shampooer. As the product of a rural upbringing, the wilderness, particularly mountains and evergreens are in my blood. I live in a small southern Oregon town which boasts four distinct seasons, an awesome river, and the ocean within a short drive. Ditto with Crater Lake. Setting plays a big role in most of my writing as witness by two recent contemporary romance series set in Montana's awesome mountains. Also writes as Dawn Flindt and Heather Williams.
