A call from a rancher about an unusual animal causing havoc along the borders of the National Forest brings him to the Olympic Mountain National Park.

His shock soon turns to horror and confusion when he locates the wounded ‘animal.’ Ty finds more than he expects when a human, thought to be extinct, turns up in the trap. What is even more confusing is his bear’s reaction to the female. When word escapes about his discovery, Ty must fight to protect the unusual woman who is more than an oddity – she is his mate! Can Ty keep Ella alive and safe from a shifter obsessed with adding her to his private collection? Not only that, can he protect her when his own government threatens to take her away from him?

Troy Slater is used to action in business and in his personal life. Swan is not as sophisticated as she appears. She has always struggled with the Ugly Duckling image. Fate, steaming passion and romance bring them together. Sparks fly as jealousy and misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart.Although Sassy Swan is from the world of modeling and glamour, she is afraid of macho men and intimate relations. Sexy, buff, hot-studded Troy has no such hang-ups. Fate has thrown them together on a crashed mountain top of the Colorado Rockies. It is not long before passion rages in the snug igloo of the 707's severed tail and threatens to melt their icy cooler, while the call of the wild northern wolf threatens their very existence.Excerpt Chapter 1“Here’s to champagne cocktails and chocolate covered studs!”The quiet laughter and tinkling of four champagne flutes vibrated throughout the atmosphere of the elite restaurant as tuxedoed waiters scurried about giving their chic clientele the service they expected. In the center of the room sat four fashionable dressed young women under the twinkling chandeliers. They drew the attention of every mature male that wasn’t nearsighted, farsighted, or partially blind. Heads swiveled as each male patron strained his neck to peek among the marble statues, lime green palms, and fresh colorful flowers that graced the crisp white tablecloths. Each gentleman was trying to get a better glimpse of the four hot chicks that were toasting and roasting. Most weren’t even trying to be discreet. Even the waiters were not too busy to be immune by each lady’s physical attributes, charm, and beauty.Troy Slater was no exception. He glanced up at precisely the moment the redhead chose to cross her shapely long limbs. Troy leaned back slightly in his chair and shifted to get a better view of those legs and the one they called Swan. He liked what he saw. The redheaded bombshell with the lanky legs wore a silky black nylon held-up by only a skimpy piece of a black lacy garter belt. The creamy white thigh beyond the black silk looked smooth and touchable.“Isn’t that right, Slater?Troy’s black eyebrows snapped together in a stormy piecing scowl. To the skinny young man’s credit with the bowtie and glasses, he held Slater’s gaze steady. Slater wondered cynically if he’d ever had a “hard on”. He reached in his pocket for a cigarette and reluctantly turned his attention back to business.Romance Novel, Modern Romance Novel, Contemporary Romance Novel, Western Romance Novel, Action Romance Novel, Love Story
