Welcome to the holidays in Hideaway Valley—where the festivities bring alpha men together with independent women, and age is nothing but a number. Dani I love my job as a therapist. Supporting patients as they work through trauma and heal feeds my soul. It’s the work I know I was born to do, so I left my job at a psychiatry practice in Chicago to open my own clinic. I’d only taken the job to make my toxic ex happy, and once I ended things with him nothing was stopping me from quitting. After our ugly break-up, I moved to Colorado, settling in a little town called No Name Creek. At long last I’m far, far away from my ex, and can finally live how I want. Unfortunately, now what I want I can’t have—Sargent Hayden James, a former Army Ranger suffering from PTSD. Though I’d like to treat and care for him in every way, that would be beyond unprofessional. He’s my patient, and significantly younger than me. Giving into my feelings would be very, very wrong. So, I’ll have to settle for treating just his mind, despite how much I long to treat his body. But when Hayden shares a spicy dream he had, starring me, will I be able to continue to deny my feelings? It may be wrong to give in, but the way he touches me feels very, very right. Hayden Dr. Daniela Rios has been trying to get me to share my dreams since I started seeing her for therapy months ago. Until now, I’ve been reluctant. Even though I’m committed to treatment for my PTSD, sharing the horrible nightmares from my experiences in the military is still something I have trouble doing. But then I have a dream I don’t want to keep hidden. I’ve desired my curvy therapist since the first time I saw her, and now that she’s also invading my subconscious mind, I’m done fighting it. Dani is a professional though, and damn good at her job, so I know sharing my dirty dream with her is risky. Can I convince Dani that we’re made for each other, and to forget about our age difference and doctor/patient relationship? I can always find a new therapist, but I’ll never find a new soulmate.

Ginny I came to Phantom Peaks, Montana, with one goal: prove the bears in these mountains are unlike anything the scientific world has ever seen. As a wildlife biologist finishing my PhD, this research is everything—my career, my reputation, my future. The university is counting on me to uncover evidence of a unique genetic strain hidden deep within these forests. And I will find it. What I don’t expect… is to become part of the mystery. When a tracking mission goes sideways, I find myself in a situation no amount of training could have prepared me for—until he shows up. Brock Wilder. Massive. Intense. Unforgettable. He saves me like it’s nothing. But that’s not the strangest part. Days later, when I catch him watching me in the woods, he doesn’t deny it. Doesn’t apologize. Doesn’t leave. Instead, he tells me something impossible. That I belong to him. I laugh. He doesn’t. Because, according to Brock, I’m right about the bears of Phantom Peaks… They are different. And he’s about to prove it in a way that will change everything I thought I knew—about science, about this mountain… and about myself. Brock I’ve always preferred the quiet. As Alpha of the Phantom Peaks bear clan, it’s my duty to protect our territory—the wild stretches beyond the wolf packs, where solitary shifters roam and secrets stay buried. It’s a life of responsibility, distance… and control. For years, that’s been enough. Until my bear starts to push. Hard. At 38, there’s no ignoring it anymore. The pull. The need. The certainty that somewhere out there is the one made for me. And then I catch her scent. Fiery. Stubborn. Human. Mine. Ginny Reed walks into my territory chasing answers, not realizing she is the answer. My answer. My mate. She may not understand the bond. May not accept it. But that doesn’t change the truth. And my bear has waited long enough. The scientist came here to prove a theory— That the bears of Phantom Peaks are different. She’s right. Now it’s time to show her exactly what that means… and what it means to belong to an Alpha bear. In the misty mountains of Phantom Peaks, shifters rule a hidden world, where danger and desire collide. In this untamed realm shaped by legacy, fated mates are more than a promise—they are a destiny that cannot be broken.
