Bear shifter, West Phillips, wasn't looking for a mate... but he finds her anyway when a sweet and curvy delivery woman shows up at his doorstep. And at the least convenient time possible. His clan isn't safe. It harbors lost and troubled youth, and hides a gnarly mutant shifter that no one can control. Not exactly the right place to settle down with the woman of your dreams. To make matters worse, he's at war with his bear. Because the man in him knows... She's his to claim. His to pleasure and adore. His to possess. But the beast inside is silent, refusing to acknowledge her. Even retreats in her presence instead of bonding. The animal knows something West doesn't, and he'll risk everything to figure it out. Because Daisy's lost as much as he has, and there's no denying fate brought them together at the perfect time. Things are changing for his people, and an inner battle like nothing he's ever experienced is coming for him. But no matter what, he can't let his heart get lost in the chaos. Because his future - and that of his twin brother's - depends on it.
