Bucking bull shifter, Dead of Winter, is desperately trying to hold onto one of the top three spots in the PBSRC. He's coming off a shoulder injury though, and he's looking for something to keep him motivated to put his body through the strain of bucking in rodeos every week. Hints about his past are making it into the public eye, and the pressure on him is bigger than ever, but when he sees a stranger in the crowd at a rodeo, she just might be the key to turning things around. Raven looks like a tough-girl, but her sweet demeanor has his bull paying attention. He's falling way too hard, and way too fast, and he doesn't know her intentions yet. She's a Hagan, and those shifters are nothing to mess with. Their inner animals are territorial and ill-tempered to say the least, but that only adds to Raven's mystery. She could be the motivation he needs...or his downfall. Only time will tell.Raven has a plan: meet the bull shifter who can answer questions about her biological family, and ask him how she can control her animal. Meeting Dead of Winter isn't easy. He's in town for a rodeo and signing autographs after he bucks, and what starts as a VIP meet-and-greet turns into a week-long adventure of self-discovery, and falling hard for the man who is teaching her all about herself. Her animal isn't like his, or any of the rest of the herd though. She's a lean, mean, human-stomping machine and there's no controlling her once she's on the loose. Dead's options are simple - see the animal and run, or see the potential and push her to be bigger than she ever imagined. Her life is taking a drastic turn, and it's overwhelming and exhilarating. And now, she just needs to make sure Dead, and all the people he loves, survive her.Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets.
