Monster's Prey

I hadn't been looking for a mate, but I will keep her now that I've found her.

***

My mate died, but somehow, I survived, and my body didn't get the message that I didn't want to go into heat. My brother had nursed me back to health, but then I became a bargaining chip.

A walk in the woods to enjoy my last moments of freedom before being forced into a new bond almost became the last thing I ever did. The only thing more terrifying than the bear who tried to kill me was the monster who decided I was his prey.

He was different enough I didn't feel like I was betraying my lost mate when he declared he was keeping me for himself, and there was a connection I couldn't deny.

Why wouldn't I let him claim me as his prize?

***This is the third book in the Monsters in the Mountains series, but it can be read as a standalone. It features a mature heroine overcoming grief to move on with her life.***
