Description

Mara Dillon is no stranger to surviving. After a tragic accident, the blind forensic accountant is rebuilding her life in the quiet town of Cascade Falls. But when a black Labrador guide dog named Soot enters her world, she senses there's more to this dog than meets the eye.

Unbeknownst to Mara, Soot is a bear shifter—an operative sent by the pack to protect her from a rogue faction intent on eliminating her for what she knows. As Mara adjusts to her new life with Soot by her side, a deep, unspoken bond grows between them—one that goes far beyond the usual partnership of a guide dog and his owner.

Callum, the shifter within Soot, struggles to keep his true nature hidden. The fated mate bond he feels for Mara is undeniable, but revealing the truth could put them both in unimaginable danger. Yet, the longer he stays by her side, the more difficult it becomes to resist the pull between them.

In a world filled with secrets, lies, and the threat of violence, can a bear shifter protect the woman he loves without her ever knowing who he truly is?
