When Harper Ellis returns to the storm-swept Outer Banks to save her grandmother's struggling wildlife rescue, the last thing she expects is to come face-to-face with a monster.
Massive paw prints. Distant roars shaking the marsh. And a reclusive, six-foot-four volunteer named Rowan whose quiet intensity makes her pulse race. Rowan Kane is hiding a dangerous secret-he's a werebear bound by an ancient curse to protect the land itself. As corporate developers threaten to bulldoze the coast and awaken rival shifter clans, Harper discovers she possesses a rare gift: the ability to calm the beast within him.
But every touch draws her deeper into his world of hidden wars, feral instincts, and undeniable attraction. With a hurricane bearing down and enemies closing in, Harper must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the wild heart she's starting to claim as her own.
In a town where secrets run as deep as the tides, some curses feel a lot like fate.
