Dawn Book 1 (Paul Lahote x OC)

**"Once you're caught in the storm... you don't know where you'll end up."**

Kaya Swan has spent her entire life doing things her own way.

A foul-mouthed motorcycle mechanic with a temper sharp enough to rival the Pacific during a storm, Kaya has no patience for idiots, no interest in romance, and absolutely no intention of letting anyone tell her how to live her life. Living alone in a small cabin outside the Quileute Reservation, she's perfectly content rebuilding engines, riding her motorcycle, and minding everyone else's business only when it benefits her father, Charlie Swan.

So when her younger half-sister, Bella, moves to Forks and turns the quiet town upside down, Kaya reluctantly steps in. Not because she wants to.

Because Charlie asked.

Between mysterious vampires, shape-shifting wolves, and Bella's talent for making every supernatural problem somehow become everyone else's problem, Kaya finds herself pulled into a world she'd rather curse at than join.

Then Paul Lahote imprints.

Unfortunately for him, fate picked the one woman stubborn enough to fight it.

She doesn't want a soulmate.

He doesn't want to surrender to the bond.

What follows is a collision of two explosive tempers, relentless arguments, bruised egos, stolen glances, and a love neither of them is willing to admit exists.

After all...

Fire may rage.

But even fire has to bow to the sea.
