When a car crash leaves her stranded in his cabin during a snowstorm, Maya discovers her fated mate is a grumpy shifter who's determined to never let her go.

I've been a lone wolf since leaving my pack, avoiding both Alphas vying for my loyalty in Shadow Wolf Creek. Then I catch her scent—sweet strawberries that drive my wolf wild. When Maya crashes her car during a snowstorm and ends up trapped in my cabin, every protective instinct I have roars to life. She's my fated mate, even if she doesn't realize it yet. The snowstorm gives me the perfect opportunity to claim her, but my grumpy nature and possessive tendencies might scare her away. As we're snowed in together, I struggle to control my dominant urges while showing her that beneath my rough exterior is a Beta who would do anything to keep her safe. Once the snow melts, I'll never let her go—my wolf and I are in complete agreement about that.
 
Maya
 
I came to Shadow Wolf Creek hoping to find a fated mate, but I never expected to be trapped in a cabin with the most intimidating shifter I've ever met. Kai is grumpy, possessive, and absolutely irresistible. As the snowstorm keeps us isolated together, I discover there's more to him than his brooding exterior—there's loyalty, protection, and a devotion that makes my heart race. Each day spent in his cabin reveals another layer to this complex Beta wolf, from his painful past to his uncertain future. The mate bond growing between us feels right, but am I ready for the life that comes with being claimed by a grumpy shifter who seems determined to shelter me from the world? When the snow finally clears, I'll have to decide if I'm brave enough to stay with a man whose idea of love is both fierce and all-consuming.
