Riley James has one mission: to help bestselling author Hudson Hyland finish his latest book. She goes to his home, ready to help solve his author's problems. Hudson's only problem is that he hides from the world and women. When Riley shows up on his doorstep, Hudson Bear immediately wants her, but he wants to be alone. Hudson struggles with his attraction to her, knowing that he cannot tell her about the world of werewolves. Determined to resist his bear's needs, he does everything he can to send her back. Frustrated by his aloof behavior and irresistible attractiveness, Riley tries to break down the barriers that keep Hudson sullen and distant. The more time they spend together, the more the sexual tension builds, until Hudson's bear is left with only one choice.
