A forbidden love. A broken bond. One last chance at forever.
Polar bear shifter Cooper Borealis has been fighting fate for years. His human secretary, Amber Myawayan, is everything he wants—sweet, fearless, and completely off-limits. He promised himself five years before giving in to his instincts. But when mating fever strikes, five years becomes five minutes.
Amber knows exactly what she wants: her missing brother found… and Cooper in her arms. She’s tired of pretending the tension between them doesn’t burn like wildfire.
But when their bond is mysteriously blocked, desire turns to desperation. Together, they’ll face the wilderness, old enemies, and the truth about what it means to belong—to a family, to a mate, and to love itself.
The north doesn’t take no for an answer—and neither does fate.
This was one twisty and fascinating story, with so much going on in such a short time that one might fear there wasn’t enough filler to build the relationship for Amber and Cooper, but Arend’s skill once again proves she is a mistress of romance for a good reason.
