As the alpha of the Blue Bear Search and Rescue Team, Xavier Wilde prides himself on being ready for anything. He has contingency plans for every scenario.
Except for the one where he's suddenly being investigated by his fated mate.
Laurel doesn't let anyone tell her how to do her job. Especially not some bear shifter who thinks he's God's gift to Search and Rescue. He's hiding something but what? Laurel's not so sure she wants to find out. Not with a secret of her own to protect.
A secret she's been outrunning for a long time—and he's just caught up.
Xavier is determined to protect the woman he loves, even if it costs him everything. Again.
