She came to Shadow Wolf Creek to disappear. He'll burn the world down to make her stay.

RONAN:I've waited years for a mate who might never come.

Then a woman with haunted eyes and a dying RV breaks down on my mountain. My bear knows before I do—she's the one. The anchor I've been searching for my whole life.

But Sage has been running for a decade, and she has every reason to keep going. A stalker ex who won't take no for an answer. A lifetime of refusing to put down roots. And an ironclad rule about men who think they can keep her.

She doesn't know that I'm the Alpha of the Ironwood Clan. That my territory is the safest place she could possibly be. That I'd rip apart anyone who tried to take her from me.

I told myself I'd give her space. Let her choose to stay.

Then her ex showed up in my town, making threats against my mate.

Now I'm done waiting. Done being patient. Done pretending I won't follow her to the ends of the earth if that's what it takes.

She can run if she wants. But this bear always catches what's his.

SAGE:

Ten years. Twenty-seven towns. One rule: never stay long enough to get attached.

My grandmother's death taught me that roots only mean pain when they're ripped up. So I keep moving, living in my RV, chasing the horizon. It's worked perfectly—until Bess dies on a frozen mountain road and a seven-foot grump with golden eyes carries me to safety.

Ronan is everything I should run from. Protective. Possessive. Convinced I'm his "fated mate" and determined to prove it. He looks at me like I'm the answer to a prayer he's been whispering for decades.

I don't believe in fate. I don't believe in staying. And I definitely don't believe in letting another man make decisions about my life.

But when my stalker ex tracks me to Shadow Wolf Creek, I realize something terrifying: for the first time in ten years, I don't want to run.

I want to fight. I want to stay. I want to see what happens when a woman who's never had a home finds an Alpha who'd burn down the world to give her one.

STRANDED WITH THE ALPHA BEAR is a steamy, standalone Black Paranormal Romance. It features a lonely Alpha who finally finds his forever, a road-weary heroine learning to stay, and a possessive bond that makes her stalker ex deeply regret his life choices.
