The Firefighter's Forbidden Mate
(2026)(The fourth book in the Snowberry Ridge Shifters series)
A novel by Ella Tucker
She was just trying to close her case… he was trying not to claim her.
Wren O'Hare has one job: find whoever is setting fires on the western ridge before her supervisor — or anyone else — has a reason to doubt her again. Three years of head-down work to rebuild her career, and she is not going to be charmed by a small mountain town or a soot-streaked hotshot crew lead with kind eyes and a voice that does things to her ribs.
Then the lookout tower locks them in for the night. The storm cuts the road. And suddenly she's stranded with a grumpy crew lead who growls when she pushes him… and looks at her like she's already his.
Knox Beaumont is a grizzly shifter on a knife's edge, barely holding himself together. Wren smells like lemon drops and trouble, and his bear knows exactly what that means — she's his mate. The whole town has rules about how she's supposed to find out. He is going to follow every one of them, even if it kills him.
One night in the lookout tower becomes a base camp tent at dawn, and when the arsonist on the ridge sets a bridge on fire at both ends with Wren in the middle of it, neither of them can pretend anymore that this was ever just a case.
The Firefighter's Forbidden Mate is a fated-mates, forbidden-romance, small-town paranormal romance full of wildfire suspense, cozy cabin nights, and a hero who falls first, hardest, and entirely on purpose. A slow-burn-meets-protective-alpha shifter romance — perfect to enjoy with a flannel shirt, a mug of strong coffee, and the wood stove turned up high.
Genre: Fantasy
