Lily is trying to be good but there is something about the surly caretaker that keeps her coming back for more.When her elderly father wants to retire and spend his days in his more animalistic form, Lily Parks dutifully respects his wishes and
helps him move out to Wild Oaks--a retirement estate in the Montana wilderness that caters specifically for shifters.
Her first encounter with Andrew--the gruff and rugged caretaker--is anything but smooth and their subsequent meetings are no better. But there is something about the solitary bear-shifter that makes her want to spend long winter nights curled up in his furry embrace. She's never felt a longing like this before, and certainly not towards someone so private and mysterious. The thrill of the hunt is in her bloody, however, and she intends to claim her mate.
But how can you woo someone like that, especially when your nosy, mischievous father is in the picture?
***

The next time he rides through will she be forced to tell him goodbye...or go with him?
