Jess made a mistake. She married too young, to the wrong man. The problem is, hawks mate for life. To add more insult to the situation, her mate, Freddie, isn't interested in keeping his vows, and it looks like he isn't coming home anytime soon. Freddie doesn't want Jess . . . but sexy grizzly bear Travis does. And oh, how Jess wants him too-even though she knows that she can't have him. However, Jess's marital problems aren't the only issue. Jess and Travis's pursuit of the nefarious being behind the attacks on their town is being sabotaged by treachery. When the two of them barely survive an ambush, Jess can no longer deny her love for the rascally bear. Can the pair dodge death long enough to see if it's possible for Jess to rectify a wrong and take Travis as her mate?
