You'll get a satisfying slow-burn payoff with possessive alpha energy that leaves you breathless.

Synopsis

Four years ago, Theron "Hunter" Rebane walked away from the only woman he ever searched for. Now she's back—and this time, he's not letting her run. Aila O'Hara showed up at Harry's Saloon like a ghost from a fever dream. One night of electric tension, and then she vanished. Theron's been looking for her ever since. When she steps off the ferry onto Landslide with her mother in tow, every instinct in his body roars mine . But Aila's been running for ten years. There's someone hunting her. Someone who won't stop until he finds her. Landslide was supposed to be temporary—just another place to hide until her past catches up. She knows better than to get attached. Especially to the Midnight Riders' most dangerous enforcer. They call him Hunter for a reason. Theron doesn't just want her—he craves her. Forest encounters that leave her breathless. Dreams so vivid she wakes up aching. She should be terrified of what he is. Instead, she can't stay away. Then her ex shows up with a gun. Bullets rip through Landslide's peace. And when Aila's blood spills onto the floor, Theron has one watch her die, or make her like him. When the skyquake thunders overhead and her heart stops beating, Theron tastes her blood and makes the call. Some bonds can't be broken. Some hungers can't be denied. And some women aren't meant to run—they're meant to hunt. She spent ten years being prey. Now she's predator. And the only man fast enough to keep up with her is the one who refused to let her go. Danger hunts. Love transforms. Eternity begins with a bite. 18+ for explicit content, blood feeding, violence, transformation scenes, and possessive heroes who don't know when to quit.
