[Shifters of Bear's Den 03] • Hunted Mate

**A wounded fox shifter hiding from her past.**

No one could call fox shifter Becca Holden fragile. She's been to hell and back and got the t-shirt, thank you very much. Years ago, she found herself pregnant with her mate's baby. When she miscarried, Nolan turned away, leaving her to grieve on her own. She left Bearden, vowing never to return.

She's been alone ever since.

Drifting from job to job, her life takes on a new level of misery and danger when she falls prey to hunters. Men who want to use her for their depraved version of fox-hunting. Becca manages to survive. Barely. She escapes her nightmare, but with nowhere left to go, she's forced to return to Bearden.

Heartache isn't done with Becca just yet…

**A second chance with the mate he lost.**

If Nolan Byers could have one do-over, it would be Becca. He and Becca were too young when she got pregnant, and when she lost the baby, they drifted apart. Becca left town, taking Nolan's heart with her.

Time hasn't healed this wound. If anything, the pain is worse. Ten long and lonely years pass until, one day, she returns to Bearden. *Becca… his Becca.* She's as beautiful as ever. The moment he sees her, he knows why he never wanted another woman. Because of Becca.

His one. His only. His mate for life.

Now he just needs to convince Becca to forgive him. But the feisty fox shifter wants nothing to do with him. He sees her around town and she either shuts him down, brushes him off, or flat-out ignores him.

Her sass infuriates Nolan's bear. His self-control unravels a little more each time he sees his beautiful, aggravating and smart-mouthed little mate. When a fire burns through Becca's home, a fire that starts under suspicious circumstances, Nolan makes his move.

Becca's in danger and his possessive and angry bear will no longer be denied.
