Clawed — Beverly Rae

His beast could rip out her heart…if she doesn't claim his first.

Chloe Long has cleaned up her last mess where her now ex-boyfriend is concerned. Desperate to clear her mind of her last images of him -- in her bed with another woman, then with his hand around her throat -- she heads for the mountains. The one place that refreshes her spirit.

Conan Cahill's sojourn in the North Carolina mountains was supposed to be a break from the demands of his bear-shifter people…and the smell of humans. When he discovers a human female secretly sketching his naked body, though, his reaction catches him off guard. Not only does her scent rouse an aching need to touch and taste, her stubborn refusal to give up the drawing makes his body twitch in some very pleasurable ways.

Trapped with Conan in her tent during a storm, all thoughts of sleeping alone fly out of Chloe's mind. She can't help but grab something more than forty winks in her sleeping bag. They come together like thunder and lightning, but there's danger beyond the rain. And the stirring of a love that may not survive their differences.

Warning: Getting back to nature is hot and wild. If you're not ready to meet the mountain man of your dreams, stay in the city.
