Boring. Quiet. Glum.
Meera has been called many things over the years, and for the most, they don’t bother her. She’d rather be boring than draw attention to herself, because she knows exactly how dangerous the wrong attention can be.
But when a ghost from her past pops up to haunt her in her new life, Meera remembers what a powerful tool anger can be.
Sensible. Reliable. Steady.
Verner doesn’t rock the boat, and he always tries to do right by everyone—especially the cautious but kind ex-Hunter he’s trying to befriend.
But when it comes to Meera, Verner doesn’t know how to be sensible. For Meera, he’ll risk everything.

The moment I saw the captain, I knew. His scent unlocked a hidden part of me, a promise of a future filled with love and affection.
But the Fates are cruel–they matched me to a human man who could never be mine, for his duty binds him to the southern lands while I must remain here, at the Black Bear Hill.
As winter closes in, a human delegation arrives at my home, and with it, the man who’s been haunting my dreams and waking thoughts. He’s everything I remember from that first brief glimpse of him–honorable, kind, and unbearably handsome.
Yet the captain–Owen–is still bound by his service to the duke whose intentions toward our clan may be less than good. He’s a soldier first and will return to his post in the human kingdom once spring arrives and the snow melts in the mountains.
And I will be left here, broken-hearted and alone.
So I’ll keep my distance, no matter how difficult it may be. It’s better for us both. If only he didn’t have the knack for popping up whenever I am…
