An Alpha Werebear Lord and an innocent, strong willed woman fighting for her survival.
Eldest daughter of her clan, curvy Annina is fighting a powerful enemy for her family's survival. Complicated, bloody territory werebear politics have forced the North American Council to send an overlord to make the Seven Clans clean up their act.
When Bear arrives, he is required by old tradition to choose a daughter from the clans to take as his woman for a year and a day. In return for her submission, he will grant her a token favor of her choosing. Annina needs that favor, needs Kavanaugh- Bear's- support in council. Her grandfather's voice among the elders is waning and they will not listen to an innocent woman.
Will the pleasure she can provide convince Kavanaugh to break protocol and give her political support, against the unspoken laws of the Council? Or will he use her, take her for his own pleasure, and leave her unprotected from her enemies?
