Wild Release — Amy Ruttan

Bear shifter Étienne is haunted by the ghosts of his past. He is physically and emotionally scarred but that doesn't stop him from protecting his chief and his clan. Until one day when one of those ghosts comes back into his life.

Cara Christoph was forced to flee her people a decade ago in order to protect everyone she loved, including the man she was going mate with, Étienne. She never thought she'd see him again, until he ends up on her doorstep.

Étienne has one job to do, bring Cara home to her dying mother. He can't let himself get attached, but being so close to her makes the beast inside him wild. All too soon, the passion he thought long gone is rekindled into a burning flame.

A flame that comes perilously close to being snuffed out when Étienne's troubled past catches up with him.
