The Scarred Heart — R.E. Butler

Kammie Townsend has always kept to herself. She doesn't want anyone to see the scars of her childhood, left behind by her abusive uncle. Everything changes for her on the night of the full moon, when she follows a reindeer and gets tackled by a bear shifter. He says they're mates, but even though he's the sexiest male she's ever met, Kammie knows that once he sees the evidence of her painful history he won't want anything to do with her.



Row Grayson has lived a hard life, fighting in tournaments for the amusement of the kings of neighboring bear sleuths. The only bright spots are his mother and his adopted sister, who is a reindeer shifter. On the way to take Dani to her people, she suddenly takes off and leaves Row behind. As he attempts to catch up to her, he senses his own mate in the snow-covered woods of a town called Wilde Creek. His mate is anything but receptive to his touch. Her skin is as scarred as years of brutal fighting have left his heart, but he knows he can convince her he finds her beautiful inside and out. When he takes Kammie back to his people to make her his mate, things go sideways fast â€" an enemy from Row's past tries to take Kammie from him. To save her, Row has to fight harder than he ever has.



When a determined bear tangles with an equally determined she-wolf, things will heat up fast. Expect growling, naked conversations, and a bear who will kill to keep his mate by his side forever.
