A man at war with himself. In all her years as deputy sheriff, Shelby Kincaid never met a man as stubborn as Dakota Carson. Practically eaten by a grizzly bear and still that man insists on returning, alone, to his isolated cabin in the Tetons. Shelby's not even sure why it ruffles her--but she suspects it has a lot to do with the instant, powerful connection she feels with Dakota. If only he'd let down his guard with her.... Ten years as a Navy SEAL took its toll on Dakota's body, his mind and his heart.
