A winter trip to the mountains with her best friend Aspen was all Briar had planned, until Cole found her at Breeding Ground Lodge.
Rugged, muscular, and sure of what he wants, he gives her a night of flirtation that hardens into a connection neither of them saw coming.
Cole decides Briar is his and sets out to keep her close, while she learns how deeply she responds to being claimed.
His breeding kink shapes the heat between them, and their short stay also includes somnophilia.
What began as a seasonal escape at the lodge starts to feel less like a visit and more like a life she may not walk away from.
