Language, custom, and ancestry forge seemingly impassable barriers between a woman and a bear shifter, but words cannot stand in the way when it comes to the language of the heart.
Autumn's settlement is still reeling in the wake of the werewolves' reign. If they are to protect themselves from future attacks, they will need help from their new bear guardians. The villagers are eager to give the bear shifters a reason to stay, especially after learning there are single males in the tribe interested in human wives. But before any of the bear shifters can court the village women, they must first wait for their chief to claim a mate.
Kohana saved Autumn from a vicious werewolf attack. When he offers to claim her as his mate, she is baffled. She's a human widow with two unruly boys. The mysterious and majestic indigenous bear shifter is chief of his tribe and the most gorgeous man she's ever seen. Surely he wants a young bride with her maidenhood intact.
The tribe's translator assures Autumn that she is the only female Kohana wants. He has witnessed her strength and position as a leader within her village. She has birthed two strong sons and looks out for her people.
After a passionless marriage, will Autumn make peace with the past and give in to her desires?
