Can two people fall in love…without saying a word?
The last thing that curvy maid Carmen Jackson expected to find while cleaning the most luxurious penthouse in Seattle…was true love. She certainly didn’t expect it to come in the form of tall, handsome werebear billionaire Aiden Dixon, one of the last remaining bachelors of the famous Asher-Dixon Clan, a grizzly bear shifter clan renowned for their prowess in the the boardroom and in the bedroom. However, Carmen’s boss, her aunt Polly, isn’t about to let Carmen get involved with a suspected playboy…so she forbids Carmen from talking to Aiden. With just one demand, Polly effectively ‘steals’ Carmen’s voice from her, and she can no longer talk to the man who managed to capture her heart. The last thing that luscious Carmen expects is for Aiden to be the bear that finds a way to not-quite break all of her aunt’s rules…
Of course, nothing lasts forever, at least for a girl like Carmen, who is used to losing the people who are most important to her in her life. When an unfathomably devastating betrayal happens, there’s only one set of arms Carmen can run into, only one man whose shoulders are hers to cry on…and that man is a burly badass billionaire who isn’t about to see the woman he is sure is his fated mate be hurt by anyone, no matter what. He whisks her away to the most famous shifter town in all of Oregon, his hometown of Port Jameson, but is fate going to give these lovers a happily ever after…or will they find more trouble in paradise before their once upon a time even has a chance to begin? What story does the mate mark on Aiden’s chest tell? And can that story reconcile the inner conflict inside of Carmen, who is torn between love and duty?
