Billionaire bear shifter Chase Hammer is on the verge of losing it all. As his company's stocks plummet in a post-recession New York City, Chase's primal side fights to emerge. The more stress the concrete jungle breeds, the more urgent his bear's needs seem. In a last-ditch effort to relieve stress, get his head on straight, and steer his company back in the right direction, Chase takes a spontaneous trip to his late parents' stomping grounds in the sanctity of Appalachia.

Curvy and quick-witted Carolina beauty Andrea Sloan lives in the small mountain town of Boone. With long days consisting of hiking trips and exploring along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Andrea has found true contentment in the mountain air. That contentment, however, breeds boredom and a need for adventure beyond what a simple mountain life can provide. So when a stranger from New York, dressed in designer clothes and wielding an air of mystery about him shows up in Boone just in time to rescue her from certain death, she can't help but be intrigued.

Can this fast blossoming love, supported by primal needs they never knew existed, meld two completely different worlds together? Or will forces beyond their control shatter everything they've come to hold dear?
