Billionaire bear shifter Hudson Royce has learned to keep women at arms-length. He's been used before, and protecting his privacy is a top priority. Besides, he's too busy running one of the most powerful corporations in Chicago to waste his time on real relationships. But when a chance encounter with a bold, curvaceous stranger has him believing in fated love, he'll stop at nothing to make her his. Ballsy businesswoman Kay Hennessy wasn't sure she'd ever set foot back in Chicago after her ex cheated on her and broke her heart. When she finally revives her courage, she returns to the city only to be courted by the man who once devastated her. Chase wants her back, and she's ready to consider his proposal until she meets a sexy billionaire who may have a few extra talents she didn't even know were possible. Little do either of them know that Hudson is really a shifter prince who can't take the throne without a mate. And an opposing clan will do anything to keep him away ... even if it means killing the person he loves most.
