Nathan Cross is a shifter born to be an alpha. The loss of his family after an attack on his home of Sweetgrass Island has left him little more than a rogue. The last request of a dying man brings good fortune and Brooke Morgan into his life. While customs dictate that shifters are not to mix with humans, Nathan can’t resist an urgent pull towards Brooke that is much more than fate. 

Working together, they begin to revitalize the island, discovering symbols and uncovering legends that begin to unlock the mysteries that intertwine their troubling pasts. However, a global organization, Omega Development, wants the island for themselves and will do whatever it takes to get it from them. As their bond grows stronger, the odds against them stack higher. When the only choices they have left mean life or death, can they risk it all to stay together?

The Bitten Born

Nathan was getting used to the sporadic texts from Brooke asking for odds and ends to be done before she arrived to stay. The latest ask had been to install markers around the perimeter with ‘KEEP OUT’ and ‘NO HUNTING’ signs. He figured the reality that she was about to move all alone on an uninhabited island was finally sinking in. Part of him wished that she would just lean into the feeling and stay in New York. He’d even casually hinted at being able to finish the entire cabin by spring if she wanted to wait for better weather. 


“I believe the winters in New York are much more brutal than any weather your island could throw at me,” she’d replied. 


When it became clear that she was determined to proceed as planned, he’d petitioned Cole to install a temporary command post on his property with a 24/7 security detail.


“It’s in our own best interest as well,” Nathan had reasoned with him after a run along the river.


“You feel protective of this woman,” Cole had stated in response.
