His Ghost to Bear (Guardians of Espen #2)

Nothing haunts him like the past.
Bear shifter Clayton Carrington loses damn near everything— his life, his goals, his dreams for the future—when his twin is killed in the flaming oil fields. In the process he gains something unexpected and deeply disturbing.

Candi Helle loses everything—her son, her reputation, her home—to her abusive ex-husband, who unfortunately has connections and money to burn.

They both run to Espen seeking refuge and answers. Clayton’s arrival pours fuel on the fire of Candi’s life. Despite the burn, she’s drawn to him by the sorrow he wears like a cloak. But she’s got so many sorrows to carry already, there’s no telling if one more will one more break her?

When circumstances threaten Candi’s life, Clayton steps up to defend her, despite his bear’s urge to follow the echoes of the oil rig fire into oblivion. Can two broken souls find a way to heal each other before they lose everything?


From authors Alana Hart and Sophia Barron comes another heat-filled collaboration about love, loss, sacrifice and triumph. Against everything, two souls burn to hold onto what they hold dear.
