"If we’d given you a nickname like skunk, you’d have just dyed your hair black and white and never showered.” Hex by name and hexed by nature. Cursed to dream of his mate dying night after night. To feel the cold water fill his lungs and force the last breath from his body. Just as one day his mate would die in the ice-cold water of the creek. Perhaps it was a good thing that Hex had never met her... more"If we’d given you a nickname like skunk, you’d have just dyed your hair black and white and never showered.” Hex by name and hexed by nature. Cursed to dream of his mate dying night after night. To feel the cold water fill his lungs and force the last breath from his body. Just as one day his mate would die in the ice-cold water of the creek. Perhaps it was a good thing that Hex had never met her. If his mate never entered his life, she wouldn’t suffer the cruel fate he’d relived over and over again. Then he meets Martha, a cougar from Cougar Ridge and he knows he must see his dream as a blessing, not a curse. What if the dream was given to him as a gift so that he can save her? Martha has returned to Cougar Ridge to care for her mom who is sick. As a forty-something cougar shifter who longed for a mate and children, she’d put all her energy into forging out a successful career in the city. She had almost given up on finding her mate and then fate brings him into her life and into her heart. But Hex seems standoffish, as if he isn’t ready to commit, even though he is a bear shifter who should share the same need to find his mate and raise a family. Martha soon finds out Hex has a secret. A secret that has haunted him his whole life. Is it possible he has foreseen her death? Can they work together to make sure she stays alive so they can live together forever? Or has Hex got it wrong? Is it really Martha’s death he dreams of, or his own? less
