Nox (Grizzly Guardians, #5; Griz Mountain Shifters)

Nox from Griz Mountain Shifters gets his story as part of the Grizzly Guardians multi-author series!

Nox has never had it easy, but being taken in and raised by a rough-but-loveable clan of bear shifters might've been the best thing to happen to him. They gave him a home when he had none and taught him to be a male of honor. The only thing he had to do to keep his new found family was secure a mate so his inner bear wouldn't fall prey to the dreaded mating frenzy. It should've been easy because Gabby was already his...

From the first look. First touch. First innocent kiss.

But it all fell apart when she left for college without him. She had ghosts of her own to make peace with, and ambitions he couldn't understand. In a blink of an eye, his life was upended, but he never forgot the girl who taught him how to love.

Now, she's being hunted by a ruthless shifter criminal, and Nox has been hired to protect her. Face to face again, it's clear that neither of them has moved on. He's not finished with the pretty little human who stole his heart when he was sixteen. And if he's lucky, she's not done with him either.
