Loving Deep (Steele Ridge, #4)

Biologist Britt Steele is on a mission­-to protect endangered red wolves in the mountains of North Carolina. But when the wolves extend their territory, he clashes with the new landowner—his mentor’s daughter, a sexy, determined woman who intends to sell her inheritance to the highest bidder.

Miranda Shepherd’s quirky bar is her passion, but money’s flowing out faster than she can pour a drink. An outsider’s bid to purchase the land she’s long called home will save her business. However, one man stands in Randi’s path—her mother’s former protégé, a dangerously handsome and persuasive man.

But an unscrupulous trophy hunter wants the game-rich property and he’ll stop at nothing to get his hands on the wolves’ haven. When members of the pack begin disappearing, Britt and Randi must join forces to protect the wolves and save a love of a lifetime.
