What’s a woman to do if she’s lost in a blizzard on an isolated mountain, faints when she thinks she sees a bear, and then wakes up in the arms of a tall, dark, mysterious stranger? Give in to temptation and seduce him, of course.

Mathias Tassel is everything Ellen Mallory ever dreamed of in a man—thoughtful, caring, gentle, and he has a great sense of humor. Added to that, he’s gorgeous. What woman wouldn’t be tempted?

There’s just this one tiny little thing. At the height of passion Ellen keeps imagining Matt is turning into a bear. She can live with that. After all, she’s been questioning her own sanity for a while now and sex with Matt is mind-blowing enough to tip her over the edge.

Their snowbound tryst comes to an end when Matt tries to explain who and what he is—an immortal shape-shifter who also has psychic powers. Ellen may be crazy, but she’s not falling for that and sends him on his way.

But that isn’t the only thing standing between Ellen and Matt. There are other forces at work on Eternity Mountain, unknown factors which will reunite them, only to tear them apart again.

Can they survive the powers working against them and overcome an ancient Cherokee curse to find their destiny?
