Recently divorced from an abusive husband, Daniela Reyes moves into a rental house in the middle of nowhere. Finding love is the furthest thought from her mind until she meets the attractive widower down the lane. He and the wild bear who visit her property are the perfect distraction from the ex-husband devoted to ruining her new life.

Russell Hawkins is a widowed southern gentleman with charm. As a werebear, he roams the woods with his dog, the perfect diversion from his grief -- and the voluptuous divorcee down the lane. He isn't ready to move on, but intervening in an altercation between his neighbor and her ex-husband changes everything for him. She needs more than a one-time protector -- he also wants to give her his heart.

But danger is on the horizon for Daniela. A divorce decree is only a piece of paper, and it won't keep her safe from the desperate man haunting her new home.
