Hard Landing by Ophelia Sexton

Trapped with a woman whose scent tempts his wolf

When smokejumper Carl Jensen’s parachute accident leaves him with a badly-hurt leg, he’s forced to take shelter on a remote mountain ranch. The ranch’s owner, a lush, curvy woman, intrigues him. He’d like nothing more than to keep her warm through the cold nights.
Too bad Michelle wants nothing to do with him.
Maybe that’s because she saw him shift from wolf to human. Or maybe because she guards a fragile heart.
When Carl coaxes a kiss from her tempting lips, his wolf demands that Carl claim her as their fated mate. In that instant, Carl realizes he must find a way to stay with her and woo his woman.
But when an evil bear shifter threatens Michelle, Carl must set aside his plans for a slow seduction.
Now that he’s found his true mate, he’ll fight to the death to protect her.
Can she resist the sexiest man she’s ever seen?
Michelle Hernandez came to the mountains of Colorado to heal her broken heart. After a bitter betrayal and divorce, she’s sworn off men. On her Rocky Mountain ranch, she cares for the younger brother she’s taken in. Together they try to keep her business afloat.
Not easy when something—or someone—keeps ruining her fences and attacking her livestock.
Or when a handsome, rugged smokejumper crash-lands on her ranch and needs a place to recuperate. Michelle tells herself she can resist the wolf shifter even though he’s the sexiest man she’s ever seen. She’ll keep her distance and ignore his promise to protect her.
But when Carl claims her lips, her world tilts. Can she take a chance on a wolf shifter who promises forever?
