Shift After Dark by Liz Paffel

He’s not just an alpha grizzly shifter. He’s got more bite than that.
Bear shifter Gavin Perry sent his people to safety from the blood hunters, but danger threatens him at every curve. He dwells in the deep woods biding his time until he can find the man responsible for the disappearance of his King. But the corrupted hunters keep coming, delaying his mission and forcing Gavin to unleash his shifter-vampire hybrid bite.
He trusts no one.
He needs no one.
So when the sister of his best friend shows up, begging for his help, Gavin has his suspicions. The bear and the vampire inside him awaken with her scent. The man inside him demands he send her away.
But, he’ll test her intentions…push her boundaries while he tastes her sweet kiss.
And, he might just keep her.
Isla Lindsburg is a fugitive with a secret. She didn’t come to Gavin for friendship—or anything else. She came here to die. Yet, his wild touch unleashes something within her that she didn’t know existed. It could be the key to saving everything Gavin’s worked to protect.
But will their fated bond be enough to save her?
