Third Time a Charm by Serena Meadows

A lone werewolf-shifter, banished by the villagers.
A young woman, with secrets to keep.
Their love is obsessive, all-consuming, and forbidden.

Abandoned by his mother as an infant, Jessie Rayburn has spent his life hiding out in the Appalachian ranges. He knows the rules: Avoid the villagers and keep his claws and fangs to himself. If the unspoken truce is broken, the villagers will shoot first and ask questions later. It’s a cold and lonely life, but he has prey to hunt and a land that calls his soul. It’s enough.

Until the day he scents her, and his blood is set alight.

She treads with the lightness of falling snow, too delicate to exist in his brutal world. His body draws tight as he follows her, but still he keeps his distance. She’s beautiful, otherworldly…untouchable. Something to be watched and worshipped from afar—until the day she finds herself lost, vulnerable, and surrounded by evil. No man or weapon will keep Jessie from protecting her innocence and destroying those foolish enough to harm her.

But a tiny voice haunts him in the dark. What if his obsession is the greatest danger of all?
