About the book: year / Banished from the lands of his clan for the sins of his father, this alpha bear has nowhere to run and has no right to brand his mate. Try telling that to his inner bear. Cullen James was supposed to head north. The ancient law of the bears had robbed him of his land, his courage, and Wild Ridge, the only home he had ever had. When he heads south instead, fate throws him a surprise in the form of Anya Parker. Graceful, beautiful and full of sass, Cullen's heart knows what she means to him, even though he lost the right to claim a mate as soon as he was exiled from Wild Ridge. The last thing he needs is a conflict with a rival group of Russian polar bears. But when they set their sights on Anya, Callen must decide which laws must be broken, no matter what. While searching for her missing twin sister, Anya finds herself at the center of a conflict between bear clans that could destroy her. But nothing will stop her, and she will get to the truth to find out what happened to the only family she had. When Cullen shows up to save her from muggers in a dark alley, she knows he might be too dangerous, but she can't stay away from him. It's not just the lingerie model's looks and dark eyes that seem to see right through her. He may know something about his sister's disappearance and her own fate..
