Shielded by magic for over two centuries, Tamryn has finally been called forth and bound to the present day. Sadly, this world is more dangerous than ever for her. The forces who were after her before are still in pursuit. With no other option, she accepts help from the Rock Creek Clan. But she trusts no one, and silence is her last defense. Polar bear shifter Nolan has gone through his fair share of battles. Getting the mysterious new woman to talk to him is the most difficult of all. When he's called to be the protector who will guard her on her "quest," he knows two things with certainty: 1) protecting her will be easy, and 2) keeping his hands, lips, and mouth off of her will be his hardest battle yet.
