Buried by Earth (Highland Rift Pack Book 1: A Fated Mates Shifter Paranormal Romance)

One Alpha Warden. One hidden Earth Elemental. A bond that could cost them everything. Sam Leslie has spent the last decade hiding her Earth Magic. If anyone discovers what she is, she will lose everything—including the land that has become her sanctuary. She has lived in the shadows for so long that she no longer knows how to step into the light. As Alpha of the Highland Rift Pack, Hale's life revolves around protecting his people from the monsters lurking beyond the Rift Scar. He is a man of duty and steel, convinced that being a Shifter Alpha means he is destined for a life of stoic isolation. When a full moon hunt leaves Hale poisoned by a Rift scorpion and trapped in his wolf form, Sam has no choice but to take him in. The longer he stays, the stranger her land begins to behave—and the harder it becomes to keep her secret from the man who sees too much. But when another attack leaves Hale's life hanging by a thread, Sam faces an impossible choice: let him die, or reveal the forbidden magic she has spent years hiding. Can Sam and Hale trust each other, or will the secrets they keep bury them both? Buy Buried by Earth to start the Highland Rift Pack today.
