Something is wild in the foothills of Virginia . . . Short on patience and long on driving, brilliant and curvaceous Valerie Perry takes a short cut to her newly purchased home, through the deep wild Virginia forest. She crashes on the side of narrow dirt road. It is after midnight and she is so, so vulnerable. She could have sworn she saw a bear. Valerie's giant SUV is right-sided by a man with unearthly beauty, Alex Orson. What is he doing in the dark Virginia woods at this hour and just happens to be there when she needs him most? Alex is also the town magistrate and nothing happens in the sleepy town without his permission. Billionaire Alex Orson has to be one of the most gorgeous, sensual creatures Valerie Perry has ever encountered. He stirs in her a passion that no human has ever. He is such an alpha creature and together Valerie and he create raw, animalistic ecstasy. In terms of head-strong, willfulness, in Alex, Valerie has met her mate. When life in the historical village is not as quaint as Valerie had hoped, and her world is deeply disturbed, Alex Orson soothes the savage circumstances. Alex may not be what he seems, but it is through their powerful passion, that Valerie is ultimately transformed into the woman she was always meant to be.
