Angie Powell’s business is failing and it’s Dare Callahan’s fault. His guide and hunting business rivals her own, forcing her to sell. When Angie’s last trip of the season throws Angie’s life in danger, the only man who can save her is Dare. Dare understands Angie’s hostility toward him, but it’s making it difficult to get a date with her. On the run for the lives, have they realized too late their true feelings for each other?

Angie and Dare are very compatible, and once they get past their animosity, they make a great team. Angie is a strong and independent woman. She desperately wants to hate Dare but her attraction to him keeps her from doing so. Dare has lusted after Angie from the first moment he saw her. Her prickly attitude keeps him on his toes as he fights his desire for her. Along with a tumultuous romance, Prey tells the story of a villain’s greedy motives and a bear’s murderous intent. Each scene with the bear is more thrilling than the next. The graphic depictions of his kills kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Prey is a riveting story full of danger, excitement, and romance.
