Jade Crew: Forgotten Bear. Ridgeback Bears, #3

Russell Warne is caught between two things that he can't compromise on: love and duty. On the one hand is his ex-Alpha, who has refused to accept his new position in the Ridgeback Bears. Everything screams for Russell to abandon him. Except for the fact that he owes him a debt. On the other is his Alpha, who is fighting tooth and claw for the Ridgebacks, and about who Russell knows an explosive secret that he can't share.
Except, perhaps, with the tall, charming and tougher than she looks woman who just walked into his life. After a tragic accident, Gwen Revere moved to Genesis Valley to be near her best friend. What she didn't expect, was to get caught in the cross-hairs of two groups of very large, and very angry, shifters within days of her arrival. But, amidst the frigid cold and harsh, unforgiving laws of Genesis Valley, she meets a smoking hot, deliciously muscled, and intelligent shifter who tries to protect her.
Who respects her strength and integrity instead of fearing it. As things heat up between them, Gwen begins to think that perhaps her move will have some unexpected benefits after all. But as secrets are unveiled and tensions rise, Gwen finds that although they escaped the cross-hairs initially, their budding love may cause the downfall of the one thing her mate can't betray...family. Can they find a way to be together without tearing the Ridgebacks apart?
