Pine Haven Shifters #3
Tane's Temptation
As a shifter, Tane has always known he’d eventually find his fated mate, but he never expected to pull her from a river…
Tane Howard hasn’t just lived by the law his entire life, as the sheriff, he is the law. Between his duties keeping Pine Haven Falls safe and protecting the town's secret shifter population, he hasn’t had time for fun – much less for romance.
His regimented life is rocked when a routine patrol turned rescue brings him face-to-face with Elaina, a beautiful woman in desperate need of a protector. Though Tane is clear on what his mating instincts are telling him about her, he does his best to ignore them. After all, Elaina is far too sweet, too young, and too human for a seasoned security chief like him.
Not to mention she’s obviously hiding something.
But when they become snowed in together after her rescue, their intense attraction cannot be denied. As their passion turns into emotional bonding, Tane must reckon with both his duty and his desires when Elaina's secret comes to light. Will he uphold the laws he’s sworn to enforce, or will he break them for love?
Tane’s Temptation is an instalove, fated-mates, shifter romance with a small town, big secrets, and a stoic sheriff drawn to protect a naive woman in need. It contains hurt/comfort, an age gap, snowed-in love, plenty of steam and a sweet HEA.
This Romance Short Read is the third book in the Pine Haven Shifters series, but can be enjoyed solo.

a cosy read
Get yourself a coffee, or better yet, a hot chocolate and snuggle up for an excellent read. I love the big / small trope and the trapped in a snowed in cabin bit for the sweetest protagonist of this series.
