Taming the Wild
She tried to bite his face.
He offered her a job.
Now they’re stuck in a kitchen—and maybe something else
Raven Blackwood doesn’t belong in the human world. She was raised in the untamed wilds, a black bear shifter surviving alone for nearly two decades. She doesn’t understand clocks, paychecks, or polite conversation. But when the pack demands she integrate or be exiled again, she agrees to one impossible thing: working for a human.
Jamie Sterling has everything to lose. Once a tech billionaire, now a fallen-from-grace celebrity chef, he returns to his hometown to film a reality show and rebuild his reputation. Hiring a woman who growls at cameras and bites his lip during kitchen instruction? Not part of his planbut he likes it.
But Raven is more than a feral curiosity—she’s a raw force of nature, a woman with secrets he can’t explain and a wildness he can’t resist. And as their passion ignites, the line between predator and prey blurs.
When Raven’s truth is exposed to the world, Jamie must choose between the safe life he built… and the untamable woman who taught him how to feel again.
“Taming the Wild” is a fierce, funny, and unforgettable paranormal romance about breaking rules, claiming hearts, and finding love where you least expect it.
