author: Bolryder, Terry
description: Sometimes a first love lasts forever... Carrie Miller has only loved one man. Cage McCann. As children, they meant everything to each other, but as teens, Cage had to leave town to escape his future as leader of the local motorcycle gang. Despite his promise to return, Carrie has nearly given up on seeing him again. That is, until a dark-haired stranger swaggers into her bar dressed in biker leather and gives her a kiss that shakes her to her soul. Somehow, for some reason, Cage is back. Cage has never forgotten Carrie. After serving in the armed forces and starting a private security firm, he has just been waiting for the right time to go back and claim her for his own. After all, it's not easy to tell the woman you love that you can shift into a bear. But when Cage needs to protect Carrie, he drops everything to run back to Winter Falls. The only problem? For this mission, he'll need to be undercover as the very thing Carrie hates most: an Ace. Making Carrie fall in love with him while wearing Ace leather isn't going to be easy, but if Cage blows his cover, he risks losing his chance to rid the town of the Aces once and for all. Now Cage will just have to prove that the Aces may be bad to the bone, but Cage is bear to the bone, and no one messes with what a bear holds dear.
