Hello Readers! I am visiting Bearpaw Ridge today to help fight a forest fire and where two shifters are surprised by a mating bond. Enjoy and don't forget to add Inferno by Ophelia Sexton to your shelves!

Accidentally mated to her family's worst enemy…

Bear shifter Kayla Swanson is trapped. While fighting a wildfire in New Mexico, she makes a grave mistake and the flames are getting close. Lucky for her a tall, ruggedly handsome shifter comes to her aid. 

The fire may have been extinguished but their passion sparks a heated encounter. A mating bond takes them both by surprise, and a surprise baby is on the way. One problem: this shifter happens to be a disgraced police officer and convicted felon. A mating bond means forever, but what if forever doesn't work out?

Kayla's always wanted a mate and a family of her own. Just not this mate. How can she be bonded to a man she knows she should despise? Even if she can't stop thinking about his courage and compassion in the face of overwhelming danger… 

Claiming his fated mate…

A decade ago, sabertooth shifter Pete Langlais made a series of terrible decisions that effectively ruined his life. He lost everything: custody of his son Chris, his career as a police officer, his reputation, and his freedom. Trying to redeem himself, he volunteers as an inmate firefighter during a massive wildfire. When he meets beautiful, courageous Kayla, he knows he must risk everything to save her…and to claim her as his mate. 

Pete's courage and heroic actions win him a full pardon and freedom, but he knows he's got almost no chance of winning the heart of his pregnant mate or the respect of his estranged son. But he's beaten the odds before. He arrives in Bearpaw Ridge to claim Kayla and reunite with Chris, determined to prove to both of them that he's a changed man and worthy to be a mate and a father.

When fire burns, everyone's at risk of getting hurt...

Pete can try to convince Kayla of his true desires, but she has to decide for herself. Mated forever? Or is their love destined to go up in flames?

While fighting a wildfire in New Mexico, Kayla Swanson is trapped but lucky for her a tall, ruggedly handsome shifter comes to her aid. Pete Langlais is trying to redeem himself as a volunteer inmate firefighter and during a massive wildfire, he meets beautiful, courageous Kayla, he knows he must risk everything to save her… and claim her as his mate.

This shifter romance is one that starts off with an adrenaline spike first meeting that results in an accidental mating. The characters are strong, compelling and have a lot of sizzling chemistry but the relationship is one extremely star-crossed romance that could leave this hero and heroine mateless. Lots of emotional turbulence in regards to Pete and his past as he struggles to overcome his past and rebuild his life by convincing Kaya to give him a chance and by building a relationship with his son and in regards to Kayla, she is being torn between wanting her mate and her own family but facing being disowned by her family due to the events of the past. 

The story is original, fast paced and keeps readers on tender hooks throughout as the suspense and tension builds. But it has several heartwarming moments and lots of passion throughout the turbulence to cheer and delight readers as well, while the charming and intriguing supernatural community ensures that readers enjoy their visit to Bearpaw Ridge and the wonderful characters that inhabit it.
