Description from the publisher:

Small towns aren't for her, but he could be.

Sloan Kent believes in justice, for all. Humans and shifters alike. But when she's assigned to a new, shifter-run, Supernatural Enforcement Agency squad, she's suddenly regretting being open minded. Small town drama runs wild in Bearden and she doesn't want any part of it. She's just there to do her job… until she meets Lorne Bennett, that is.

Hard muscles ripple underneath his button-up, and that cowboy hat doesn't hide his piercing dark eyes. She knows better than to get involved with a bear, but the heart wants what it wants. Even when the heart wants a broody shifter she knows is bad news bears, literally.

He likes his women feisty and wild.
Her having a gun is just a bonus.


Lorne Bennett doesn't let anyone tell him what to do. Not his family, not his current alpha, and especially not some spitfire little human who thinks she's going to uncover all his secrets. He has good reason to keep those buried, and he owes those on Black Claw Ranch a debt for protecting his past.

But Sloan seems different, like she could be the one to put his heart back together after all these years. Being with her could be dangerous though, for both of them.

When their worlds collide Lorne and Sloan have to decide if their love really can conquer all when they’re confronted with the sins of the past. And if being mates can mend their broken hearts... or shatter them forever.

BREAKING FATE is the third book in the Black Claw Ranch series.  Though each will stand on its own, I would strongly recommend that you read them all and in the order of release. 



Sloane is feisty, sassy, self-assured, and strong.  She is also the only human, the only female, and newly assigned to the SEA (Supernatural Enforcement Agency).  Her transfer means living in Bearden among shifters who don’t trust humans as a rule and even less anyone on the SEA.  She doesn’t know who she can trust, who will have her back.  More than the transfer, her past has her keeping secrets, because of that undecided trust.



In most paranormal romances, she would find her mate in her new partner.  I like that she didn’t.  Instead, he’s one “bad news bear” of a cowboy.



Lorne also has a past that is holding him hostage.  He’s holding his bear back from claiming the human SEA agent that the bear says is his mate!



I loved the twist and pull as they both tried to figure out who they were to one another.  I loved the intrigues regarding Lorne’s family and Sloane’s previous department.  I loved Lorne and Sloane together and at the Ranch. 



In short, I loved this story and I look forward to returning to the Black Claw Ranch!
